When you guys say drum, is that not really a carp?
I landed a 17 LB carp out of Beaver Lake mid 1990's, I was always taught to kill all carp big or small.
I gave it to my wife's dad who in turn gave it to a Latino friend of his who pressure cooked it and pickled it in mason jars with vinager salt pepper and catsup, but you know shit tasted good and had no bones after pressure cooking.
Anyone ever had carp pickled like this before ? or know how too?
