On Saturday, July 25, members of the Pushmataha County
Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Pine Creek Lake. Eighteen members braved the one hundred
degree heat and high humidity to compete in the event. The extreme heat did not discourage the fish
from biting however, as half of those fishing had six fish limits and it took a
stringer weight of over twenty pounds just to place in the top three positions. The lake was close to the new “normal” level
since the water level has been lowered due to repair work being done on the
lake dam.
Most
members were able to catch several keeper bass as well as a lot of fish under
the fourteen inch minimum length limit that were caught and released. Trenton Tollett won the tournament with a
stringer weight of 20.88 pounds.
Finishing in second place was Shawn Barnett. Shawn had a stringer weight of 20.55
pounds. He also had caught the biggest
bass of the tournament with a fish weighing 6.02 pounds. Billy Latham came in third with a stringer
weight of 20.14 pounds.
The
club’s next event will be a bass tournament on McGee Creek Lake. The tournament will be held on August 8 at the
Buster Hight boat ramp. The tournament
will begin at “safe light” and end at 3:30 p.m. Remember to check the club’s
