SPRINGFIELD—A photo published on June 13, 2024, said to be of a 26-1/2 inch walleye caught by SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station interns was, in fact, not the right photo. The original picture featured a largemouth bass, a popular gamefish and prominent member of the Otsego Lake fish community. Both fish were caught as part of an annual survey conducted by the BFS of near-shore fishes. Above, summer research intern Joshua Hardesty displays the “real” walleye. According to SUNY Oneonta officials, this walleye catch is significant not only because of its size (about as large as they grow), but because of the history it represents.
