my father caught a 70lb drum fish last week in wildwood..we kept it and got 15 lbs of meat to eat, it was realy good.

[dickdog75]

@WTFMiCHEAL awesome! i didn't know they were still out there! nice!

[MrDenverbroncosize]

How many pounds was the drum and did you keep it?

[dickdog75]

@MrDenverbroncosize not sure exactly on the weight (maybe 30-40lbs?) and no we don't keep them ever

Just asking what kind of boat is that. We are going to get one for ourselves and we need some advise.
