Sander vitreus
The common name, "walleye", comes from the fact that the fish's eyes point outward, as if looking at the walls. In medicine, the term "walleyed" (as opposed to "cross-eyed")is used to refer to lateral strabismus, where the pupil deviates outward.

They're very similar, but I never knew they were different species. This is either a Zander on holiday or a Walleye... Haha
I just looked it up. It's not a Zander because Zander's are native to Europe. So i guess Walleye's and Zander's are different fish. So i guess there is a difference between them. This is where I found the info: http://www.michiganforums.com/forum/show...
