I used to boink suckers all the time, until a fisheries buddy of mine made a few simple points:

1. They keep the rivers cleaned up
2. They have "fry" also, and they are a food source for predator fis and mammals. Would you rather have a steelie smolt or a baby succker in the belly of a squawfish, walleye, mink, or racoon.

Leave em alone, kids don't care what they catch, and they are a great source of recreation for kids, old people, and guys struggling to get a steelie to bite. Oh by the way, they love chartruese yarn cut down to the size of a pea. Peace
