Black drum

Post by Pier#r »

Caught and released this 'big ugly' last Saturday in Pelican Bay (Alabama) near the old landlocked Dauphin Island Pier.
Sightcasted on 10# test spinning outfit using a 3" Gulp Shrimp (New Penny) on a 1/4 oz jig head.

44" long, it likely weighed about 40# :shock:

Nice Drum.
