There's nothing more spoiled nor opinionated than fishermen, except maybe hunters. We've got a lot of drum in Grayrocks Reservoir here in Wyoming. They fight a hell of a lot better than walleye(try a 5 pounder), bite when walleye won't, love lead-headed jigs with half a crawler, and taste just as good as redfish, bass, northerns, and most trout. If you can fillet a crappie, you can fillet a drum.
You mean their rib bones are like steel girders?
