Black Drum

Rockport Fishing Report

In the mix of trout fishing, this happened. Throwing a fat boy paid off with a new PB black drum. I've caught lots of drum on bait, but never would I suspect on a corky. Last drum I caught on a charter measured in at 47in, and it was caught in 2 feet of water on oyster with dead shrimp. This guy blew that big boy out of the water. The exact size is unknown, and the weight is also unknown. Everything happened so fast that I picked it up so fast to get a picture and off it swam. Hopefully, it swam strong and off to go terrorize more blue crab.
