A picture of a walleye a man caught belonging to Art Long’s grandparents, who once owned “Long’s Cottages” on Plum Lake in Sayner. Long said he was told by a fisherman the walleye was caught in the 1920s or 1930s, was 40-inches long and weighed 20 pounds. (Contributed photograph)

Giant walleye ‘probably’ state record, but we’ll never know
This is probably the Wisconsin state record walleye, but there’s no way to prove it. This photo was in my grandparent’s possession, Millard and Jenny owned “Long’s Cottages on Plum Lake in Sayner. Several years ago, I showed this to Herb Warner (now deceased) and he told me this story.
