Anyway, to make a long story short, we fished all afternoon and all we caught was a drum. Had consumed many Kold Beer that day. Also had some BoonesFarm wine. Well, we had heard of them rich folks that ate fish marinated in wine. So guess what we did? Took tin can, soaked drum in BoonesFarm, built fire and cooked. No, being pretty well soused did not improve flavor of fish. Last and only time I tried drum!:D
That story made me nauseated! I would of thrown away the drum and ate the ash!
