Question
As a wee lad I went fishing in Va stream and on bottom could see big sucker fish (like algae eating but over a foot) even though we drop bait right in front of them they never to a bite , we had to jig snag them and they had big suction mouth, I heard people eat them we toss em back.
What were they?

Carp

My Kendo Sensei loved carp, which his wife Yuko could fix where the bones were edible. I used to spear fish for them in the Clackamas River for him.

Never ate a carp but love catching the big fkers.

Mrs Pute an I got the Shingles shot a couple years ago and low and behold she now has an outbreak on her lower back. Chalk up another vaccine that doesn't work. Frankly I am begiy to have less and less confidence in out health care system.

They came out with a new Shingles vaccine two or three years ago, which is the one we are current with.

They pressure cook them. I wouldn't eat it, but that's me.

They were delicious with the sauce she served over them.

I love fish but I stay away from bottom feeders. If in a clean lake ok but bottom feeders thrive in stagnant water. I will pass. No carp or catfish on my plate.

@ROOSTERMAN grass carp, common carp, buffalo??? I've used them for bait and fertilizer.

Been running the ice hash machine on trainwreck, diesel x c99 and a sourbubble. Looks like I got quite a few OZ's of hash. Once dried it's candy making time....

Just saw that I have mites on my okiedope wc. Frack me!!!! Time to break out the arsenal of poisons. What gets me...is where the he..ll did they come from??? Haven't had mites in 3 years...

Just started to lightly snow. Doesn't look like we will get much. darnet!!

I was speaking of a white sucker
The White Sucker is found across Pennsylvania. It is the most common and widely distributed Sucker in the state. Its natural range is from northern Canada to Florida, throughout the uplands of eastern North America, and west to the Plains region. It grows large enough to be sought by anglers, who usually fish for them during the white Sucker’s spring spawning run. The genus name “Catostomus” means “inferior mouth,” referring to the bottom position of the mouth on the head. The species name “commersonii” recognizes an early French naturalist, P. Commerson.

There are suppose to be good eating

We don't have them down here in chokelahoma. The carp here can get huge and are fun to catch when nothing else is biting. Use corn, bread and spinach.

I could see this happening at Boo's house

@ stain...I have had mites twice both times from gifted clones.

I like catching big fish on ultra light tackle. Give me a 8lb fish caught on a 3wt fly rod with 3 lb line in a stream or small river. The fish has the advantage. Even a 14" Rainbow is a challenge.

I don't fish for food....I fish for fun. If a fish breaks off it is just a long distance release.
