chaffmj Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I don't think it is a blue but then I'm not sure what it is.The few blues I have seen pictures of definitely have a blue hue to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Found this on another forum, evidently caught recently in Richardson Lake, Canada. Could just be a regular walleye with a really pronounced blue hue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger20 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 thats a really cool looking fish now if i could get 1 thats 30 plus inch that would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Had to ask being that I just like eating walleye. What is this? It had a tiny dorsal fin, very little white along the tail and also not a spot on the tail or anywhere else. The eye was the size of a 50 cent piece. 27x13.5 keep in mind I'm almost 6'4 270 I seem to make fish look small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Otter Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 That's a tough walleye living life "in the trenches" on a river system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here-Kitty-Kitty Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 See thats what I thought, but the other guys thought sauger or maybe even saugeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaffmj Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 After looking at all the pics posted earlier in this thread I would have to agree that it is a sauger. It has been so long since I caught one that I thought this one with the black on it was different then the ones I remember catching up at LOTW.

Wookiee Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 21.5 inch St. Croix Saugeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDOGG Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I must not catch enough Sauger to know any better. But what makes that a Saugeye? I woulda just called it a Sauger. Nice fish by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdale Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Here is a small one I caught yesterday on pool 2. Small but I thought the very black tint was interesting. Darkest one I ever caught. Looked solid black when I brought it out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatcreek Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The one you are calling sauger is a saugeye. Look at the dots on his dorsal fin, and his distinct markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdale Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think you are correct it is a saugeye. I was thinking it was a very dark sauger but the gold color and a little white on the tail says it all. First saugeye I have caught. Will have to pay more attention in the future.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.W.Wolfram Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 OK... I had to repost this in the correct spot. 27" no WT taken, 8# was my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You never know, that could be a full on state record sauger! Whatever it is, it's a nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Hunter04 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Looks like a LOW sauger.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmiller33 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 the state record sauger is like 6 lbs/24 inches isnt it? that thing could have smashed the state record!!! what did you do with that fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I dont know of course but from looking at the pic it looks like a walleye or maybe saugeye more than a true sauger but thats just from looking at a pic on the computer.

DTro Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think Captain Fireman was pretty sure it was a Saugeye as it had a white tip on the tail.You really never know though until you take DNA samples. I read an article from out West somewhere about a huge Walleye that later turned out to be a Saugeye after the DNR did some testing, and is the now the current record. Can’t tell at all by looking at the picture that is was a saugeye. It looked just like a walleye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
