I was looking at a list of fish in one of our local ponds, and came across one called a Walleye Pike, what the heck is a Walleye Pike?

Next to bass, I would say that this is the number 2 American game fish. Google "walleye pike" and you will see what they look like and how to fish for them. They are rated as one of the best fresh water eating fish we have in America although there is some resistance to that notion from trout fisherman from the great northwest or the salmon fishermen from wherever they may be. Walleye tournament fishing is big north of the Mason Dixon line because their bass don't grow as big as in the south. Lake Erie is famous for walleyes. My nephew is a professional walleye fisherman in the midwest and you can actually make a living fishing for them. They aren't known as great top water fighters (they tend to like to head for the bottom and pull kind of like an overshoe full of cement). In a blind taste test, we once had a cook off between walleye pike, red snapper and grouper to see which people thought was better. The walleye won hands down... go figure! All tasted very similar. They are sure worth catching and might even be in a lake near you... give 'em a try.
