Drum are fighters in their own way, not athletic but they really know how to hug the bottom, in my experience they'll pull down like a catfish twice their size, took my trusty Zebco spincast several good turns to get them in... just a thick slab of a fish, i've heard they're not the best eating though, so havent tried that, supposedly very bony & oily.

Drum are not too bad eating. Just deep fry them well, and make sure the breading is fairly flavorful. Honestly, they're probably a bit more of a whiter meat than catfish, with about the same taste, and the meat is a bit more flakey.
