Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held
their last regular season bass tournament of 2019 on Saturday, September 7. The tournament was held on Hugo Lake. Twenty-one members participated in the event.
Anglers enjoyed mild temperatures at the start of the
tournament but that quickly changed as the sun began to rise. The temp rose rapidly and reached one hundred
one degrees by the end of the tournament.
The lake level was about one foot below normal with a water temperature
in the upper eighties. Nine anglers were
able to catch their limit of six bass despite the clear skies and hot
conditions.
Judd Thomas won the tournament with a stringer weight of
16.73 pounds. Ellis Silvey placed second
with a stringer weight of 14.05 pounds. Billy
Latham finished in third place with a stringer weight of 13.60 pounds. By coincidence, this is also the position
that these three anglers finished the year in the over-all standings. The big
bass of the tournament weighed 3.49 pounds and was caught by Marty Martin.
The club will hold its Annual Top Ten Bass Tournament on
Saturday, September 14. This tournament
will pit the top ten anglers against each other with up to five wildcard
positions also being allowed to compete.
Those qualifying for this year’s top ten tournament (from number 1 to
10) are Judd Thomas, Ellis Silvey, Billy Latham, Billy Hensley, Mike Burrage,
Kaleb Hensley, Chuck Beck, Forrest Cave, Terry Thurman and Eugene Hensley. Those qualifying for a wildcard position are Randy
Janoe and Chris Ayers. Those qualifying
for the tournament must attend the club’s meeting on Thursday, September 12, to
pay their entry fee and vote on the lake to be fished. If they cannot attend, they should send their
entry fee with someone to the meeting.
Entry fees for the fall deer season contest will also be
accepted at the Thursday night meeting.
The club holds a contest for each of Oklahoma’s three deer seasons:
archery, primitive and regular gun seasons.
Winners are determined by the size of the deer’s antlers using the Boone
& Crockett scoring system. Entry
fees ($10.00 per season) must be paid before a season begins. Entry fees can also be paid at Silvey’s
Tax. The club will not meet again until
the second Thursday in December.
