Fishing for Suckers in the Delaware River

In the Delaware river, the sucker has larger scales than those caught elsewhere. As a general rule, the sucker is not esteemed highly as a table fish, nor is there usually much sport in fishing them. They suck in the bait, and nibble at the hook. They are not very lively when pulled up and unless cooked immediately their flesh grows soft. In my view, the sucker doesn't have a lot to recommend it!
