@BIGChuy111 It is a black drum just look at the side fins, i think i would know i'm a biology major, currently working with the UTPA system on South Padre Island taking counts of these fish. Fishing since i was 10 months old and i happen to use both of my red tags every year. Answer me one thing where is the big black spot redfish have to help divert predators when they are young...??? exactly...
@nref55 This is definitely not a black drum. This is a red fish or like most people call them Bull Red's. Black Drum look completely different. The reason this guy threw this fish back was because most likely he wanted a bigger Red Fish for his TAG or had already used his TAG up on another Bull Red. In Texas you only get one Red Fish TAG per year unless you send the used one up to the Wildlife division and they will send you a new one.
@huntfishtrap32 then you must not fish that much, its a black drum, it didn't even have the redfish spot, reds dont have the huge hump, they are also slimmer.
black drum are always full of worms
