Nice drum, Mel.
How did you catch that fish? Snagging, foul hook, or did it bite a hook?
Thanks for sharing.
Tony, that fish bit a #1 hook with a Chartreuse Big Gulp Swim Mullet and a small piece of brined shrimp. Here is a photo my wife snapped as I got it up to the boat.

I do cut a half inch of the front of the Gulp because the hook is a bit short for that bait. The Black Drum are not common, but not rare in that location.

Here is one my Wife caught couple of weeks ago. It was small enough that we fried it that night. If we had been catching any of our preferred fish we would have let it go.

Then, another evening after work produced these.
‘Twas a good week outdoors, indeed.
I love mushrooms and that looks like a delicious haul! Just being in the woods or on the water makes for a good day, but when the mushrooms are popping up or the fish biting, that is a treat.
