I decided to hit the surf after a few days of not fishing. I put on some nice stink clams and heaved it out into some beautiful looking water. A few minutes later, the line moved a little, so I tightened up and set the hook. After quite a few minutes and a 30 yard walk down the beach, I landed this ~39” black drum. Since I couldn’t accurately align the tape, the fish will not be entered into the FOM.
I was glad someone was around to take my picture. Upon releasing the beast, I was hit by a nice wave and filled up my waders. Stayed for a couple of hours and lost another drum, I think it rolled over on my line. Anyway, what a great fight and my PB.
