[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 397297, member: 367"] grilled up some small bullheads one time and just when they were getting done we got company and they scarfed em right down , I got a taste and thought they were ok. If I ever get into some bigger ones I'd do it again . We smoked a bunch of suckers when I was a kid and they turned out pretty darn good. Some of my dads drinking buddies took the tin off the outside of a big water heater and made a trap that resembled a minnow trap. They would harness it up with 2 ropes and roll it into the creek and then pull the ropes and roll it back out. Sometimes so full they had to use a pickup to pull it out. They showed up with two wash tubs full of suckers and the ol mad put me up to clean the slimy buggers. I think suckers produce more slime than northerns. I think the old time outlaws enjoyed the thrill more than the fish. I didn't get in on the thrill , I was low man on the totum pole and I didn't feel any joy I'd like to see trapping legal for non game fish but I doubt that would ever happen . When times get tough again and we have to hunt and fish for a living again you could feed a small village with one of those traps. [/QUOTE]
