Got everything on the fly,.... yup, trip of a lifetime.....

Holy Moly!
Beautiful.
Wonder, what weight rod for that monster?
My one experience with a Black Drum reminded me of a slow moving, but very powerful locomotive. Confession, it wrapped me around a bridge piling and broke off.
Miss those gulf area flats and estuaries sometimes.

Wow that is some great catches. These are some fish on my bucket list as well. Not sure when I will make it happen but someday I am sure.
Again good to hear from you don't be a stranger.

That is awesome. Great fishing right there. Congrats on those beasts.

10’ 10wt. And a custom made fly the guide uses....

Mighty rod for a mighty fish.
