Awsome. If you ever find out how much they are I'd be willing to pay for shipping and everything. How big are they?

i have seen them in the pet shop for i think like $20 maybe?...they were around 3-6" maybe?...like i said i seen them aknowlaged they were walleyes, was like "oh, thats cool" and whent about my way...if i catch one i might be able to change the size to 2-12" for shipping...again like the bowfins idk on the funds as i dont have a card machine or bank account...i like to lay low...ya know off the radar;)

i also see pikes, tiger muskies, sunfish, yellow perch, smallies, lmbs, bullheads and a few others at this shop...
 
We have:

1 Spotted Bass
2 Long Ear Sunfish
1 Bluegill
1 Green Sunfish
3 Creek Chub
4 Cocahoe Minnows

I noticed last night that our Green Sunfish's spine from the back of her dorsal fin to her tail is now crooked. Anyone have any ideas as to what's causing it? The water chemistry is perfect. She's eating voraciously and doesn't appear to be ill in any other way. I'm hoping it's not something like TB...
 
At the moment I have a bullhead,2 Green sunfish,4 top minnows. I have had
Bluegill
Pumpkinseeds
green sunfish
orange spotted sunfish
redears
Largemouth bass
smallmouth bass
rock bass
black and white crappie
channel catfish
gizzard shad
emerald shiner
gold shiner
white sucker
redhorse
carp
quilback
johnny darters
tadpole madtoms
stonecat
fathead minnows
redfin shiners
drum
creek chubs
OK I think that is it. I have only kept native fish for the past 10 years.
