Puppy drum - in the 16-22" range are excellent. Even better in S. Mississippi they are not considered game fish - no limits on size or creel.

I like better than redfish.

Awesome. So if they're any bigger they're not as good im guessing?

How do you cook em if you don't mind me asking.

Redfish, blackfish... don't matter to me. Give me one about 18" and I call it dinner.

I would extend the size to 25 or even 27". Any bigger than that and you may get parasites like the others have said.

Black drum tastes really similar to redfish and their fillets look just like redfish also. They are both part of the drum family so that is why they are so similar.
