But wow the first 10 seconds is fun.

You must not have caught any big ones. I love to catch Drum and you can make poor boy shrimp out of them.

Poor boy shrimp, The best poor boy shrimp is bluegill bream filleted and boiled in crab and shrimp boil and chilled, served with cocktail sauce.

slabntates,

I've won many a bass tourney...for about those 10 seconds you're talking about...hooking up on a big ole drum I thought was a largemouthed bass. Once that big ole drum gets tired and starts circling straight up to the top, it's " it's a got dang drum again!!"

Nimrod,

In the summer, I bet I throw 50-60 a day on the bank. Them soft mouthed suckers can strip a line of all the shad before ya can get to the last hook on a long line.

The lock master at #6 calls me "goo-killa". LA piles 'em high and won't think twice about. Ain't no shame in my game.

Dog my garden is so full of fish , I'm afraid it will smell terriable come planting time.:D

I dug so many holes in the garden for catfish guts and bones when I was a kid, we had to fillet our tomatoes.

Dog, ditto on the bass tournament wins, that usually get my dander up and the drum dont come out on the winning end of that situation. I hate fishing the on the river during the summer month due to the number of drum i catch, i always try to go into the back waters to catch my bass. Them ole drum have ruined more of my tournament wins that i care to count. But i have ruined way more of them drums day than they have of my tournament days.

Yea, I may need to put tarter sauce on my veggies next summer. LOL LOL Used to feed extra fish and scraps to Hogs but not raising any this winter. Folks made jokes about Hogs tasting fishy and I told them pork chops were great with a little tarter sauce.:D

10 sec....lol your still catching little ones,the thump and the fight the LARGER drum gives a faller they should be rated number one in line breakers.Chopped up drum makes good long line bait too,,,so does 1 1/2lb crappie and small channel cats.

Turtle bait, when you are fishing with 7'6'' heavy action bass rods with twenty pound test, and a half ounce bass jig and one of those 25 pound drum hits, i set the hook so hard that it cause that little rock in their head to break, it makes gravel, they dont have alot of fight when you set the hook hard enuff to rip thier head off and thier lips get loose to.

If you'd get a sharp hook you wouldn't haveta break your boat seat setting the hook on them tough mouthed nasty trashy stinking lg. mouth bass.
