Those are rock bass (black sea bass) V, about the best eatin' critters in the sea. I talked with Chester Reese yesterday, he's doing well, catching a lot of fish and planning on running for a City Commission spot (bless his heart).
If yours is half as good to eat he's fabulous. The world record is over 10 but ours normally only get to 3 or 4 pounds. They're easy to catch too, it's a great fish for kids and novices, especially using circle hooks, just drop a bait and reel 'em up.
Downed a big dead laurel oak this morning, then the bride and I snorkeled around and picked up some scallops this afternoon. We shucked 'em on the boat and ate our fill raw, just about to put some of the rest in the pan right now. As good as it gets in my book.
One 27" upper slot red drum, one 24", 4 keeper black drum.lots of croaker and crab for the heck of it.....no shark bite was good considering we were at ground zero....oak island nc.
Went back and scooped some more scallops this morning, my wife dearly loves gettin' 'em. I just about have to pry her out of the water and she's also very good at it. I like it a little too, especially the eating part!
