primarily white suckers here but do have one spot where the red fins run.

What do you all do with them?

Used to go every spring and net a few burlap bags full and freeze for bait for fall trapping.
Fun snagging them too,especially the big redhorse suckers.
Good bait if your a mink trapper.Might be good for coon too-cant say-no coon here.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Smaller ones make great big pike bait for under a bobber.

I've never ate them but I used to fish for them back when I was younger. Might have to try it again now that I can't go out in my boat right now.
