pound-for-pound they are scrappy fighters as well. More than once I have gotten the net ready for the big walleye I was fighting only to realize it was a drum when I got it up to the surface. I have never eaten one. I have tried to use them a few times as cutbait for catfish, and they are terrible. I figure if a catfish won't even eat a drum... well, that's a sign.
I am just pullin' your leg.:D
