Not that my comments will likely change anyone's opinion, but speaking only of Utah lake, the carp netting and other study operations have shown rather conclusively that there are an enormous number of large walleyes in there that never are caught and die of old age or die offs when the forage crashes.
My opinion is that you can do whatever your conscience permits (keep it or not) at UL and not affect the walleye population in any way. You could probably double the current overall UL walleye harvest and not change the population dynamic much there. (I recognize other lakes like Willard are quite different however.)
