There is at least one underwater video on YouTube that appears to show a walleye in Strawberry. It didn't get much attention until this confirmed catch.
The future is all just speculation. We don't know how many walleye were introduced, what sex, how old, or if they will successfully reproduce. All of that is out of our hands as simple fishermen.
What bothers me is that someone was malicious or misinformed enough to do this. I thought we were better than that. Maybe the older guys like myself haven't done a good job teaching the younger ones good values like respect for the law and respect for others. We need to make it clear to everyone we can reach that this kind of thing is wrong, and help them understand why. I will personally make an effort to do that within my circle and I encourage everyone who reads this to do the same. That is some positive action that we can all take to help prevent it from happening in the future.
