After seeing the video and weighing all the evidence (not much), my evaluation is that we have little to fear from walleyes taking over Strawberry. In the absence of other walleye catches...and the apparent lack of young walleyes showing up...I'm guessing that the walleye was likely "bucketed" in as an adult and is not part of a growing and spawning population of that species.
Nevertheless, I suspect that DWR is going to be monitoring potential spawning tributaries in the spring for evidence of any other surviving adult walleyes.
The sky may not be falling after all.
