Hugo Lake Bass Tournament: 7-14-18


The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, July 14, at Hugo Lake.  Twenty-four members participated in the event.  The lake level was eighteen inches below normal.  In a nutshell, the weather was hot, the fishing was not.  For most of the anglers, catching a keeper bass over fourteen inches in length proved to be difficult.  Only two anglers were able to catch a six fish limit of bass.  Nine anglers were unable to boat a single keeper bass.
Judd Thomas managed to catch a limit of bass weighing 13.23 pounds to win the tournament.  Kindel Holiman finished in second place, also with a limit of bass that weighed 12.75 pounds.  The third place stringer was caught by Ellis Silvey.  It weighed 10.71 pounds.  Judd Thomas caught a bass weighing 4.63 pounds to win the big bass of the tournament.
The club’s next bass tournament will be the annual Noon to Noon tournament.  It will be held on July 28-29 at McGee Creek Lake.  Members will launch from the Buster Hights boat ramp.   As the name suggest, the tournament will begin at 12:00 noon on Saturday and will end at 12:00 noon on Sunday.  A weigh-in will be held at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, after which, anglers may return to the lake and continue fishing, unless they weighed in a limit of bass.  Those weighing in six bass must wait until after midnight to continue fishing.  Anglers may also leave and then return at their leisure to finish the tournament with the final weigh-in at noon on Sunday.
