If Sucker's taste better than Crappie, how do you target and catch them and how do you clean them and cook them?  I've never caught one and I've never eaten one.

Gig, score, fry!

Well when I accept the check for the 800 million lump sum payout I am gonna dress up in full hillbilly regalia to accept it.  I will however buy a brand new pair of hickory striped bib over all to cut off into shorts.  (My all time favorite summertime fishing outfit).  Gotta admit that I didn't even know how to buy a lottery ticket, but I handed them $5 and they handed me 2 tickets and a dollar back.

A local pub bought 1000 tickets.  Everyone in the place when they draw the numbers gets a cut if they win.

Heck that's worth having a burger and a beer for, no ?

Take Little Worm on J Hook fish on the Bottom.

Take scale them, fillet them, score them cutting across the Bones. Coat them with Corn Meal, Salt and Pepper making sure get mix in between each cut. Deep fry hot.

My Son went with me Sucker fishing. I fixed them. Now Suckers are all he wants to fish for. They have to be the BEST Eating fish there is.

Oh it don't bother me being called a Hillbilly. My Father in Law thought I was going to kill his Daughter and Grandkids feeding them plants I found around. Like my wife says if it moves its Food.

Was raised growing crops in rocks. Didn't know there was seasons on animals. Use to wade Sac River naked checking Limb Lines. Get on some sights for Homesteaders, their always talking about digging Post Holes  for Wood Post, I built many miles of Fence with Wood Post never dug a hole. Punch a hole with Rock Bar, set Post in, then drive it in with a Maul, use Rocks to make Corner Post. Burn the place off each Spring, for New Growth for Pasture. Milked Cows by hand.

We lived with no running water, outhouse, no Electric and no Phone. Caught Rain water for our water. We was actually told we could not live that way.

Was down in Springfield, just off Glenstone visiting our Son. Our Daughter drove up, asked me what I was doing? Oh I'm cleaning a Road Kill Turkey. Dang Hillbilly with Hillbilly ways!

Nuthin wrong with living in a shack....as long as it's clean and the weeds ain't armpit high.  I only lose respect when the place is filthy and there's 14 unfinished projects laying about.  

I could be happy as a clam in a 30x30 box with a few windows.   The kids prolly wouldn't visit very often, but that ain't all bad either

After the tornado I rebuilt my shop first and lived in it until the house was done.  Slept on a air mattress, cooked on a coleman stove, showered at night with a garden hose and crapped in a bucket for 7 months.      Hell it was fun!

Just what kind of payments are you referring to Quillback .???

Joking around.  But, if there is some government program that sends a check to those who can claim hillbilly ancestry, I want in on it.

Old plug you crack me the hell up. I'd love to video you sitting around a campfire telling stories.

 

Well that would be nice. I must forewarn you however to keep the fire small and upwind from me. I tend to produce a lot of methane.
