Freshwater drum?
 

Attachment 49482
Just guessing, never caught one until this afternoon.

Good old fashioned gaspargoo. You can cut that up and sell it for crawfish bait. Not good for much else though.

Makes the best courtbouillon. Better than catfish.

Same as a water red fish or drum . Just smaller.

Most people that say this will eat redfish all day long. It makes me laugh

Not too bad, it ain't redfish for sure! I won't keep em.

Top Dawg and Feesherman are gou aficionados, seen em in pics where they go target them wearing cutoff jorts:grinpimp:

Never eaten one, but they have to taste like redfish

We've always made patties with them.Just like with garfish. Its good eating IMO

Not too many "REAL" coonasses will turn em down in a gravy.

Gouboullion!

You're right. The cold moving spring water we catch them in makes them less fishy than their saltwater cousins.

Hard on a fella today lol.

For the record I don't eat redfish either, but It makes for excellent trading material. i have some older retired neighbors that love them, my window seals stay full of fresh tomatoes and the freezer is full of okra and beans. I don't eat drum, salt or fresh water. There's much better fish in the water. Attachment 49577Attachment 49578Attachment 49579
