Big O Showdown — Qualifier #2
Saturday, May 9, 2026 | Lake Okeechobee | Scott Driver Ramp
The 2026 Big O Showdown rolled into Qualifier #2 with 97 anglers registered and 64 teams weighing fish at the scale — the second of four points events leading to the Two Day Championship presented by Vexus Boats in October.
Tanner Seabolt and Will Grace took the win, putting a 30.55-pound bag on the scale — the only 30-plus sack of the day and a more-than-2-pound margin over the second-place team.

Team of the Year Race
With two qualifiers in the books, the TOY race tightens. Alfano / Newhouse moves into the overall lead with 394 points after a 5th-place Q1 finish followed by a runner-up Q2. Schirling / Stevens sits second at 388, with Burch / Powers right behind at 387.
Q1 winner Toad Patrol (Coleman Roberts) did not fish Q2 — a reminder that the TOY title is won on consistency across the season, not on any single event.
