Yeah, they're pretty common up here as well in the illinois river, used to catch them all of the time trotlining as a kid & like Sofa said, they're considered trash fish & nuisances, they'd be killed & thrown out or given to us kids to ooh n ahh over.
Thinking my method will be simple topwater bobber fishing, using back hooked live bait, i'm planning to head south a few hundred miles for vacation this year & fish the mighty miss for them, i'll prolly have better luck getting decent sized ones than on the illinois river, this things choked up with these damned asian carp.
