message: I realize in parts of Canada the term pickerel is used to refer to walleye, but this is regional and against more common usage. Pickerel is itself a genus of fish (Esox) that includes the chain pickerel, grass pickerel, redfin pickerel, the pikes, muskie, etc. The use of the term to refer to walleye came from a lack of understanding about taxonomy, probably because of superficial similarities to true pickerel. Walleye are actually in the genus sander of the perch family, and have no close relation to pickerel.
It wouldn't be so confusing to link a locally used term to walleye if it did not first have a more broadly accepted definition (any fish guide including the Audobon field guide identifies the genus esox as the pickerels). For example, if they referred to walleye in Ontario as "bendiebellies" or something that has no other definition I wouldn't see a problem with linking it to walleye. However, when someone wants to look up the pickerel genus they should be redirected to the correct article and not to an unrelated fish that incorrectly uses the term in some localities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.0.30.75 (talk) 18:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: there is no discussion or mention of the hybrid Saugeye. the cross between a female walleye and male suager. many midwestern states in the U.S have developed stocking programs in alot of there lakes and rivers. Ohio was at the forefront of the Saugeye movement in the early 1980's. stocking there inland lakes with the saugeye in order to provide anglers with a new species to challenge them. this hybrid adapts well to waters that normally wouldnt sustain productive walleye populations. they grow to comparable sizes to the walleye and are an extremely aggressive fish, though some saugeyes do reproduce they are generally sterile. with only a small percentage of the hybrid actually spawning. they will eat the same baits as a walleye and or sauger and can be caught using the same tactics. the Walleye in Ohio is probably at the top of the list as far as popularity among fishermen with the Smallmouth bass running right there with it. However aside from lake Erie and its major tributaries and the Ohio and Muskingum Rivers there really arent many inland lakes that hold large populations of Walleye, therefore the vigorous stocking of the Saugeye in the inland waterways just talk to any inland angler in Ohio and chances are they are targeting the Saugeye.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.107.90 (talk) 22:47, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "quite palitable"?  Walleye is the most prized of the lake fish and has a very fine flavor and texture, not oily or "fishy", it is probably the best fish I have personally ever tasted. DonPMitchell (talk) 18:50, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The article on the Eurasian Zander (Sander lucioperca) notes, "It strongly resembles, both in looks and in taste, the closely related American walleye (Sander vitreus). I'm no ichthyologist, but this would seem relevant. Sca (talk) 16:18, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Difference between Male & Female 

message: Something's messed up in the first sentence of this section. It currently reads: "Walleyes grow to about 80 cm (31 in) in length, and weigh up to about 9 kg (20 lb). The maximum recorded size for the fish is 107 cm (42 in) in length and 1.3 kilograms (2.9 lb) in weight." I'm guessing the weight of the record fish was 13 kilograms, but don't know for sure.
