I caught one 30 yrs. ago.
I caught one 30 yrs ago fishing in Canada. I was told it was a albino and lacked pigments. They say the chances of catching one is one in a million. To this day some you can tell do not believe me when I tell the stories of the blue perch. Now I know I am not alone, welcome to the Blue Perch Club... lol
Blue walleye extinct to bad, sounds like a great fish in Erie history.
The blue walleye (Sander vitreus glaucus), also called the blue pike, was a subspecies of the walleye that went extinct in the Great Lakes in the 1980s. Until the middle of the 20th century, it was a commercially valuable fish, with about a half million tonnes being landed during the period from about 1880 to the late 1950s, when the populations collapsed. To bad, I wish they were still around!
