Changes to the "Mad Dog" Moore Memorial Bass Tournament

The 20th annual "Mad Dog" Moore Memorial Bass Tournament was held on Sept 10th at Lake Fork with a record number of teams fishing (194). Due to the problems that we encountered with the long weigh-in line we have decided to change the format from a team stringer tournament to an hourly big bass tournament. Lots of details to work out but most likely 5 places per hour and then an overall standing. Each year that we encounter a problem, we try to address it and correct it for the next year. Next year's tournament is scheduled like always, the first Saturday after Labor day. September 9th 2017

Obviously there is a lot of support for a "team/stringer" tournament. The "Mad Dog" board will reconsider our options on the best changes that need to be made to the tournament. It is impossible to please everyone but we have continued for the last 20 years to try and improve the problems that are brought to our attention or that we encounter. We will strive to make the changes to the tournament that will make it run smoother and continue to make it a fun tournament for the majority of fishermen. Some of the issues pointed out in this forum are good points that we will be taking into consideration and work to resolve. One of the issues brought us is the donation bucket at the food line. That will be resolved.
