A Massive PB Fish Was Swimming In This Spillway (Summer Spillway Fishing)

[@ThatMexiicanGuy]

I love that spillway nice catch!!

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's a good spot! Thanks!

[@SluSharkND]

We have something in common: we will risk injury and worse to bring a fish in. Solidarity, Brother!

[@BackroadsAngling]

No fish left behind! Even if it is a slimy drum. Be careful out there!

[@rgdayo]

What a tank!! Huge belly on him from eating all those shad.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, definitely a few extra lbs for everything that was in his belly. Thanks!

[@DarrinOchsner]

That was one heck of a drum!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, I think it qualifies as a barn door. Thanks for watching!

[@PigPatrolTV]

That land job is on par with a lot of mine 😂

[@BackroadsAngling]

It would be too easy to just bring a net!

[@fishinwithschroeder]

What a drum! I caught a big one didnt weigh in Kansas.. great job retrieving that guy ..

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, they look pretty cool when they get that big. Without a net it's a real adventure to land them in this place. Thank you, and congrats on your big drum as well!

[@user-hh7si3ky2n]

Watching from Greenland! Great video!

[@BackroadsAngling]

@@user-hh7si3ky2n awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Dang! Thats the biggest drum Ive ever seen. Killer saves on the landing too!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, the biggest one I've seen as well. Time to buy a net I think!

[@timjohns191]

Tempting fate with abandon, like we all do, great stuff my friend!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes, tempting fate is a good way to describe my fishing style. Sometimes it bites me. Sometimes I get lucky! Thanks for watching!

[@cargillclumberd1]

Sweet gasperpoo hawg log! That thing was a pig!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, it was the biggest one I've ever seen in person. A true barn door drum.

[@jimmyg5636]

I sometimes use floats on fish in heavy current along the edge Sweet fish man

[@BackroadsAngling]

I've thought about putting on a bobber to keep it out of the snags below. I will try it in the future. Thanks!

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

At this point if you are saying its a massive PB, I know it has to be big, after all the whales you have pulled in. What a great drum and that hand to hand combat was intense. Very impressive.

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's dangerous to put PB in my title because most of my viewers are hoping it's a new wiper PB. I risk giving them a big let down when it is just a giant drum. But for me I thought it was one of the coolest fish I caught this year. Maybe next time I will bring a net to make it easier on myself - but probably not. I really appreciate you watching!

[@PhouvongBannavong]

One of my top favorite spot to fish is that spillway right there

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's a good spot!

[@FishingWithZach]

Nice catch man! That landing was stressful haha

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks! I keep telling myself I'm going to get a long armed net but I would only need it on days that I fish this spot. After a tough landing like this maybe it's worth it just to buy one!

[@FishingWithZach]

@@BackroadsAngling haha I've got a net and used it once. But there's been a lot of times I wished I brought it. One day I'll learn 🤣

[@KaisFishing]

Amazing fish! Congrats on the PB!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, I remember you caught a huge one last year or before. It must have been about this size or maybe even bigger.

[@rivercatch8216]

Freshwater drum can live up to 70 years!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Wow, that's amazing. I didn't know that - they must be one of the longest living freshwater fish.

[@rivercatch8216]

Makes you wonder how old that fish really was and how much longer it could live.

[@pirate_jared]

Golly I wish spillways were this empty around me.

[@BackroadsAngling]

I usually go early in the mornings to avoid the crowds.

[@Hugo07resendez]

Congratulations,it’s a good drum

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thank you!

[@BudgetBassbroFishing]

Love it!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks!

[@AGdaRiverRat]

DANG, thats a big DRUM

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes, a proper barn door.

[@TULUSRECORD]

Good brow❤❤❤

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thank you!

[@henrytran922]

Where at ?

[@Supertheman]

Where is this?

[@shaartvader4830]

Subtract the 8 lbs of shad in his belly...that fatty was eating well!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya I know. He was pooping all over the place because he was so stuffed. Thanks!
