Fish Peeve

I am a Walleye. More scientifically, sander vitreus vitreus, formerly Stizostedion vitreum vitreum. I am in the perch family, Percidae. I look like this...



I am NOT a pickerel! I do not belong to the family Esocidae. I am not related to the northern pike (Esox lucius)



or the Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy).



I do not look even remotely like the chain pickerel (Esox niger),



grass pickerel (Esox americanus vermiculatus),



or redfin pickerel (Esox americanus americanus).



Walleye are not pickerel. They are totally different fish.

I feel so much better now. End rant...
