Walleye
The Walleye, also known as the Yellow Perch or Yellow Pickerel, is a freshwater fish native to Canada and most of North America. The fish is called Walleye due to its opaque, reflective eyes which allow it to see in dark conditions. Walleyes grow to around 31 in (80 cm) in length, and weigh up to about 20 lb (9 kg). The maximum recorded size for the fish is 42 in (107 cm) in length and 29 lb (13 kg) in weight.
