 A major bass fishing tournament is returning to Molochs Lake. The 2017 Bass Master Angler of the Year tournament runs September 14th through the 17th next year. The top 50 anglers on the Bass Master Elite Series Tour will compete for the Angler of the Year title. Eric Lopez of the Bass Angler Sportsman Society says last year's event which brought the tournament to Molochs for the first time couldn't have gone better. Local businesses in the state are promoting the lake as a bass fishery to help make up for its decline of walleye population.
