There is a book called "Fishes of Alabama and the Mobile Basin" that documents every fish found in the state, from minnows to sturgeon.  Walleye were found in their surveys mainly downstream from the Coosa and Tallapoosa dams, but they are not numerous.  Siltation and water quality issues have worked against walleye populations in the state.  They are actually a distinct race, hence the efforts to re-establish the fish in the state. 

One of the odd fish that they shocked up was a muskie from the lower Tallapoosa.  I don't know if they were ever stocked there, and it may have been the only one sampled in the state, at least the only one found anywhere near Martin.  Those pike could have been chain pickerel.  They can be fun to catch, but they prefer shallow, weedy water, so Martin is not a good home for them.
