We recently spent one night in Algonquin Park preparing our kayaks, camping gear and cameras for the upcoming season.

Before leaving we had a chance to do a couple of hours of fishing for Shorthead and Silver Redhorse Suckers. The following contains a few minutes of outtake video from the trip.

Thanks for watching and please Subscribe as we will be uploading full length videos weekly starting May 28th, 2012

No..... they (SUCKERS) dont suck.

Great video!



I think that this year has shown more RESPECT for suckers than any other I have seen.

There have been lots of posts and action shown on the boards.



They truly deserve the accolades for their AWESOME SPRING RUNS.

A great fishing experience for all to enjoy.



I hope next year more FATHERS will introduce these wonderful fish to their children.

Thank you all. We are going back up this Friday for a week. Hope to have more action packed video as the catfish should be turned back on and the odd walleye may be caught on film also.

Beautiful fish. I have had trouble hooking up with suckers I see them roaming in the River, but I must try the rig you showed. Thanks for a awesome video. Good Luck this week, look forward to watching your next video.

Great vid....I on the other hand didnt have the same attitude with suckers last weekend lol. Sometimes I like them and sometimes I dont. Last weekend I was fishing a pool with tons of suckers and a decent amount steelhead. Once I found out it was a sucker I would just horse them out of the pool as hard as I could sometimes skating them on top of the water as to not spook the pool by fighting a sucker. I had no idea my 6lb leader was that strong, I was using 10lb mainline and 6lb fluro leader and I was just forcing these guys (3-5lb) out of the water without any fight at all! Made me think I could maybe size down my leader to 4 lb if I can rip on them that hard.

But certainly suckers do not suck lol those condom style lips put up quite the fight when you let them.
