We have a lot of suckers in the Stones River spawning in the spring with the white bass. People used to snag them and use galvanized tubs with the bottom cut out so you can reach in and catch them with their hands. Most people pressure cook them like salmon patties. I caught one a few years ago and cleaned and ate it. It was really good fish but boy was it boney. That is why most pressure cook them. It used to be a big thing, canning suckers in glass jars.
