these two photos of me were taken by good friend Eric Reaves here's a link to his website ... 
Welcome to Eric’s easel he's a fantastic artist and better friend
If you really know me.... you know I've become obsessed with catching large Freshwater Drum on a flyrod with a flies we've designed ourselves. Until Jimbo( Duecker) caught this fish a couple of weeks ago I had landed the biggest Drum of our local group of flyfishing buddies, Eric Reaves, Daryl Wisser, Rich Halverson Dave Brenneman and Dave Bireline.... I have a cool video of him landing this fish that I may put up later. A lot of fisherman consider these a trash fish and for the life of me I don't know why? They live in the same places as smallmouth, eat the same stuff and really put a bend in the rod. They are really spooky and require a perfect presentation in order to make them eat your fly. They are everything I look for in a fish. I even think they are beautiful. My goal is to catch a river drum in the 20 pound range... so far about 8 pounds is my largest.... I saw two tailing fish last year that were at least twenty......

Jimbo is on a roll... he caught the largest trout of our group last year a 10 pound rainbow on a dry fly, now this drum.... he can flat out flyfish!!! was I ever jealous of this fish, but it was great to be there!! I was with him when he landed the trout last year also... maybe I'm good mojo for him?
Hey Jimbo... E sent me these photos of my big drum from last year... which one do you think is bigget/ mine was bigger than I remembered.... pretty close?
