the best place in the world, to get your line streched and broken by big drum. is in the head waters of lake Cumberland. in the spring they gather up there by the thousands. when you troll over top of them in the boat you can hear them grunt like big hogs. go up the lake until the water starts getting swift and fish around the gaint boulders. rig your line with a good size slip sinker and two crawdads on a hook tail to tail, and hold on. I haven't done this in a long time. since I started fishing for striper, I haven't fished for drum. but drum fishing in the head waters of Cumberland, was something that I looked foward to every spring. and I love to catch them, and the smaller ones are good to eat.
