I'm sure coon does, but does anyone else keep them? I don't know of anyone who keeps them but I have heard from a few people that they get filets from markets and that they are damn good when cooked right
Edit : dumb post, was talking about big drum

Is it a dumb question?

treat em the same as redfish, throw em back over 27". you'll never tell the difference between the meats

Oh, the ones I have seen caught where all fricking huge and that's why they were tossed back I guess, thanks

Drum fail.

Keep the ones just over 16" and throw all others back. In the summer months, throw all back due to they get these big arse worms in them. Not the same that trout get.

Caught one when I was a kid, 12#+ off the Grand Isle bridge. I was beaming with pride, until the fillet knife hit. I asked what all that spaghetti looking stuff was in the meat. "Thems is flukes, boy", sez the old hand at the cleaning table.
When restaurants ran out of redfish during the K-Paul blackening craze, they switched to blk drum. Same taste. I wouldn't keep one over 24".

They taste pretty good when small, but they don't have near the meat on them that redfish do.
I keep them depending on how I feel when I catch one.

I keep them but will throw back the bull drum unless someone wants to make some fish boulettes.

reminds me of the time we kept a larger one due to it swallowing the hook. this guy wanted to buy it from me at the cleaning station at the marina. he looked like a kid on christmas morning when i told him he could have it. Ill only keep the smaller ones that have prominent black stripes.

I most def. keep the smaller ones. I would think you would need a chain saw to filet a big bull drum. They could make steel toed boots out of those scales.
