Sardis Lake Bass Tournament


On Saturday, May 21, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Anglers enjoyed mild temperatures and for a change, light winds during the day.  The start of the tournament was delayed for over an hour due to heavy fog.  Visibility at times was only a hundred yards or less.  Once the fog lifted, the twenty-seven anglers entered in the tournament were able to enjoy a nice day of bass fishing.

Most anglers were able to catch at least a few keeper size bass but only six anglers were able to catch a limit of six bass.  Randy Janoe caught the heaviest stringer to win first place.  Randy had a six bass limit that weighed 21.72 pounds.  Billy Latham, also with a six fish limit, came in second with a stringer weight of 16.46 pounds.  Ellis Silvey finished in third place with a six fish limit that weighed 15.92.  Randy Janoe caught the big bass of the tournament with a bass weighing 7.97 pounds.

The club’s next event will be the Annual Husband-Wife Bass Tournament and fish fry.  It will be held on McGee Creek Lake at the Potapo boat ramp on June 4.  The tournament takes place on Oklahoma’s free fishing week-end so contestants do not have to have a fishing license to participate.  Also, teams do not have to be husband and wife, just a male-female team is required.  Members that do not have a partner can still fish for the big bass prize.  Fishing times will be from 7:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.  A fish fry will follow the weigh-in for all those that attend.
