We talked to Genevieve Furtner, who Govenor Tim Walz called the "Queen of Walleye," about all things fish: the DNR hatchery in Saint Paul, the State Fair fish pond, where baby walleye come from, what a "tiger muskie" is, why we stock lakes, and how much of an impact anglers have on the state economy.
