On Saturday, July 22, 2017, members of the Pushmataha
County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Pine Creek Lake. The lake level was ten feet above normal with
water temperatures reaching 95 degrees.
Anglers had to endure air temps in the upper 90’s with a heat index of
106 degrees.
The weather was hot but the bite was not. Only six anglers were able to catch a keeper
bass. This is the second tournament in a
row where not a single angler was able to catch a six fish limit of bass.
Johnny Ivey won the tournament with a five fish stringer
that weighed 12.56 pounds. Johnny also
caught the biggest bass of the tournament.
It weighed 3.46 pounds. Ellis
Silvey finished in second place with a stringer weight of 8.32 pounds. Billy Latham came in third with a stringer
weight of 6.41 pounds.
The club’s next bass tournament will be their annual Noon
to Noon bass tournament. It will be held
on August 5-6 at McGee Creek Lake, Buster Hights Landing. As the name suggest, the tournament will
begin at 12:00 noon on Saturday and will end at 12:00 noon on Sunday. There will be a weigh-in at 9:00 pm on
Saturday, after which, angers may return to the lake and continue fishing or go
home and return at their leisure to finish the tournament. Anglers that have a limit of bass cannot
resume fishing until 12:01 am. The final
weigh-in will be at noon on Sunday. Stringer
weights from both days will be added together to determine winners.
TOP TEN STANDINGS: 7-22-17
