Just a nibble at first alerted the lady angler to grab her rod to catch what she thought would be but a small fish. Seconds later she was straining and hanging on for dear life screaming for her husband. Quickly racing over to help he grabbed her around the waist, yelling, “HANG ON HONEY!!”
Black drum (Pogonias cromis), Known locally as Texas drum, channel bass, saltwater drum, gray ghosts, or gasper-goo are members of the croaker family and are related to the Atlantic croaker, redfish, and, surprisingly the speckled trout. Unique to this fish is its ability to create thundering, drumming sounds from its air bladder’ a capability most developed in the black drum. Small drum (a pound) are called “puppy drum” while adults of 20 pounds or better are referred to as “bull” drum,” which can be either male or female.
