Hugo Lake Bass Tournament 7-9-16

On Saturday, July 9, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Hugo Lake. The temperature for July was fairly moderate, warming only into the upper eighties.  Anglers enjoyed a mild breeze and partly cloudy skies for most of the day.  A light rain fell during the weigh-in. The lake was just below normal level. Seven anglers were able to catch a six fish limit while everyone else was able to catch at least a few keeper size bass.

Colby Chandler was the first place winner.  Colby had a stringer weight of 18.41 pounds.  Judd Thomas finished in second place with a stringer weight of 18.04 pounds.  Judd also caught the biggest bass of the tournament with a bass weighing 5.81 pounds.  Ellis Silvey finished in third place with a six fish limit that weighed 15.91 pounds. 

The club’s next event will be the annual Noon to Noon Bass Tournament on McGee Creek Lake.  The tournament is scheduled for July 23-24 and will launch from the Buster Hights boat ramp. Fishing times will be from 12:00 noon on Saturday until 12:00 noon on Sunday.  A weigh-in will be held Saturday night after which, anglers may return to fishing or go home and return at their leisure to finish the tournament.  Anglers with a limit of fish at the Saturday night weigh-in cannot return to fishing until after mid-night.
