im not saying kill them all but the populations should be less than what they are.. and as for them not competeing for food that is silly. most trout can be easily taken on many nymps which is a main staple for suckers and i have believe it or not i have caught 3 suckers on dry flies..... and by SOME of our sport fish arent native from all i can tell it would only be the brown trout....
