Hunting & Fishing healthy black drum on fly

Been a couple weeks ago now but since I finally figured out how to post pics I thought I'd throw this up. Had nice, calm day on the upper laguna.

You guys with boats and easy water access are making me green with envy....

Very nice catch, even more so on a fly

I bet he was thumping like hell.

One of these days I will move south. I bet that was fun.

I'm thinking that wasn't caught on the average 4wt rod...

Xi2 or xp 8wt don't recall. Really wasn't much of a fight till boat side. I like the blackies, usually a bit more finesse to make them eat compared to the average red but not the same pull.

You like that Xi2, you should try an Xi3. If you make it to Houston you can try out my 9wt

Nice fish! ...on the fly makes 'em that much sweeter.
