I fish when I can...used to fish the Hootch about a 100 times a year and I've done the Jones Bridge to Holcomb float a ton ! Now I try and get off shore as much as I can.
Well one worked....
@how2fish - yer good, I see two fish - two real good fish!
This was a long time ago...when I was young and had my health . I love to fish and have been lucky enough to be able to do it for 50 years....but its humbling I've been to OB twice this month and have yet to catch a 10+lb red snapper...we have fished ourselves silly and have had a real hard time finding fish that would bite and big enough to keep...and nothing trolling....still a bad day fishing is still better than well most everything else having anything to do with work.
Dang @DuckDawg25 - you should change your name to HawgDawg25; gorgeous fish!
Great fish! Congrats!
Here's some LearN' 4 ya:
Yeah, I’m just messing. I’ve heard them called by both names but in my family we called them speckled. Kind of like the two different ways people pronounce crappie.
Based on the wiki I'm going to call them Nosferatu fish from now on. 🤓
Won't be long until a movement will be made to call them all "fish". Equality across the cutting board.
BTW- I've always fished for and caught "crappie"......
I like to call um Dinner.
We like to eat some slabs too.
Does anyone eat Black drum? I will not touch one. Someone was recently talking about the black drum they were catching and I sort of scoffed at the idea of eating one. The guy said the fish on the Atlantic, in South Carolina, aren’t riddled with parasites like the black drum and amberjack in the Gulf. I had never heard that and wondered if it was really true, and if so, how far South does that apply? I mostly fish the Gulf, so the thought of putting a black drum in the cooler would be about like keeping a freshwater carp.
6-pack...its whats fer dinner:)
That's just all we could hold in our hands. There were more on the fillet table 😁😁😁
Caught a few last summer out of the Atlantic off my coast (actually in a canal/marsh coming off the ocean). Filleted one and tried it out while cooking some reds. If the reds were a 9/10, the black was a 6.5/10. Not bad. Not great. Going back in two weeks. Will probably not keep one this year to eat...
I've eaten smaller ones several times, fried they were pretty tasty. I let the bigger ones go.
My son's personal best. Caught her yesterday morning.
Holy cow! Are you sure that fish didn't catch your son?
