MadWags Memorial Members Bass Fishing Tournaments

Comradery & Fun Events Open to All Members of GreatLakesBass.com

Next Event: TBA – check the MadWags Forum for Announcements.

The MadWags Memorial Members Tournament (formerly DK Open) is an annual bass tournament open to all GreatLakesBass.com members. Boaters and non-boaters are randomly paired up to fish as a team for the day. The Spring MadWags Memorial East is a paper tournament on Lake St. Clair! The primary purposes of the MadWags Memorial events are for members to meet while doing what we all love best – fishing, and to honor the memory of a favorite member – MadWags – who passed away unexpectedly March 8, 2011! Visit the MadWags Memorial message board for full details and to join in!
