Hockhockson Brook 4/17/12 - Sucker Sex!
Fished at the falls for about an hour during lunch, caught three brookies and a small pumpkinseed on a white Mr. Twister. All the while about a hundred suckers ranging from about 12 to 20 inches were going at it hot and heavy in the shallows. Their spawning habits appear to be very similar to striped bass; about half a dozen males would surround one of the larger females and bump into her, presumably to get her to release eggs.
So I can cross "witness a sucker orgy" off the bucket list.

But I won't be around at all, so don't even bother to call,
Cause on a day like today there's one place I gotta be:
