I’m Gonna Git You, Sucker | S2E03 | B-Side Fishing

- At best, a sucker is a good muskie bait. At worst, it’s a fish most people don’t
even deem worthy of a nightcrawler. But Tyler Winter sees things differently.
While the rest of us stress over prime real estate for glam species like
walleye, bass, trout, Tyler enjoys equally hard fights in beautiful,
unpressured sucker spots across Minnesota. Joe Cermele joins him to figure
out if he’s the sucker for flying out to target these lowly river dwellers, or if
everyone else is a sucker for overlooking these tenacious native fish.

God I love Joe and B-Side SO MUCH. Probably the only current fishing show that makes an actual effort to chase the fish that other fishing shows don't care to. Every single time it's a totally unique trip and I'm obsessed.
Joe Cermele is life, Joe Cermele is love
Joe Cermele is laugh?
All hail joe
Joe Cermele is catching fish with your loved ones.
Tyler has been bringing light to natives for years! Lifelisters like myself know him. Targeting natives is the best. There are no trash fish, only trash anglers.
Big thing for me is if I'm going fishing for food I want healthy fish. Nearly every sucker I've caught (especially in summer heat) has had lumps or rashes or parasites. If I catch one this spring I'll probably keep it to see what it's like. Or if I actually catch something next time on the ice 🤦♂️
Love how much you focus on the environmental and conservation side of fishing, keep it up!!
Yes so beautiful river
Well played, B-Siders. Appreciate the respect for the native fish. I accidentally found a few spots to catch them on spey in Oregon rivers, big swings, big current, big awesome healthy native fish. Love it.
It would drive my dad nuts when I was a kid and we were at our local small mouth river when I was constantly trying to catch the red horses lol! But I could see them! And they were WAY harder to catch! So when I would finally hook one I had such a sense of accomplishment. Never understood back then why people would literally step over a fish to try to catch a fish and I still don’t haha. As far as my dad’s perspective went, we were fishing for our dinner and they were no good to eat, so that was understandable but I always wondered what they tasted like. It’s so refreshing to see shows like this highlighting the misfits of our aquatic world! Keep it up! To quote Blue Oyster Cult “Time to play B sides”!
Always quality. "Live free Kenosha Kid".
Did you see the Biden sticker?
Dare I say it... best Episode yet.
Thanks.
Love it! Showing some love for our rough fish. Next you need to sturgeon fish the St Croix.
Very nice! It does remind me of the quest for flyfishing for barbel on our streams in Western Europe, by myself my mates and flyfishing colleagues. It took some time to crack the fly code for them, but when we did start hooking them we never looked back. Hopefully this will develop into a well managed and protected fishery.
Oh yeah, charismatic and cool, the various specie of Redhorse have been a part of my angling life for over 60 years! Beautiful as well as wonderfully edible rounds out their excellent qualities. Great episode folks.
I am originally from Europe, and after moving to Canada I was surprised to learn that local anglers ignore this fish and often think it’s a trash fish or an invasive carp. I caught a few suckers using euro nymphing technique and really enjoyed the fight they put. A lot of fun. I called the American barbels as they are rather similar: feeding, body shape, enormous strength
This was a great episode! Love the more laid back atmosphere!
Yes great episode
Minesotta; We have 10,000 lakes
Manitoba; hold my beer
ON&QC - we ALL have 10000 lakes bruh
In The Tip of The Mitten (North Eastern lower Michigan)
The Spring Sucker run is The Rite of The Spring season for many Families...
Canned in quart Jars and then Fill the Shelves that were emptied during the last Winter,,,, We Call that Fish you Caught "Mullet" And everyone is Very Happy for the Battle we get when there is a 9to15 pounder on the Hook...
Thanks for the tip from Talkin Shit we will be into that weight for our next season
Underrated fish!! But fun to fish my kid had a good one reel up and he got supper hooked with them. Now all he want is to catch those Robust Redhorse
We gig them in the fall and winter , snag them in the spring, and catch them on a worm during those hot summer days. And I assure you when you score them and voat em in Andes red you wont find a better tasting freshwater fish !
In the South we call redhorse the Salmon of the South. It’s said Cherokee Indians would trade ten trout for one redhorse.
There’s a confluence of two big rivers I fish in the NC Mtns where you can still see the remnants of Indian fish camps lining the confluence and their fish traps in the rivers.
As a kid My Dad got me hooked on fishing by taking me to fish for Suckers and Fallfish in the spring, and to this day I still do it!
Meateater needs to do an episode on the massive resurgence of sturgeon fishing, and the success story that species has become
Two type of redhorse spawn in the creeks on my farm. They start trickling up in mid February and it peaks with huge biomasses of redhorse in the creeks. It’s an incredible sight. There’ll be so many redhorse it looks like you could walk across the creeks on their backs.
