Fish On, no need to apologize, I hope you didn't think I was being jerky. After I opened the thumbnails, I thought they were big redfish too. I think when reds get really big, they get more bulky and resemble black drum more. And those fish have a coppery color like reds.

Now that you say that though, I should have known they were black drum though b/c they don't have a spot.

I actually thought maybe they were stocked fish and that's why they looked different. I know they have a big stocking program down there and I know we used to catch some funny looking trout back in my freshwater days.

This was my 6th year fishing down there, but my knowledge is mostly thru reading or shows. After my first trip down to FL, I fell in love with the fishing. So I read about it, check out the shows like "Addictive fishing" that are mostly set in FL. Strange, but I actually read more about southern fish than I do stripers. Probably cause I get to fish for bass 40-50 times a year versus 2 or 3 times in Florida.

ps... those are still huge reds.

No worries, my compliments on your identifying the black drum.

Tight lines!
