I think I tried sucker once. Tasted like carp but a little sweeter, which is better in my opinion. Lots of bones as already said. Any carp relative is going to have lots of sharp bones.
I have also heard of people making pickled suckers..I think I'll stick to eating other fish haha!
I really like catching perch like that from the Ramapo but there's less and less of them. People harvest them quite a bit. I release all of mine because those perch tend to have a bit of worms on them (blue dots on fins and skin). The perch in the picture was surprisingly clean though. The cleanest i've seen in a long time from this river.

Pretty sure I know your spot- def. some trout- but they get spooked by other fish sometimes..

Yea it's a somewhat popular spot. This year in the fall it didn't hold much trout though. In the spring there was way more action.

Too many bones for me though... bob

The bones will kill ya! Better tasting than carp for sure. But nothing beats catfish haha.