Redhorse will migrate over 10 miles to find a good spawning site. When they all show up in one spot it looks like a lot. Those streams often have above average bass fishing because smallmouth get fat on sucker fingerlings.
@Tyler Winter My place is 13 miles above the lake by the way the crow flies and that lake has incredible fishing of many species. Our state record freshwater striper came out of that lake. It doesn’t produce a lot of stripers but the ones it does produce are huge. State DNR calls the lake their golden child.
I inherited a set of S&P shakers that are in the shape and colour of red-horse suckers. Couldn't have been happier when I asked if I could have those babies and the mother-in-law said yes. She said she knew I'd want them because she thought they looked like rainbow trout. I was actually more interested in them because the short-heads are native to my home river, the Nith, in SW Ontario.
Mind blown.
The B Side is my favourite MeatEater program. Just good dirty fun.
Glad people are bringing attention to "rough fish".
I love fishing and enjoy watching your videos
Gotta love the cameo from the one and only Carf!
Guess I'm making a crap-ton of slinky weights this holiday break. Good stuff.
Bycatch on carp fly fishing is great too. When the water gets dark there is nothing like popping a 10lb channel cat or a healthy largemouth. Every now and then a school of crappie moves up on the flats
Worm fishing is always exciting. I love meateater series
Caught many suckers here in spring lake Ontario Canada all my life. Most are the very common white suckers but we do get quite a few red ones as well. Thanks for sharing this great video. Love and blessings!
The sucker run is a highly anticipated event here in Michigan. Especially in a town called Omer on the Rifle River. Whole place fills up.
Well done (as always). Im so glad to see the b side series episodes when they drop 🔥
Ive got that same Ego MONGO net.. and freaking love it..
Here in the great state of Oklahoma we put in late at night, crank a generator connected to some big old flood lights, and stick em with spears like a bunch of savages and eat them deep fried with some fry bread on the riverbank. Really good eating if you know what you're doing.
scale, fillet, rib, score, batter in corn meal and deep fry at 350 for 6 minutes. One of the best eating fish that swim. Come to MO, gig a mess and fry em up on the river bank around a camp fire. Doesn’t get any better!
Thanks for the recipe. How do you score them? Im going to try it. But I've never seen directions on the actual scoring. I know when you grind them the deep frying takes care of the bones. So I know it does work.
Nice looking fish UK angler so never seen these before :)
The greatest fishing show on earth.
Shout out from South africa 🇿🇦 really enjoying this epic adventures.
Right in my back yard! You should return in the winter when that big river freezes a few miles south of where you were and get on some sturgeon through the ice!
Really enjoying the B side fishing content. Keep up the good work Joe
I love fishing too
Sucker was common winter tablefare in the Ozarks. Typically canned during the spring spawn. Fried roe too
Great eating
Slinky weight how to was excellent . Very helpful ! 👍👍💯
Loved this !
Props. Land of 10,000+ lakes. And out on the croix.
Love the call back to “I’m gonna git you sucka!”
They are a beautiful fish and quite a challenge to catch got nothing but love for the suckers !
I still sight fish for these guys when it is a slow day I didn't realize how many types of suckers there are I'm gonna have to start paying attention from now on see if I can see a diff
"I got worms!" - Lloyd Christmas
This was a great episode 👍👍
Yes great episode indeed
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Lmao at everyone so triggered by the bumper sticker. Poor little snowflakes.
Love this show!!
Same as me
Having grown up fishing creeks in Southern WV I love chasing suckers, nightcrawlers, corn, and on occasion bucktail jigs have brought more than I could begin to guess to the bank. I honestly don't know what sucker species they were but they pull better than most trout and the biggest we caught were well over 20 inches and the heaviest we ever weighed tipped the scale at just over 8 pounds
It would have been fantastic if River Horse narrated this!!!
I love these
Best MeatEater host!
Super cool!
Its fun trying to catch the different species of Redhorse...I still need to catch the Greater, and River
B side really raising the bars.. Good vids bro..
Great video thanks for sharing.
I accidentally catch them with a carolina rigged nightcrawler on a 5/0 octopus circle hook fairly commonly. That being said that same set up has in my same spot catches large channel cats, goldeye/mooneye, red horse, carp, pike, small mouth bass, bullheads, snapping turtles, and believe it or not a couple zebra mussels and a couple clams larger than my hand.. Seeing mussels and clams clamped on a hook voluntarily just seems so strange.
Cool to see a video in my home waters! Pretty sure I recognized one of those spots from when I fished a lot back in high school. 👍
Sucker make a good Bengali curry. For these types of fish it's always good to look at other cultures who eat similar types of fish. Indian cuisine is full of dishes using bony freshwater fish.
