Not really, Carp eat mostly organic material. Drum eat like a Catfish does. You also have to cut the mud line out of the center of the fillet when you carve them up. They taste about like Catfish, and the meat is about the consistency of Bass. IMO.
Carp are far bonier as well... |

Seriously, you have to deep fry them. Wouldn't eat them any other way. Kind of River Rat style to eat drum, but it's no worse than eating the Channel Cat.

My dad grew up on Grand River and it a total river-rat - but he'd never mess with Drum. I'm not saying you're wrong, .... merely comenting. Lake of the Ozarks are full of drum fish.

Or a 4WD. Stick it down in low range 4WD and you’ll crawl right out.

I like a nice big fillet though, so I can cut it in chunks and cut the red meat out in the process. The red meat is the nasty stuff with the fishy taste, get a mouth full of that and it’ll put you off eating fish for a while. That’s also why we kick back flat heads and blue cats smaller than about 20#. I made the mistake of taking a 10 lb’er home once and by the time I got through cutting out all the red meat I was left with a handful of white fish meat, maybe a pound, and a trash can full of fish guts.

Yeah, that mud line in the Drum is pretty nasty. I was telling a buddy about it and he said, "Anything with a mud line in it can't be good." I think we got about 2 lbs of meat off of that 4 or 5 lb drum. That's a good average in my book. |
