Eskridge Chevrolet to Sponsor the Big Bass Clash: No Entry Fee

If you think 2021 cant get any better, it just did. Eskridge Chevrolet in Guthrie has made a huge donation to the Oklahoma Kayak Anglers and just wait till you hear how much! Eskridge donated $2,000 to the Big Bass Clash which will allow qualifying anglers to forgo an entry fee. Yes, that's correct anglers who qualify for the Big Bass Clash will not pay an entry fee for the tournament. The $2,000 donation will be used as the payout purse for the top 5 anglers. However, there is a small registration fee of $7 dollars that anglers will pay on tourneyx, $5 of which will go to tourneyx and $1.93 will go to PayPal.


Eskridge Chevrolet in Guthrie sells new and preowned vehicles and also provides a great service department. Eskridge General Manager Justin Pence and OKA Board Member Michael Galbraith Sr. have forged a relationship built around telling fish stories. "I got the idea after purchasing my second vehicle from Eskridge", Galbraith said. " Most of the guys were very eager to talk fishing whenever I came in."  As stated above Galbraith Sr. just recently purchased his second vehicle from Eskridge and that's when Galbraith reached out for a potential partnership with the OKA and Eskridge. " I asked the GM and he asked for a proposal and the rest is history!"

OKA Event # 2 Recap: Barham wins at the end

OKA event #2 has concluded and as always the weather and fishing does its best to not cooperate. Anglers experienced low temperatures, intense fog, high winds, muddy water, and post cold front bass. However, top anglers always find a way to catch em' and put a 5-fish limit together. Out of 66 anglers only 116 bass were scored. Moreover, Only 9 anglers were able to fill the limit of 5 bass. As the saying goes, its called fishing and not catching for a reason. Nevertheless, someone always rises to the top to cash out the top payout.  Angler Chance Barham was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has been fishing since he could walk. Barham has only been kayak fishing for the last year when he discovered Greg Blanchard's  kayak fishing channel on Youtube. Barham fished at Hominy Lake and used a green pumpkin Senko with the tip dipped in garlic chartreuse and dead-sticked it all day. At 1:40PM, Barham sat in 11th place on tourneyx and wanted to throw in the towel. Soon after 1...

2020 OKA Season In Review

My Grandfather use to always say " The years go by faster as you get older", and as the years add up this cannot be more true. The OKA released the 2020 schedule last October and worked hard to gather new sponsors, keep longtime sponsors and recruit new anglers and maintain the familiar hammers the OKA sees on a season to season basis. Now with a flip of a page on the calendar the OKA looks forward to 2021. Kayak fishing in Oklahoma has taken a steady increase over the past few years and we as group expected a big season with a revamped board, social media presence, and sponsorships. However, the OKA did not expect the outpouring of support and attendance from anglers across the state and region. Some put the huge turn outs mostly on Covid - 19 and that may be true. Still the interest must be present for people to participate and judging by 2020 we have a ton of interest.  The 2020 season kicked off March 23rd at Lake Murray in southern, Oklahoma. As normal...
