Hello, I have a question about Walleye, that question is how good of an eating fish are they? I just moved to central WA, and this will be the first year I'll actually have enough money to get out there and target fish like the mighty Walleye. I did catch a walleye (relatively small, about 15 inches) once, but had to release it because the guy who owned the boat I was on is strictly catch and release (I'm not knocking the guy, I release about 90% of everything I catch).

So I'm really curious. I know they're a cousin to the yellow perch, so do they have that sweet perch meat? I asked a guy at work and he said Walleye is his favorite eating fish, with halibut being his second favorite. Now I know they can't be that good, but his statement definitely got me wondering. Any light hearted opinions toward the quality of walleye meat would be appreciated!
