Hooked a big drum thru the eye once while fishing Anuhuac Channel. I didn't weigh or measure, but it was too big for the net. Also, it didn't put up much of a fight because of the eye hook.
Caught a few black tips inside the jettys that went 5ft easy...hell of a fight. Again, no weight.

I don't know how much it weighed, or it's exact length but it was a huge Bull Red. It was back in the early 90s and no one had a good camera. I was hold it up with one hand in each gill plate and my hands were even with my shoulders. I'm not a tall guy 5'6" but his fishes tail was curled on the ground as I held it. It was well over 60 inches. I've not caught too many fish offshore as big as this beast.Leave a comment:

I caught a 50#+(it broke my cheap scale) black drum from the bank on a curado with 12# test. I was out with the step daughter about 5 years ago before my little one was born.Leave a comment:

Inshore? How heavy is a 47 inch bull red? I haven't weighed a fish since all the limits came out. Then there was the 5 foot blacktip, but I didn't weigh that either. I did eat it, and after that I weighed more.
Offshore? 205 lb. yellowfin tuna back in 1992. I think I have muscles that are STILL sore from that.Leave a comment:

What's the heaviest fish you've caught INSHORE
Meaning inside the Jetties!!
Heaviest fish caught on the Robalo was a 70LB Black Drum caught in the Ship Channel.
Heaviest fish I've caught would also be a Black Drum at 60LB caught that same day. I've yet to have anything break the 70LB mark on the boat inshore.
Hopeful that it will happen soon though
I didn't.....It is the heaviest fish I have ever caught inshore and I have never been offshore.
