The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on Saturday, July 11, at Hugo Lake. Seventeen members braved the heat to participate in the event. The lake level was at normal level. The weather was hot and humid with a light breeze most of the day. The breeze did offer some relief from the heat. Catching a quality size bass was difficult for most. Small bass were easier to catch with all but one angler catching a limit of five bass.
Jim
Armstrong caught a limit of bass that weighed 14.49 pounds to win first place
in the tournament. Forrest Cave finished
in second place with stringer weight of 14.41 pounds. Tony Derby took third place
with a stringer weight of 12.70 pounds. Tony
also caught the big bass of the tournament.
It weighed 4.43 pounds.
The
club’s next event will be the annual Noon to Noon bass Tournament on July 25-26
at McGee Creek Lake. As the name
suggest, the tournament will start at noon on Saturday and end at noon on
Sunday. A weigh-in will be held Saturday
night at 9:00 p.m. Launch site for the
tournament is the Buster Hights boat ramp. Anglers that have a limit of fish
are thru fishing until 12:00 midnight.
Anglers that do not have a limit may continue fishing after the
weigh-in. Anglers may leave the lake
after weigh-in and return at their leisure to finish the tournament. As always, the tournament lake is off limits
for 24 hours prior to the start of the tournament.
