House bill names walleye the official state fish in Ohio

With little fanfare, the Ohio House of Representatives recently agreed to name the walleye as the official state fish.
House Bill 599, which passed the House 93-4, designates sander vitreus – commonly known as the walleye – as the official fish of the state of Ohio. State Reps. Sean Brennan, D-Parma, and D.J. Swearingen, R-Huron, introduced the bill.
“The walleye – sander vitreus – is the only choice to be Ohio’s official state fish,” argued Brennan in his testimony to the State and Local Government committee.
