Husband-wife bass tourney 2023

Husband-Wife Bass Tournament

On Saturday, June 3, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held their annual Husband-Wife Bass Tournament at McGee Creek Lake.  Couples did not have to be husband and wife but did have to be a male & female team to compete.  The day started off cool with temps in the sixties and a light drizzle but quickly warmed up to the low eighties.

Only 4 anglers were able to catch a five fish limit of bass.  The team of Tony Derby and Karie Larkins won the tournament with a stringer weight of 12.90 pounds.  Don and Sherry Deems finished in second place with a stringer weight of 8.90 pounds.  Finishing in third place was Bradley Mills and Amanda Young.  They had a stringer weight of 4.54 pounds.  The big bass of the tournament was caught by Tony Derby.  It weighed 5.10 pounds.

In the ladies big bass division, Sherry Deems took top honors with a bass weighing 3.28 pounds.   The second place big bass caught by the ladies weighed 1.36 pounds and was caught by Karie Larkins.  Finishing in third place, with a bass weighing 1.16 pounds, was Amanda Young.  Tina Green placed fourth with a bass that weighed 1.05 pounds.  Wendy Cave took the fifth and final place with a bass that weighed .51 pounds.  Each lady will receive a plaque at the club’s next meeting.

The club’s next event will be a bass tournament on Sardis Lake.  It will be held on Saturday, June 10, at the Sardis Lake, Sardis Cove boat ramp.    Starting time for the tournament will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting on Thursday, June 8.  This is a club tournament and is open only to club members.

Members that entered the spring turkey contest are reminded to bring their turkey’s beard to the monthly meeting to be measured so contest winners can be determined.
