While crappie fishing on Lavon this weekend I caught this giant thing. We think it's a drum. Is it? Thanks!

That'd be my guess based on the fin structure and coloring.

What kind of craft is in the picture?

Yes, that is a freshwater drum...and a mighty nice one at that. Good fighting fish.

If that isn't a drum.....it's the biggest crocker I've ever seen. Wait a minute; Lavon isn't salt water....is it confused

1. How many crappie did we catch...
ONE!! It was a bad day. Lots of sandies.
2. What kind of craft is in the picture...
Calling it a craft is too much credit. It's an inflatable mariner fishing boat+trolling motor+lawn chairs. It's called budget fishing. :-)

Thanks for the replies! Big help.

That is a good drum. I caught one about that size on an ultralight with a tube jig on Lake Limestone in October last year. What a battle!

Plhillip caught one on lavon several years ago that was 25lbs, caught it on live crawfish. That was the biggest one, caught 4 more smaller, but none under 10 lbs.
