There was the 54-inch tiger musky caughton Lac Vieux Desert in 1919, and the 29-inch silver redhorsecaught in Plum Creek in 1985. There was the 18-pound walleyelanded on High Lake in 1933 and the 4.3-inch mottled sculpin(they are small!) captured in Gunlock Lake in 2016. Records aremeant to be broken, and they just might be broken here again—try your luck!14 PUBLIC ACCESS WATERWAYSLAKE WATERS BY GAME FISH SPECIESLAKESACRESBass............................. 472 ................................ 89,053Walleye.......................... 209 ................................ 75,706Musky........................... 198 ................................ 72,451Northern Pike................. 195 ................................ 59,104LAKE STATISTICSLAKESACRESTotal Lake Count............ 1,327 ............................. 93,920Total Lakes Named......... 563 ................................ 91,187VILAS.ORG
