On Saturday, June 4, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held their annual husband & wife bass tournament and fish fry. The event took place at McGee Creek Lake. Eighteen anglers competed in the tournament. The lake level was above normal level and slowly falling. The weather was warm and humid making for a very warm day. These conditions made catching quality bass difficult.
The team of Bradley Mills and Amanda Young took first place honors with 10.82 pounds for the heaviest stringer weighed in. Kaleb Hensley and Jamie Critchlow finished in second place with a stringer weight of 6.30 pounds. Third place stringer was won by Eugene and Judy Hensley with a stringer weight of 5.01 pounds. The biggest bass of the tournament was caught by Randy Janoe. His bass weighed 2.21 pounds. After all fish had been weighed, anglers were treated to a fish fry with all the trimmings. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the fellowship.
In the ladies big bass division, Amanda Young won first place with a bass weighing 2.11 pounds. Judy Hensley came in second with a bass weighing 1.52 pounds. Third place went to Heather Janoe for her 1.06 pound bass. Martha Hensley came in fourth with a bass that weighed .82 pounds. Jamie Crithlow caught a .81 pound bass for fifth place. Each of these ladies will receive a plaque that will be awarded at the club's next meeting.
The club’s next bass tournament is scheduled for Saturday, June 11, on Pine Creek Lake. Launch site for the tournament will be the Little River South boat ramp, aka Rock Creek Ramp. Fishing times for the tournament will be voted on at the club’s meeting on Thursday, June 9. The club meets at the Wildlife Heritage Center and Museum at 7.30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month.
