are you speaking of just freshwater? If so, there is only one type of freshwater drum. "Aplodinotus grunniens" I am pretty sure the former part of that name is latin for "it grunts"

Scott:
According to the article in Wikipedia, "It is the only species in the genus Aplodinotus."
In the pictures I have seen, they do range from silver to dark bronze, but still just one species.

Screw all the sissy/glam species everyone else goes after; if you're banging that many drum, maybe you should start promoting drum trips. The next question is, can you put us on drum-on-the-fly?

The freshwater drum, Aplondinotus grunniens, is the only freshwater drum native to Texas. The difference in coloration can be explained by genetic variability, turbidity conditions of the water, temperature, and possibly stressed induced external color changes.
I frequently collect and observe various species of fish change color immediately after undergoing galvanotaxis (being electrofished), being handled and tagged, or simply staying out of water too long. Some regain their natural color and recover quite quickly in the live car, while others may take longer to regain their natural coloration.
Either color, gasper goo are fine table fare to eat and fun to catch. They frequently inhabit deeper slow runs and are invertivore feeders.

It might also have something to do with water depth that the fish is in. I know down here in the salt you can tell which fish have been on a shallow flat by how bronze or "tan" they are from the sun only having to go through a few inches of water to get to the fish. Maybe?

it depends, because some freshwater lakes have redfish in them/red drum, and the whitish ones are a different one called a gaspergou, it is a different variation from the freshwater drum family.and i hear they're excellent eating.

I have made quite a few posts on my blog on catching drum in the Sabine river. They seem to hit anything that is a black woolybugger that is moving very fast.
