Drum are underrated fighters, very powerful, I've gotten several out of the Illinois river. Have you eaten drum before? I ask because someone told me they're kinda bony and oily so I've never kept one
Which lake? |
I procrastinated to clean my fish all day but I got er done. I cut a piece of each of the three I kept drum, wiper bass and channel cat to sample. I'm saving the fish for later when I can get some charcoal or more time to do them right.
And the winner of my sample taste test was the drum mmmmmmm yum
I liked both the cat and bass about the same but what made the drum superior was it didn't have that gamey taste to it like the other two did.
The cleaning of the drum really wasn't that bad at all if you have a scraper and scrape off the scales first. That was my first drum. The bass was easy I didn't mind cleaning that at all and the cat wasn't as bad of cleaning it as I thought it would be but I'm never a fan of cleaning cat fish.
I'm sold on the drum I want to catch more of them .
(and your right Easy6 I should have kept the other 4 cats once I started cleaning these I got on a roll. I just dreaded cleaning all of them lol)
