The recent messages on creek chubs as game fish were fun to read. I
recall fishing in Brush Creek in Southern Ohio when I was a kid of
about 15 and catching a large, beautiful male creek chub. I had been
catching fish like longear sunfish, rock bass and spotted bass with a
small spinner. I don't recall the fighting skills of the chub, but I
remember an older local gentleman calling down to me from a bridge he
had been watching me from. He said that I should keep it because
large chubs were good to eat. So I offered it to him, but he
declined.
