This is probably a very rookie question, but someone out there must know how to visually tell the gender of a walleye quickly before releasing it. What are the differences in appearance between male and female?

I agree with all said. But there is a way which involves looking/probing into the vent area and then having the training to recognize what your actually looking for/at.
But personally, to many other strange looks, remarks and questions arise from close friend and others while your probing up a fish's butt to make it worth the probing or the knowing. Capt. Dan.

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | I'm sorry How. i guess i should have posted the other real answers first. There is really no outwardly physical way to tell one gender walleye from another unless it close to their spawning time, in which case the females will get way bigger in the belly then the males. But theres been times when i thought a big fat male was a female and it wasn't. |
