Nineteen members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club
braved the cold temperatures, the drizzle and a stiff north wind to compete in
a bass tournament on Saturday, April 4.
The tournament was held on McGee Creek Lake. The boat ramps at McGee Creek are in a state
park and are still open for bass tournaments.
All US Army Corps of Engineers lakes are closed for tournament fishing
at this time due to the corona virus.
Members did practice “social distancing” while signing in and during the
weigh-in.
Even though the weather was not cooperating the fish were
still willing to bite. Fifteen of the nineteen
anglers caught their limit of six bass.
Two anglers were able to catch a bass over the 16-22” slot limit. Winning first place with a stringer weight of
13.91 pounds was Andy Cripe. Andy also
caught the big bass of the tournament. It weighed 6.45 pounds. Josh Johnston finished in second place with a
stringer weight of 10.73 pounds. Josh
was also able to catch a bass over the slot limit that weighed 6.04 pounds.
Finishing in third place was Billy Latham.
Billy had a stringer weight of 9.28 pounds.
The club’s next bass tournament will be on Saturday, April
25, also at McGee Creek Lake. This will
take place unless the park is closed due to the corona virus. Fishing times will be announced later on the club’s
Facebook page. The club’s monthly meeting,
which was scheduled for Thursday, April 9, has been canceled.
Top Ten Standings: 4-4-20
