Black Drum
The Black Drum is a species of fish found primarily in the western Atlantic Ocean, particularly along the coasts of the United States and Mexico. They are known for their distinctive dark, silvery-black coloration and can grow up to 60 inches long and weigh over 100 pounds. Black Drums are often found in estuaries and coastal waters, where they feed on crustaceans and mollusks.
These fish are popular among anglers due to their size and fighting ability. They are typically caught using various fishing techniques, including surf fishing and bottom fishing. Black Drums are also known for their unique drumming sound, which is produced by specialized muscles that vibrate their swim bladder.
