This one is a beautiful golden amber color! They eat live blue crab! They are not good for eating just for fun!”“I want to show people in the area how cool and big these fish get.”that this fish is a member of the croaker family and is related to the Atlantic croaker, red drum, and spotted seatrout.
“A characteristic of this family of fish is the ability to produce croaking or drumming sounds with the air bladder, which is the reason for the common names croaker and drum. This ability is most developed in the black drum and anglers can sometime hear sounds from schools passing near their boats,” the website continues.
