The Big one!


100 pound black drum! I was close to the world record for black drum by 10 pounds. I cought this puppy on a spinning rod at that! The cooler is 49 inch's wide so you can see how long the drum was. I think it was in the 60 inch range, so I have been told. I cought the piece in Virgina under the bridge tunnel. My cuz cought one a tad bit smaller than this one and my whole family witch has to be one of the smartest fisherman family I know caught 5 citation size fish(cobie,2 Strip bass, 2 black drum). All of them are a 10 out of 10 on the fisherman chart. They can catch fish when no one else can and really have people waiting in line so they can fish with them. Sam my dad,Scott,Dennis,David Morgan are well known in this region and can catch,shephead,cobia,red,black drum,stripers like no one else can. I go a tad bit with them, but I am no die hard either. I love to go though, because when I go with them I usally catch the big one and I always have a good time. Had to show this big daddy for which it did get a citation and we got 5 citation this weekend for the whole family. This was a very old black drum and were I come from (wilmington,NC) this fish get around 5-10 pounds, so this catch was a big catch if you know what I mean.
