Walleye

Two final tips: keep the hooks razor sharp and try fishing at night. In addition to a mouthful of teeth, walleyes have a hard, bony palate to protect themselves from the spines of the fish they eat. A sharp hook is mandatory to getting a solid hookup. And in the Midwest, where walleye are native, and truly king, many anglers find great success fishing at night when walleye are naturally active, due to their ability to see in low light conditions.
