Kettle Moraine Monday Evening Bass Tournaments was established in 2003 by Doug Duernberger.
The K.M.M.B.T. Bass fishing circuit fishes 15 tournaments throughout the course of the year on 8 different lakes, located in southeastern Wisconsin. A point system is used to determine the top six teams which then qualify for a FREE ENTRY into the Championship. Additional teams can buy in to the championship for $50 (per team) - if they have fished 85-90% of weekly tournaments - 13 of 15.
The team entry fee for club members is $50 dollars & $75 for non-club members, this includes entry into the BIG BASS POT.
The pay out is 85%, with 15% going towards the Championship prize purse and trophies. Big Bass is 100% pay out. Entry fee's are non-refundable.
PAY OUT BASED ON A 16 TEAM FIELD:
1st Place: $195 dollars, 2nd Place: $145 dollars, 3rd Place: $115 dollars, 4th place : $90 dollars.
Payouts will be adjusted accordingly for tournaments with over 16 teams.

​
Pre-tournament practice:
Each individual tournament lake is off limits to all tournament anglers beginning 12:01am on the Sunday prior to the tournament, until the start of the tournament.
​
Weather / lightning rule:
During storms with lightning / severe weather, teams may seek shelter and continue to fish, as long as the following parameters are met:
1) No-wake rules are not broken.
If a boat exceeds no-wake rules, that team will be disqualified from the tournament.
2) Their boat may not leave the water.
A team may pull their boat from the water for inclement weather, but may NOT continue fishing once their boat is on the trailer. They CANNOT re-launch and fish after the weather has passed. They will still be allowed to weigh in bass caught prior to pulling their boat from the water.
At the discretion of the tournament directors, a tournament can be cancelled due to weather. Factors that may cause an event to be cancelled are (but not limited to) severe thunderstorm warnings, high wind forecast, long duration lightning event and predicted severe weather that is beyond safe boating / fishing criteria.
Tournament directors will attempt to give as much notice as possible prior to cancellation. Our safety will be the first consideration with these decisions.
Tournament Co-Directors: Doug Duernberger & Scott Dembiec
Weight & Measure officials: Sawyer Schmidt & Brady Weinert > will make any call/ruling on a teams bass that are deemed " close to call ". Their decision will be final.
If it involves a fish from either one of the K.M.M.B.T. Directors/Officials, that person will not be allowed in the decision.

*Teams must catch a legal fish to place and gain points during the tournament. Teams catching no fish only gain the entry fee points ( 2 ). Ties will be broke as follows:
Most fish, then heaviest fish, then longest fish.
If a tie still exists after this, those teams equally get that placement of points.
Example: two teams have 3.75 lbs., both teams have a 2 lb. bass ( heaviest ) and length is the same...say 16", THAT NIGHT 3.75 LBS places 8th. Both teams gain 13 pts.
Additional bonus points: BIG BASS is worth* 2 points.
A full Five fish limit is worth* 2 points.
Paid Entry Bonus: Every time you enter a tournament, you receive* 2 points.
