McGee Creek bass tourney: 4-25-20

Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on April 25, at McGee Creek Lake.  Several anglers must have been suffering from “cabin fever’ due to the corona virus as this was one of the best turnouts of contestants in several years.  The weather was clear but very windy.  Most anglers were able to catch a limit of six bass.  Two anglers were able to catch a bass over the 16-22” slot limit.

Ellis Silvey won the tournament with a stringer weight of 14.81 lbs.  Ellis caught a bass that weighed 8.09 pounds to win the big bass of the tournament as well.  Finishing in second place was Kenny Briggs with a stringer weight of 14.50.  Kenny also had a bass over the slot limit that weighed 7.09 pounds.  Dennis Willeford finished in third place with a stringer weight of 8.26 pounds.

The club’s next bass tournament may be on May 9, at McGee Creek.  A decision will be made before then and posted on Facebook.  A tournament is scheduled for Sardis Lake on May 16 but the club will not be allowed to hold the tournament unless restrictions from the US Army Corps of Engineers, due to the corona virus, are lifted. Once they are lifted, the club will return to its regular schedule of bass tournaments.  Check back with our page on Facebook for updates as well as our website at www.pushcountysportsmanclub.blogspot.com.
