Hugo bass Tourn. 7-27-19, Free Youth fishing tournament


Hugo Lake Bass Tournament

Free Youth Fishing Tournament

The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, July 27, at Hugo Lake.  Seventeen members participated in the event.  The lake level was slightly above normal.  The weather, for this time of the year, was quite pleasant with temperatures in the low sixties at takeoff and the low nineties at weigh-in.  All anglers were able to catch at least one keeper bass over the fourteen inch minimum length limit.  Six anglers were able to catch a limit of six bass.  .

Donald Wall managed to catch a limit of bass weighing 13.46 pounds to win the tournament.  Terry Thurman finished in second place, also with a limit of bass that weighed 11.64 pounds.  The third place stringer was caught by Ellis Silvey.  It weighed 11.36 pounds.  Terry Thurman caught a bass weighing 3.49 pounds to win the big bass of the tournament.

The club’s next event will be the annual Free Youth Fishing Tournament.  It will be held at McGee Creek Lake on Saturday, August 3.  Contestants may sign up with a club member at the Buster Hight boat ramp.  Fishing will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 1:00 p.m.  Any youth, age sixteen or under, may enter the contest.  Anglers may fish from a boat, the shore, or the fishing pier located in the Buster Hight recreation area.  Any legal fish may be kept and weighed by the contestants. Live bait or artificial lures may be used.  All state and federal regulations must be followed.  Plaques and prizes will be awarded to the young anglers.  After weigh-in, the anglers and their parents will be treated to a hot dog cookout with all the trimmings.  This will take place at the pavilion in the Buster Hight recreation area.  There is absolutely no charge for the tournament or cookout.  You can keep up with club activities on Facebook or on our website at www.pushcountysportsmanclub.blogspot.com.
