In heavily fished populations, however, few walleye older than five or six years of age are encountered. In North America, where they are highly prized, their typical size when caught is on the order of 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in), substantially below their potential size. As walleye grow longer, they increase in weight.
When ice fishing, walleye are caught jigging or on tip-ups. Tip-ups are generally set up with a dacron backing and a clear synthetic leader. For bait, the most common minnows are fatheads and shiners. [3] Size for bait is anywhere from 1 to 7 inches. [citation needed] Walleye are not known for their fight in fish below about 24" in size.
Aristotle (ca. 340 B.C.) may have been the first scientist to speculate on the use of hard parts of fishes to determine age, stating in Historica Animalium that “the age of a scaly fish may be told by the size and hardness of its scales.” [4] However, it was not until the development of the microscope that more detailed studies were performed on the structure of scales.

A slot limit is a tool used by fisheries managers to regulate the size of fish that can legally be harvested from particular bodies of water. Usually set by state fish and game departments, the protected slot limit prohibits the harvest of fish where the lengths, measured from the snout to the end of the tail, fall within the protected interval.

The blue walleye was long considered to be different from the yellow walleye. [1] Based on morphological study, Carl Leavitt Hubbs declared the blue walleye to be a separate species in 1926. [2] The species was later downgraded to a subspecies. [3] The blue walleye was a commercially valuable fish in the Great Lakes.
