@heyskipperofficial: This “Trash Fish” Might Surprise You 🎣 Black Drum often gets called a “trash fish,” but that label couldn’t be further from the truth. 🎣 While they’re not always the top target for sport fishing, Black Drum are actually a strong, hard-fighting fish that can grow to impressive sizes. They’re closely related to Red Drum and are commonly found near inshore waters, bridges, jetties, and estuaries where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and small shellfish. They’re also an important part of the ecosystem, helping keep crustacean populations balanced. And when it comes to eating, smaller Black Drum are actually considered very good table fare when cleaned properly. So are they a “trash fish”? Not at all. They’re underrated, powerful, and definitely deserve more respect from anglers. 🎣 #fishing #fyp #explore #reelit #fishingreel #fishinglife

They have a lot less worms than people think and cooking it (the right way) cancels the taste of the worms out

Nyelle ✨ :

I swear this is the fish I see common only at fish markets and you can get them fried 😭. There is worms in a lot of stuff even store bought salmon. We all probably need a worm detox

BigFishFishin :

Black drum over hated. They taste rlly good and get huge and fight hard even when they aren’t huge. The only ones I’ve seen with worms are the big ones I have yet to see a small one with worms
