Fish in the current inventory
For Whiplash Lake, the current data does not support a confident species list; for a first visit, i would keep the tackle flexible and avoid building the whole day around one species, and without turning a simple lake trip into a gear-hauling contest.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Whiplash Lake, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
