McGee Creek Bass Tournament

March 9, 2024

Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held their first bass tournament of 2024 on Saturday, March 9.  The tournament was held on McGee Creek Lake.  Eighteen members participated in the event. After a very warm week, winter blew in and let us know that it was not over yet.  The temperature at the start of the tournament was about 40 degrees with a stiff north wind.  Despite these conditions, a few anglers were able to put together some nice stringer weights.

Twelve members were able to bring fish in for the weigh-in.  Six members had their limit of five bass. Chuck Beck won the tournament with a stringer weight of 9.89 pounds.  Judd Thomas finished in second place with a stringer weight of 7.11 pounds. Billy Hensley came in third.  His stringer weighed 6.82 pounds.  Kindel Holiman had the big bass of the tournament.  It weighed 3.57 pounds.

The club’s next tournament will be on March 23, at Sardis Lake.  Fishing times will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting on Thursday, March 14.  The club meets at the Wildlife Heritage Center and meetings begin at 7:30 p.m.
