Thanks for the added comments. I guess it never crossed my mind that a whole state would be naturally without any Walleye and thus they would be considered an invasive species. I guess we learn something every day. I wonder what other state has no naturally occurring walleye. Maybe Hawaii?

I can totally understand if they are trying to control variables to have a YP only fishery.

IF someone illegally stocked walleye I wonder how far they had to transport said walleye and keep it alive in order to illegally plant it there. A cross state night time venture? but why?
