If it looked like this is a Texas Log perch. I have caught several the last few years in the cast net at Benbrook. I contacted TPW a few years ago hoping they were a protected species, hoping it would stop the 7-12 drops in the lake each year from them pumping water out.but no such luck.

No walleye left in Weatherford. The first population survived but the conditions are not right for them to reproduce. The originial population died off a long time ago.

A few months back my neighbors son brought a fish to my house he caught in Bear Creek a mile or so from benbrook (We live in a subdivision that backs up to Bear Creek). We normally will catch a lot of bass, perch, catfish in there when it's running. It MOST definitely was a Walleye! teeth and all, I have pics to prove it. The fish was about 9 inches long and had the exact same coloring as a walleye. Log perch don't have long sharp teeth similar to a speckled trout... I know in the stocking history for Lake Benbrook on the TPWD website, It said they had stocked walleye in Benbrook in the '70's, apparently they are still there and spawning...... Good to know!

I caught about 2 lb Walleye on Grapevine long time ago
I used to target them on Lewisville around the old party cove by the 35 bridge, never caught one. Knew a few guys who caught them back in the day........

The walleye are able to survive the warmer temps around here, the problem is many of the lakes don't have the Rocky structure and cool enough water for them to reproduce. Temps have to get down to the mid to low 40s for a successful walleye spawn with lots of rock structure. Saugeye would probably make it around here but I bet the stocking programs would cost too much.

Ive seen small gar in the back of Bear creek when the water is clear and full, but not many and never seen any rise anywhere in the lake.
