Massive old black drum! That fish could be nearly 50 years old! Happy that you stuck with it and got a good release. Strong work Sir!

Here's an idea: Use a sump pump to push water over the gills and a skewer is good to keep on board also.

Wild thought on the sump sump. Gonna get a turkey baster for next time

Awesome video bud. We’ve had to do that with big crappie in the winter when catching them in deep water.
