taste like chicken

Lets see here,

1. walleye tastes better than any sandbass could ever hope to....

2. Lewisville is loaded plum full of jackazzes of every shape size, and funding level..... many of which are absolutely clueless as to how to operate a boat in any sort of legal (let alone curteous...) manner

... and Texans are calling out the Oklahoma guys?

I think the fact that the odds of catching an underwater kite are better than that of catching a walleye is sufficient data for me....



I dont get it. I was born and raised here.

In 1972, 73, 74 there were 1,087,800 Walleye stocked in Lewisville. There was also 2,150,090 Walleye stocked in Eagle Mountain in 1975. I really don't think the texas fish and parks would have stocked the lakes with a fish they didn't think would survive. Just my 2 cents worth now is all.

but they stopped stocking for some reason. probably didn't survive.

I just sent off and e-mail to the parks and wildlife to find out the real reason as to why. Will let everyone know when I get the answer back.

Most of the north texas lakes were stocked with them in the 70's and early 80's. The original stock grew and lived well, but the conditions in most of the lakes around here aren't right for them to reproduce. Thats why they never caught on. They are a difficult fish to farm raise for high numbers of stockers, so the stopped the stocking program in the lakes where they couldn't reproduce.

there's nothing like taking a pic of a big green trash fish next to a filet knife i kill everyone that is legal...just like tony the tiger say's they'r greatttt it's kind of strange...why would everyone say basser's are arrogant and selfish.....jmo

They stocked just about everything back in the 70's, and most of it died. They were testing the waters to see what would survive.

They stopped stocking them because they weren't able to survive and reproduce on their own. Lewisville is too warm, muddy, and shallow for Walleye.

Bass don't cause no problems, Yanks do!

according to your hillbilly sounding post, Bass do cause problems! you ever heard of a double negative?

I guess most of the locals I see on Lewisville must be yanks then.

Good thinking, Mr Insightful.

And like the other guy, I fillet just about every black bass I catch. They taste tons better than sandies, but back to the point, not as good as crappie or of course, walleye...

Well, can't say I ever caught a walleye but I ate plenty of them when I was a kid in Indiana. Uncle Bill flew to some place in Canada every year and brought back enough walleye to have a big family fish fry. Those Canadian walleye were mighty tasty fish.

Used to keep bass (used to keep about everything I caught to keep the freezer full). Bass taste alright but I like channel catfish first, then crappie, then sand bass, then bluegill as far as taste goes.

The problem now a days is that our waters are so polluted that none of the fish taste like they used to. And that goes for most of the beef, poultry, and ham. Everything that is raised to eat if full of steroids and water injected and grain fed. It's all so bland now a days.

That's tough to take, calling Walleye Pike trash. My dad used to go to Canada with my granddad and friends at least once a year walleye fishing and he used to tell me great stories of cooking walleye they caught that morning for lunch over a wood fire on an island in the lake they were on...

They fight like heck, have teeth, and taste better than just about any fish I have eaten... They are not trash...


..and there is no way there are any in Lewisville.

Pretty sure that the Peacock bass ate all of the walleye in Lewisville in the early 80's. Then this dude found the peacock hotspot up in Cottonwood creek and cleared em out one afternoon. The rest is history

I know right where that sand bar is in Cottonwood......we used to noodle SAL's from the edges of that sandbar during spawn. Once, my buddy had a 16lber that ate his arm off.

Apparently a lot of you guys haven't ate walleye before!!

Okie

We got a small walleye in the cast net about 5 years ago on Lewisville. Only one I've ever seen there.

could that have been a log perch...very easy mistake to make..

Most of which have moved here from other states and don't know what they are talking about. Native Texans such as myself know that OK is great fishing.

You got that one solved 100%. I just got me E-mail back from the TFWD and it is exactly what you said about the stocking. They never did give me the exact water problem but said that due to the water quality the fish did not survive very well. So they stopped the stocking program in North Texas.

We caught one in Ray Hubbard back in the late 70s while trolling for sand bass along the I-30 riprap. None of us had any clue what it was, but one of the guys was from Canada and he ID'd it correctly. Only one I ever saw caught out of there but I'm sure they're were plenty caught before they died out.

Sweet.

I caught a large walleye on Texoma while night fishing (while casting a fliptail flirt) for striper some years back.

I believe you have found my walleye, sir. I stand corrected and informed.

Caught a 5 lb on Lale Palestine in the mid 1980's.
Very good eating.
