Strong storms moving through the area during the
early morning hours of Saturday, May 20, did not keep seventeen members of the Pushmataha
County Sportsman Club from competing in a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Luckily, most of the rain and storms had
moved east of the area by the start of the tournament. Anglers were left with cool temps, cloudy
skies and light winds. Not bad
conditions for being on the lake.
Only three anglers were able to catch their limit of
six bass. Seven anglers were unable to
catch a single keeper bass. The winning
stringer was caught by Judd Thomas. Judd
had a limit of bass that weighed 18.05 pounds.
Billy Latham, also with a limit of bass, finished in second place. Billy’s stinger weighed 16.93 pounds. Colby Chandler placed third with a limit of
bass weighing 14.41 pounds. The big bass
of the tournament was caught by Ellis Silvey.
It weighed 5.02 pounds.
The club’s next event will be the Annual Husband
& Wife bass tournament and Fish Fry.
It will be held on June 3, at McGee Creek Lake. Fishing times will be from 7:00 until 2:00
with a fish fry following the tournament.
Launch site for the tournament will be the Potapo boat ramp. A team does not have to be husband and wife
but must consist of a male and a female contestant. The tournament takes place on Oklahoma’s free
fishing weekend, therefore, contestants do not have to purchase a fishing
license to compete.
TOP TEN STANDINGS: 5-20-17
