Pretty sure this is a freshwater drum...just looking for verification. He was a hog. The sandal is size 12.

It is a freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens. The state record is 44 pounds, so they get big. That is a nice one and I bet the initial run was impressive. Congratulations on the catch.

Thanks guys. He was an excellent fight, and covered a lot of water.
