What kind of drum is that....down here in Texas we have "Redfish" red drum in a lake close by to me. I was really surprised as I had only seen them in saltwater but they grow almost as big in fresh. What I was told was that they can't reproduce in fresh...not sure if that is correct, just what I had heard. I don't keep any myself, don't have tank big enough for one full grown.

Red Drum are different than freshwater drum, freshwater drum are entirely fresh. Red Drum get far bigger than freshwater as well. Someone posted a red drum on my FB that had 436 spots or so I think just on one side of its body, probably the best looking red I have ever saw.
