In My opinion, they are Rough fish that are certainly No good for the Sport Fishery. I'd continue this practice until the Biologists (they do know everything, don't they) say they are "endangered" and we gotta quit doin' it !!
.....or kill 'em and use them for pike bait.
Fact is those suckers spawn and have little baby fish. Those baby fish and fingerlings and 1 and 2 year olds feed the bigger fish. In pike, perch, walleye lakes...white suckers are an important food for the predators.

Throwing any fish into the bush is a waste and does not demonstrate true sportsman values.

Suckers occupy a different niche that the sport fish in a natural system. Killing them is a poor practice.
