The World Muskie Tournament Series™ (WMT Series™) will be hosting two Vilas County qualifying events this Memorial Weekend on Saturday, May 25th on Lac Vieux Desert in Land O'Lakes and Monday, May 27th on North/South Twin Lakes in Phelps. Each event is a Muskie Country Tournament Circuit™ qualifier where the top fifty teams will earn their way to the biggest muskie tournament of the year, the WMT Series™ Invitational Championship™. The very prestigious Invitational Championship has set records for the last three years with the highest cash pay-outs for a muskie tournament circuit championship with last year's top prize of $50,000.00 with a purse of over $70,000.00. This year could see that record falling again for the fourth straight year at $80,000.00 for first place with a purse of $140,000.00 Both the Lac Vieux Desert and Twin Lakes tournaments are scheduled to pay down five places with the first place prize equaling $10,000.00 with a full field of participants. The cost to compete in the muskie tournament is $330 per team.
Both the Lac Vieux Desert and North/South Twin Lakes have been two very popular tournaments for the WMT Series™ for over a decade and with spring finally arriving in northern Wisconsin, folks will be eager to enjoy the warm weather, the camaraderie, and the spirited competition that both tournaments are sure to provide. Saturdays Lac Vieux Desert tournament will start at 6:00 am at the headquarters of Hill Side Resort and concluding at 3:00 pm. The North/South Twin Lakes tourney will have the same hours on Memorial Day Monday with the headquarters located at Grape's Twin Haven Resort with both tournament awards commencing at 4:00 pm at their respective headquarters.
