Appearance
Walleye are typically dark olive and yellowish-gold in color with a white underbelly. In certain parts of Canada, they tend to have a more greenish-grey coloration. They possess a spiny dorsal fin and many sharp teeth, but its most distinguishing characteristic may be its marble-like eyes that reflect light, allowing them to hunt at night.
Maximum Size
Walleyes can grow to be over 35 inches (89 cm) and weigh up to the 20 pound (9 kg) range. The largest ever caught was 42 inches (106.7 cm) and weighed 25 pounds (11.3 kg), caught in Tennessee back in 1960.