Omg, we were just saying year but you can’t eat them as they are bottom feeders and Booom they are yummy! Who knew!
Everything in the river eats off the bottom. Don't tell people though because it would ruin it for them.
@@Hucho33 100%! I love finding new things that we can eat! That’s why I love this channel 🤗
This is a great series!
The Minnesota river was maybe the other place they went. It’s not spot busting cause the whole river looks like where they are lol. Great hunting and fishing within an hour of Minneapolis are offered on that river.
Love it
Love these B-side videos. But does anyone else have to turn up the volume to listen to Joe talk and then immediately turn it down because the music is way to loud?

Do more episodes in Minnesota
Fish suckers every March during the spawn. Half a night crawler on a Carolina rig
Well the talking shit part was awesome as always
Fish tacos sound yummy 😋.
NZ crew checking in
That title..... *chef's kiss*
Good Show...
My guy Joe 🤘🏻
Don't get me wrong I understand and respect that suckers are an important native fish. In california we have sacramento suckers which are also despised. They do indeed have a role in the ecosystem and they actually do fight pretty good but with that said I'm not gonna travel out of my way for a sucka. A trout, salmon or striper will do
Score cornmeal and deep fry wins over trying to remove bones you then eat it bones and all the frying takes care of da bones
cook Sucker in a pressure cooker and they taste just like Tuna Fish , meat falls off of the bone
By catch smallmouth? That is really funny.
Worms are the best bait for all species i dont care what ya tell me
I've caught more redhorse than I can count deadsticking for smallies on the Mississippi in central MN. I still won't be thrilled to catch them but maybe I'll have a bit more appreciation for them. I tell you though, you're gonna wear out your welcome if you keep talking about walleye like that! And the lazy fight of a redhorse can't even remotely match the fun of a big bluegill, get out of town! :-P
Thanks. All I really ask is that people don't hate them. And seriously, big smalllies and redhorse go together like peanut butter and jelly. In clear water you can watch bass following redhorse looking for crayfish the suckers scare out.
@@Hucho33 Naw, I won't hate on them anymore. Heck, might even try frying one up next time I get one. But between you and I, the stretch below the St. Cloud dam and Clearwater has some monster redhorse. Water isn't clear enough to see them, but a nightcrawler on a lindy rig on the bottom, on the edge of the current will land you some quality fish.
How do suckers taste? The Amish recipe around here is sucker-salad-sandwiches ferda boys.
Mild, white and flaky. Not unlike panfish or walleye or pike, just have to deal with the extra bones
@@tonyschollmeier5604 lol it was a rhetorical question. Mix em up with mayo and lime juice and S&P and they taste great!
Have a small sucking fish in a fish tank at the moment. Going to find it a friend and get a big pond for them. Great content
Yes great episode
Sorry I missed where they are at . Can a fan of this channel tell me ( it’s too hard with my reception to replay)
Beer can island
I saw what you did, with that Title 😎🤘
Scalp the suckers and cut the fillet to the skin ever 1/4” and fry
Idk if I trust a guy that still has a Biden/Harris sticker on his car…Let’s Go Brandon!!!!
I guess he likes suckers!
Came to the comments to see if anyone else caught that
Hes a biologist in Minnesota, in Stillwater. A Sleepy Joe sticker is practically required for that demographic. I cant believe a senile old man and a giggling ideot were elected into office either but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go fish with the guy.
@@joef.2908 yeah man I was just talking shit @lanekiffin. I’ll go fishing with a commie, I don’t hate people because of politics.
@@joef.2908 for biologists or naturalists like him and myself, a lot of the time our voting comes down to who we think is going to do better for the environment and help protect the species we love. Unfortunately with this past election, there wasn't a very clear option so we just went with the party that traditionally does better for the environment. Biden also said he'd do better environmentally, which was mostly a lie, but you can't blame biologists, ecologists, etc for choosing this way.
Hey joe I got the red horse walleye and catfish spot in my back yard just west of Stillwater open invite.
Can yall make a video on catching common sunfish?
I just watched that movie. Hahahahaha
Redhorse fighting pound for pound put Walleye to shame. I fished Canada and Wisconsin and after you catch enough Walleye to eat target the Suckers. Same goes for the Kern River and trout and suckers. Even harder fighting than trout or suckers are the Squawfish now politically correct pike minnows. Itsblike hooking a torpedo!
I have a sucker recipe that you'd think it wasn't fish if you ate it
I'm always looking for sucker recipes.
👍🏽👍🏽
Just shush about the "rough" fish thing. I have the river all to myself.
How does one aquire a dengernate angler sticker?
Lost me on the Biden sticker on the trunk of his car
Where can i get a bob 3:16 sticker
