Nice catch! I've been catching them by the dozen in south dakota. Late summer and early fall are the best times up here. Now we call those "white perch" drum fish up here because they make a sound like a drum roll. Our gfp made them a "non-game" fish also and some people say they taste like crap, but I like to eat them. As long as you keep them cold until you clean them they taste great. I will say they put up a great fight, I always think they are something alot bigger until I can see them.
