There are still some northerns to catch on Town Lake (Ladybird).

My Grandfather and I used to catch them on Cypress Springs, I remember when there was not one house on that lake.
We would troll big ole hellbenders for them.
This was 35-40 years ago.

Never caught one in Texas. I did catch one in Arkansas on vacation last summer. I would like a guestimate on what yall think it weighed. I had a blast with this one. Our vacation was fun. Lake Hamilton Ar. (the property owner said that is the only fish he ever saw caught on the dock)

As a kid I remember seeing dead ones on the shore at lake lewisville when we camped there. Loooong time ago. They must have been stocked there at one time and obviously did not survive.

I remembered you could look up the stocking reports and my post made me think to look it up just now. Yep, confirmed I was not crazy. Stockings fell into the right timeline for when I remember seeing them. .

I used to live an hour from Lake Erie so I've caught plenty of Walleye....We used to fish in the Maumee river in the spring when they were running and wear them out....To this day that is the most people I have ever seen lined up fishing...2000 people elbow to elbow in the riffle areas and at least that many scattered out in every backwater or place you could get to the rivers edge to fish....It would be awesome if Texas had good Walleye fishing...

I am planning on trying for some today!

You so lucky!!!

The best tasting fish feeding on the second best tasting fish?
Gonna be some delicious.

my dad caught one in Ivie about 10-12 yrs ago...pulled it up and almost stuck his hand in its mouth but thankfully saw the teeth...didnt know what the heck it was till he remembered one of the biologist there saying they had stocked some in there at one time...don't ever know if it was cold enough for them so i dunno if you would ever catch anymore

Being from the Texas Panhandle I can say that Lake Meridith has walleye in it.I never heard of any large fish being taken but they are in there and the lake gets cold enough to support them

Somebody recently has caught a 3pounder because Bass Pro Shop in Rockwall has one in the tank that was not there my last couple of visits.

caught a 23"r last year... but not in texas... actually it was through the ice.

I catch them out of Meredith, greenbelt, Palo-Duro, and Mackenzie during this time of year every year. meredith is by far the best for catching big walleye. Last year my best was a little over 8lbs, this year so far is about a 4pounder. yes we have Walleye in Texas but mostly up in the Panhandle where it gets a lot colder in the winter.I will post some pics for you guys when I have more time. In fact Meredith holds the state record for walleye it was like 11.7 pounds and the state record smallmouth was almost 8lbs.

I caught two at Lake Sweetwater in 98'. I caught them from the bank.

Caught one at Lake Lavon 15 years ago.

Dad caught this one on our canoe trip in Minnesota last August. It was tasty!

15"r?

The lakes around Abilene have a lot of Saugeye, a hybrid walleye I think. Catch them on bass lures on occasion and they are a hoot...

Caught some today, they were in shallow weeds. There is a city lake here stocked. They taste BETTER than crappie if you can believe that.

Caught some last year at white river

I've been wondering about that. Did they reproduce or are there just humongous northerns still in there? I saw a reference that there are plenty of predators to keep the small carp in check in LBL. Would those northerns be them?
