[cool]Hey, those drum are lots of fun and good eating too. They are inland cousins of the famous "redfish" in Atlantic and Gulf waters. I have taken some chunky ones...on lures...that made me thing I had something a lot bigger on my line...like a record bass or catfish.
Did you get those on jigs or spoons...or dragging crawlers?
Hope the weather gives you a break. I am waiting for the weather to stabilize here too. It finally dropped in temperature, but the transition of seasons usually brings more wind than I like to fight..expecially in my Fat Cat (float tube). Hopefully next weekend will bring both cooler water and calmer breezes.
Good luck and keep those fishies busy.
You should post those pics on the Utah board, if you haven't already. Those troutaholics out there will probably lump drums in with carp and suckers. Although there are more warm water fans and even some other transplants who already know about drums.
By the way, down in 'Nawlins they calls dem drums "gaspergou".
