I know Walleye are stocked in many N Texas lakes. But have only heard of one being caught. Has anyone ever seen one here?

I've caught 2, my buddy caught one fishing with me, and several over the years. The 3 I personally have seen came from White River, and he's caught a fair # out of Meredith and Greenbelt.

Used to catch some in OC Fisher (aka North Concho) near San Angelo. They were stocked there back in the 70's and got up to about 3-4 lbs in size. Good fighters and great eating. Never reproduced and with the lake going down think they were fished/died out. Never heard of anyone catching them last few years I was back there.

Caught 2 on Belton years ago. I don't think there any left now and they only stock it once. I ate some in Canada and they sure are good eating fish

I saw my Dad Catch one in Bridgeport once and Eagle Mountain once when I was a kid. He died in 1985 so it was over 24 years ago when they were caught. Probably 82-83

They stocked them in LBJ in the '70's. Said they would/could not reproduce. Every once in a while, somone catches one. Guess they are really old huh?
