Jigging for fluke caught this instead, never caught one before but looks like a black Drum, is it rare to catch these in the bay?

Can't see the pic, however, it is not uncommon to get black drum in the bay. Dad hooked one last year, and there was one posted on Lacey Marine's Facebook page a week or two ago

Same here with the picture. We go a nice one in the Toms River off a dock a few years back.

Hi Joe, my pic is clear, I’m not sure why it blurred up and doesn’t expand when you click it, thought I followed the instructions right. 11 lbs and made my day on a slow day

Nice surprise catch! Did you keep the fish and eat it? I've never tried Drum before.
