Detailed Description:

These black drum fish photos shown below are close up pictures showing you exactly what a black drum fish looks like. Black drum are caught in salt water or brine water, and are a favorite eating fish for many fishing anglers. Larger black drum often lose their stripes while the smaller black drums have clear black stripes on them. Black drum over 10 pounds are normally released as large fish may get worms in the meat. It's fine to eat them as the worms can be pulled out or cut out, or even if you accidently left them in there it would not hurt anything. It's just that many people get grossed out when they see this type of thing, but worms are actually common in many fish. Either way releasing the larger fish is also a very good thing, as they lay the most eggs and will help keep the fish population thriving in the future. Make sure when you release fish that you do your best to not harm them, by not handling them too much and getting them back into the water as soon as possible without harm. Black drum often feed on bait such as shrimp, fiddler crabs, and clams. Cut up fish, oysters, or minnows may also work as black drum bait.

These larger black drum have lost some of their stripes, but it shows the difference between the black stripes on the smaller black drum above, versus the larger black drum shown here below.

Please remember to always following fishing regulations for catch and release, as it is important to release fish to help keep the population strong for the next time you go out fishing. Releasing larger fish that produce the most eggs is also critical, and remember when releasing fish that you handle them as little as possible, and get them back into the water as soon as you can.
