Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held
their last regular season bass tournament of 2017 on Saturday, September
9. The tournament was held on Hugo
Lake. Nineteen members participated in
the event.
Anglers enjoyed mild temperatures and light breezes
throughout the day. The lake level was
near normal with a water temperature in the upper seventies to the low
eighties. Most anglers reported that
bass bit fairly well during the early morning hours but slowed down
considerably a few hours after sunrise.
Only three anglers were able to catch a six fish limit and they were the
ones that placed in the tournament.
Terry Thurman won the tournament with a stringer weight
of 14.60 pounds. Colton Fleming placed
second with a stringer weight of 13.80 pounds.
Colton also had the big bass of the tournament. It weighed 4.60 pounds. Judd Thomas finished in third place with a
stringer weight of 11.30 pounds.
The club will hold its Annual Top Ten Bass Tournament on
Saturday, September 16. This tournament
will pit the top ten anglers against each other with up to five wildcard
positions also being allowed to compete.
Those qualifying for this year’s top ten tournament are Judd Thomas,
Billy Latham, Ellis Silvey, Colby Chandler, Chuck Beck, Randy Janoe, Mike
Burrage, Forrest Cave, Eugene Hensley, and Colton Fleming. Those qualifying for a wildcard position are
Billy Hensley, Joe Janoe, and Kaleb Hensley. Those qualifying for the
tournament must attend the club’s meeting on Thursday, September 14, to pay their
entry fee and vote on the lake to be fished.
If they cannot attend, they should send their entry fee with someone to
the meeting.
Entry fees for the fall deer season contest will also be
accepted at the Thursday night meeting.
The club holds a contest for each of Oklahoma’s three deer seasons:
archery, primitive and regular gun seasons.
Winners are determined by the size of the deer’s antlers using the Boone
& Crockett scoring system. Entry
fees must be paid before a season begins.
Entry fees can also be paid at Silvey’s Tax. The club will not meet again until the second
Thursday in December.
