It was discussed with a friend who is a CO. Bear in mind that, although unfortunate, it depends on how "one interperts the Regulations". Our Sportfishing Regulations is a "condensed" version and complete ones available with F&W Offices.
Perhaps its better that it has to be recognized to the Walleye parent. Size restriction would be inforced pending on Zones. Experienced Anglers would be able to recognize the differences between the three but there's alot out there that don't.
The fish in the pic was easily a legal fish. Chances were it being a Hen and there has not been any hard evidence of Saugeye being a Sterile fish. A pic was good enough for me....
I was on a 2 day trip there and caught lots of fish. Had some for dinner and had my PB of 12 lb 6 oz Eye which was also released
