Congrats! That's a beauty! Glad to hear the Old Drum are hitting the poppers like that and not just a rumor. Word is that is gaining popularity over soaking bait at times. Hoping we catch his brother when we get down there in a few weeks. Pretty fish man.
That's a pretty fish! Just setting up our trip at the end of September around the full moon and here looking for tips to get bait and where to set up. We chartered a couple of years around the mouth but have our own salt worthy boat now. I love throwing the cast net if I can find em. Where can we buy cut bait between Oriental and Whortonsville anyone? We're staying up the creek near Whortonsville so I'm hoping the two shoals just outside there will pay off.
Awesome job, congratulations!
Jerry, those fish wouldn't have bit for him had he not had on his lucky cap! At least one member of the family is pulling for the right team, lol. Just kidding, you know I couldn't resist. Life would be mighty boring if we all pulled for same teams.
Jighead weight?
Wasn't sure if I wanted to take the 3wt with me in the kayak Saturday. Thanks for making my mind up for me! Good work!
Very nice. Looks like the Cape Fear River even though you referenced the Roanoke Sportsman.
Nice Catch, especially on light tackle, I caught one ove 6lbs at Kentucky lake, and I was trembling trying to get it in the boat, and they are powerful swimmers, who love moving water.....One thing for certain you never forget a six pound smallie, and they don't come often in the southeast. Congratulations Will
Man, that is a nice fish! Never caught smallmouth yet, hope to someday. Congrats!
Good job, fellas. Nice blackfin, Sgt Major!
Lifetime Memories were created today.
Great report. Definitely sounds like a day neither of you will soon/ever forget!
I never meet him, but I never PM'ed without a timely response and he was helpful everytime. I will miss his presence on this forum. I pray for the friends and family of this good man. May they find peace. Thank you Randy for the post. Darrell

Nice fish and good write up. Were you on the river or sound? What bait or lure? Been here 4 years and have yet to hook up with a drum.
now that is beautiful
Everybody knows Mack photoshops his fish especilially the cats. he texted me a four pound channel cat and called it a fourty pound blue. Do not be deceived .
