Adults occur in deep, open pools and channels of turbid, lowland rivers; small lakes and impoundments (Ref. 5723, 10294). They feed on surface and aquatic insects, crustaceans, mollusks, small fishes, frogs, shrew, and mice (Ref. 10294). Mature individuals migrate upstream in the spring to spawn and feed. Moves downstream in the fall. Mainly nocturnal. Preyed upon by birds, some mammals, and other fishes. Marketed smoked.
