I caught a few of these in the Rio Grande river, never seen anything like this, someone said it was a whitebass but I've caught a bunch of those and this isn't one. This one is about 8" but I did catch one about 14" they are fun on light tackle but not knowing what they were I turned them back.

Drum... I catch them occasionally while bass fishing. They will strike a crankbait or jig. Strong fighters, some guys eat them. I have never eaten one.
 
Yep, drum. They're getting pretty populous in the RG valley. We've caught a few in Caballo. Dad caught a big sucker earlier this summer.
