Walleye, Sauger, Saugeye Identification π
These 3 are the largest members of the Perch Family of fishes π―
They often get confused with one another, especially Saugeye. Not all fish are created equally and may look different in appearance than another of the same exact species. (Genetics,Injury,habitat,diet,etc)

Sometimes you only need to see 1 particular trait to confirm identity, sometimes it requires multiple.
Or in the case of Hybrids, a mix of particular traits!
