Alright so last summer I was fishing out on lake erie for walleye alot and caught a grey one so i thought it was just a skin color...Until now i just found out that theres a species of walleye called blue pike marked as extinct (check the nanfa checklist). Unfortunatley I had forgotten my camera. If anyone believes me or just wants to laugh feel free too i dont care i know what happened! Sander vitreus glaucus IS ALIVE JUST LIKE TUPAC!!

To bad you did not have a camera. There is a reward for a live one I belive.
Did you let it go?

I would like to believe you, but without any evidence, that's tough. I would love to see a blue pike.

That is sad. 4 species officially extint in the Great Lakes since 1950's.

dude, tupac is most definetly still alive, ntm that if u had kept him in a livewell u probably could have gotten some reward. Im sure there are a couple of undiscovered/undiscovered fish in the great lakes

You catch blue colored eyes up here all the time, along with the yellow-tinged ones. Sure it was not just two different colored walleye?
