| On Memorial Day weekend, the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™) will host tournaments on Lac Vieux Desert on Saturday, May 26th and a one day event the following Monday, May 28th on North/South Twin Lakes. Both the Lac Vieux Desert and North/South Twin events are the fourth and fifth events on a schedule of fourteen qualifying (one-day) tournaments for the inaugural season of the Muskie Country Tournament Circuit™ (MCTC™). Both tournaments are the first tournaments for the WMT Series™ to be hosted in Vilas in 2012 that will culminate in muskie fishing’s highest paying Championship on the Eagle River Chain on October 6th & 7th. The top fifty finishing teams during the 2012 MCTC™ will qualify for muskie fishing’s biggest prize at the WMT Series™ Championship™ where a first place prize could net a team $100,000.00 and $160,000.00 cash purse if minimum participation is met.
Both the Lac Vieux Desert and North South Twin Lakes tournaments have been some of the most popular event for the WMT Series™ over the years and for very good reason…they produce big fish. In fact North South Twin Lakes still holds the record for the most fish registered at a one day event of 28 muskies, a feat that has been accomplished twice at the “Twins”. Also, North and South Twin are credited for registering two muskies over fifty (50”) inches during the same tournament. Each of the Lac Vieux Desert and North South Twin Lakes tournaments will have a purse of $19,000.00 when the field of competitors reaches seventy five (75) teams. The cost to compete in an MCTC™ event is $370 per two angler team for each event. Both the Lac Vieux Desert and North/South Twin Lakes muskie tournaments still have some open spots remaining.
If you are interested in fishing Lac Vieux Desert and or North/South Twin Lakes tournament(s), you can register for the tournaments on line, or at the pre-tournament Friday night registration, May 25 th at the Hilltop Resort on the south shores of Lac Vieux Desert, or via road off of South Shore Drive from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. The awards for the Lac Vieux Desert event will be held at the Hilltop Resort and at Grape’s Twin Haven Resort for the North/South Twin Lakes tournament, with both starting at 5:00pm on Saturday and Monday at the conclusion of each qualifier.
