On Saturday, March 29, members of the Pushmataha County
Sportsman Club competed in a bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Anglers enjoyed
mild temperatures but also had to deal with a stiff breeze. Twenty-three members
competed in the tournament. Twelve anglers were able to catch a five fish limit
and four anglers were unable to boat a single keeper.
Billy Hensley had a good day by catching both the
heaviest stringer and the heaviest bass. Billy won the tournament with a five
fish limit that weighed 19.66 pounds. His big bass weighed 8.45 pounds. Finishing
in second place was Jim Armstrong. Jim
had a stringer weight of 14.37 pounds.
Third place honors went to Eric Baskin. His stringer weighed 11.06
pounds.
The club’s next event will be a bass tournament on Hugo
Lake. It will be held on Saturday, April
12. Launch site for the tournament will
be Frazier Point boat landing. Fishing
times will be voted on at the club’s monthly meeting.
