Anchored down at the third island about 2and half hours without a bite,had one line on the side of the boat with small spade hook and a piece of clam. While casting to the rocks and the pilings the pole in the holder started to scream, after about a 20 minute fight I got the drum to the side of the boat.While my brother is trying to get him in the net the hook popped out and my brother dropped the net and grabbed the tail and I grabbed the net and got his head in and we pulled him up over the side. I don't know the weight but he was 49 inches. If I to guess the weight Iwould say about 65 pounds. Only fish we caught that day. 5/22/10
