CATCH N’ COOK Sucker Fish! 

Don’t worry about what others say! Keep up the good work man. Enjoy your videos!

Don’t give up on those suckers yet, man! I’ve been eating them for years. We gig them during the winter and have a fish fry in the bank. 1. Scrape all the scales off 2. Filet the fish; leave the skin on 3. Score the fish every 1/8” by cutting to but not through the skin. This allows those bones to cook down in the fryer 4. Bread the filets in cornmeal or fish fry of your choice 5. Deep fry at 350 for a few minutes 6. Remove the fish and add salt and pepper 7. Enjoy with ketchup, hot sauce, or any other sauce Let me know why you think. I can send a few pictures if it’ll help :) Enjoy!

I like the idea! I’ve only caught a few suckers before (white suckers in one of my local streams in NJ). I don’t target them much, but I know they like worms.

try it with corn meal and milk i been eating them for 60 yrs scrape the scales. Filet the fish. but leave the skin on cut the meat part of the filet but dont go thru the skin, the bones basically cooks down or comes very brittle, bones are no problem we use to call sucker poor man's walleye

I've been waiting for a video lol. Can't wait to watch this!

Love the background scenery. Nice change from Michigan.

I love your videos man!!!!

Bro, those are pretty good to eat. You need to fillet, cut the ribs out and then leave the skin on and then slice the meat every 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch all the way down the fillet to cut all the small bones up. You slice just to the skin and the skin keeps everything together. Then bread in cornmeal or corn starch and fry in oil. I catch those here in co and eat them occasionally... They're really not bad. The bones, once cut up like that cook soft like the bones in canned salmon, you just eat them. Scale them as well. Alternatively, i suppose you might be able to skin them, leave them whole but clean the guts out. And then slice down into the ribs and backbone would work as well i think. After you cook it, you can then make fish cakes out of it and re-fry it...

Love your videos!! Man I'd like to go there trout fishing!! Tite lines brother!!

The frantic seconds before and after you roped that thing was smegal off lord the rings!

Finally watched all of your videos! Awesome stuff man! You should hit the uintas sometime! We were at mill hollow yesterday and lost count of how many we stocker bows we caught, I got one small Brookie but it was a beaut and like 2 tiger.

Man your locations are awesome bro 😎🤙

Cooked trout and suckers together without telling anyone. Friends ate all of them and didnt know the difference. Best tasting is a Rocky mountain whitefish.

Tossing big boulders into the school works too.

"I'll see you on the other side" - 'squash' I died laughing. Dude this content is good. I don't know much about fishing but this is really entertaining. Also, did I see you driving down Mapleton the other day haha?

Nice see you again..broth..

Hey! What state/area or mountain range you fishing in? Looks amazing!

So much sucker... haha nice job, man. I feel you on the GoPro issues. I am constantly battling mine with freezing and losing clips. It's just bad software :( They could fix it, but why bother when they're the biggest name in town, ya know?

Reminds me of the guy from lord of the rings chasing fish 😄 great video

Great Video man! I have some goodies coming for you soon

so fun!

I really enjoy catching Carp. We took one home last year and smoked it.. It really wasn’t bad. Maybe different sucker fish taste different. Try one smoked

Love the vids man. Please make sure you wet your hands before handling trout, we gotta protect their slime coating if we aren't keeping them!

Omg! We gotta be brothers from another mother! I've totally done that haha!

I think the flesh is really mushy because they are spawning. And it will have little to no flavor. I watched another video of a fisherman fry common sucker and he said it was tasty.

The game warden in the bushes watching this guy with binoculars 😂

Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do😂

They are all over our creek here at home. Will be spawning soon. Might be better making fish cakes. I have never cooked one, but may have to try it. Good video my guy

Interesting, I didn't know that stuff about the suckers. Wish I knew where to go to fish here but I just dont

Nasty. You get bravery points for eating a swimming vacuum.

I just caught some bass, I have always wondered about Sucker Fish

Cutting through the rib cage is a real mistake. I had sucker for the second time tonight and it was delicious. Fillet the proper way, dip in egg and bread crumbs, fry in oil with some pepper and salt and we had a fine meal. There are some small bones, but nothing to worry about. Lemon pepper is like steak sauce--completely unnecessary if you know how to cook!

In the spring run in Michigan some people catch sucker and mash them into patties. They're deep fried, never tried it, doesn't sound appealing but would probably try it.

I’ve moved to Utah and I want to trout fish. You should take me fishing haha I also make content.

You overcooked the sucker. That's why it crumbled. Also you don't filet a sucker or carp. Suckers are carp and cooked the proper way they are delicious.

