Is there no weight citation for red drum? looked online and all i found was 80 pounds for black drum. It said length citation was 46 inches for both.

Yes, there is no weight citation for red drum. You can only keep puppy red drum anyways from 18-26 inches so what would be the point to see who could catch the heaviest 26 inch fish. The big boys all have to be released, thus you can only register a release citation.
