Insanely Fat Freshwater Drum Eats Anglers Trick Worm And Wins Him Fishing Contest

This week's #KarlsCatch contest goes to Max Swift who shared a giant freshwater drum caught by his fishing buddy to the Fishing Free For All Facebook group. The unexpected catch came while the guys were fishing the shore of a small lake while casting soft plastics for largemouth bass. Freshwater drum are opportunity feeders known to devour cut bait, chase crankbaits, and in this case, slurp up finesse worms intended to trick pond bass.
