Walleye are one of the most popular types of fresh water fish, although, they might not be the most exciting to catch. They are definitely not known for their fighting ability, however, bigger walleye can put up a decent fight. Walleye aren't going to take the long runs that northern pike will and they aren't going to leap out of the water like smallmouth and largemouth bass. Most of the time, you will be fishing for walleye by vertical jigging or trolling, which most anglers agree that vertical jigging and trolling could be quite boring at times. With all of the negatives that I just mentioned, walleye are still so popular and they always will be. Most anglers enjoy eating fish and walleye are one of the best fresh water fish for the table and they are so easy to fillet.
I personally don't enjoy fishing for walleye nearly as much as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass or northern pike, but man do I love eating walleye. Walleye, unlike bass, are accepted among the fishing community as fish to eat. So, you don't have to feel bad about keeping a limit or walleye. Actually, you should feel quite good about catching a limit of walleye. Your stomach will be thank you, although you might need to do some cardio after a big fish fry.
If you are ready to start putting some of these fish in the boat, take a look at some of the popular vacation destinations for catching walleye.
