Strolled up a few

[oghfm]

Eleven  12 inchers and 2 illegals  and a token rubber fish.  Started at 10 off at 2, big lull between 11:30 and 1 because of dain bramage,  should have changed colors sooner.  They were liking brown/chartreuse early, ended up preferring bluegrass.  Not bashful, good thumps 16-18 fow about 2-3 foot off the bottom.  Met a father/son team, Mark and Lance.  Nice visit.  Also, just thinking out loud, is there any way to neuter drum?

It was great to be able to talk to you on the water yesterday! We truly appreciated the conversation and the tips! No one fisherman knows it all and we continue to learn and pick up tips every time we run into somebody like yourself. Thanks again!

"Also, just thinking out loud, is there any way to neuter drum? "

The best way I have found is dynamite. You could chum an area and then perform a mass circumcision. Just kidding.  lol

Funny that all other types of drum are sport fish.. red black and the like but our big fresh water drum get treated so unfairly lol

Anybody tried eating one?  I know they did up along the Mo river years ago.  People up there tend to get bored and try anything.  I haven't caught one since the 80's.  I've been so skunked lately, would probably try one myself!

I have eaten a few in years past, was strange.  You might have one that was fine and roughly equivalent to a bass fillet and the next one would be tough and chewey, never figured out a way to tell the difderence.

My dad was from the depression and they ate what they found, but I remember a fish market in St Joseph as a boy where they sold drum as well as buffalo.  I've never had either.  I've eaten white bass, though.  A guy can get hungry for fish!