I see you have an old school ugly stik lite??? I have 1 that i love and its my favorite rod out of the 45 i own. Great choice

Filleting in dirt? 😂

first off you been gone for about 10 day and alll you can catch a is succer fish, man you better stick with gold trout.LOL i thought you had run off with ome of the farm girls..LOl but just keeep up with the trout, im going for some tigers at Red Creek my self in the morning.. have a good on, and i'll be back for more videos.

It looks like a Barbel which we have in the UK

I do the same thing when I catch them.

I'd never eat a sucker. Nice video.

Compound bow and fiberglass arrow is real good fishing gear for suckers...

I caught a 2 foot one of those out of a certain lake that is close by 😉 through the ice a few years back. Hard fighting fish!

I’m thinkin maybe they wasn’t cooked long enough”all” fish will have that texture if not cooked long enough”I’m sure you know” I digress….lol….they are fine eatin to a lot of people tho I promise,maybe just not your thing Buddy…livin your passsion for fishin,I’ve subscribed and will be watching….later buddy

I'm from ut is that creak near strawberry or in the Ashley national forest near uintah county

I NEVER kill anything I won't eat

i know exactly what you mean by the texture of applesauce i love surf perch fishing but i never keep them because they have that same texture just mushy and weird

You ever get bit by shivers?

When are you doing more bass fishing videos

Snag one

No suckers! Thanks for trying

Red worms that’s what we use

You probably should have tried live worms but at least you got a little exercise.

There is millions of suckers in the pond in my yard

Too bad sucker fish suck so bad! But it sure looked delicious in the frying pan!

You should keep some suckers and fille them and use there meat as bait for ice fishing or normal fishing

I would have flipped a rock over and found a worm you would have caught a sucker fast

If you’re going to save a fish to eat you probably shouldn’t lay it on a hot rock in the meantime. Beyond that bring some sort of cutting board or a surface to clean the fish not in the dirt.

Can we fish together next time I’m out in Utah?

Where are you fishing at?

What's your name ? Just wondering

Suckers do take a little know-how, and they’re great table fare too…even when you gotta remind some certain people that you’re not chasing “the other white meat”……

Awesome!

I think he caught a Pokémon

Guys, guys, guys

2024 Version?

Just caught my first sucker while jigging for walleye probably just gonna smoke it

we use to bow hunt those suckers smoke em but they do suck to eat even smoked

Don’t forget we’re invasive species too. Morals and ethics teach not killing an animal unless you are to use it.

This what I did when I was little

catch them like a bear man get dj action camera

All the people saying that are just plain suckers. LOL, just saying. On a serious note, I do like the taste of the sucker species. Just don't enjoy eating them cause of the bones.

Canning is best

Drift a weightless crawler

Why would suckers not be good for the ecosystem? Are they invasive there? I can’t imagine that being the case.

Not many left sadly, every sucker i catch i release.

instead of getting water why didnt u just throw a rock?

I realize I am late to the party but you need some education. Suckers ARE NOT AN INVASIVE SPECIES, do not compete with trout. Do not eat their eggs. Are found in most North American waters. Are important to the ecosystem. Like catfish, carp, gar, bowfins are misunderstood and part of natures cleanup crew.

Grab a big rock and squish it

You need to get a spear and snorkel so you can spear them

You learn this hand method watching Katmai grizzlies hehe!?

i caught at least a 10lb sucker out of a river i fish at

To all those people out there whom he is referring to, read the fishing regulations for the state and TRY TO EDUCATE YOURSELF FOLKS !!!!!!! U KNOW WHO U R !!!!!!!!!

So, I was cutting up sucker meat years ago to use for Lakers through the ice. Being from Alaska I thought the filets looked like pacific cod, so I skinned a filets and breaded then air fried it. Turned out, it was actually fantastic!

Should’ve used the trout guts for bait to catch the suckers

In Oregon you would get a ticket for molesting the fish

Just an education. The suckers you killed are native to the Western US. They are not invasive. The species that are spawning are longnose suckers and prepared properly are amazing eating.

Trout will come around those suckers when they are spawning to feed on the sucker eggs.

You threw the best part away, you should have cooked the eggs

Thank God you killed those sucker fish. They suck up all the game fish

I'm sorry but i can't even finish watching because of the ('oh my god! oh my god! oh my god, you guys!!!') overdramatized acting when you see something or get a bite.. I think you would be more successful on RU-vid if you just kept it real, unless your target audience is literally 10-12 year olds.. I seriously mean that as constructive criticism. And the first sucker you caught is perfect size for eating and the second you caught is not 6 lb. Maybe 2 lbs.

Too hyper. Relax a bit.

It is how much kikigram?
