Big O Showdown — Qualifier #3
Saturday, June 6, 2026 | Lake Okeechobee | Scott Driver Ramp
The 2026 Big O Showdown rolled into Qualifier #3 with 75 teams registered and 45 teams weighing fish at the scale — the third of four points events leading to the Two Day Championship presented by Vexus Boats in October. A tough bite sent a chunk of the field home early, but the teams that stuck it out put real weight on the boards.
Tanner Seabolt and Will Grace went back-to-back, putting a 33.44-pound sack on the scale — the biggest bag of the season so far and a nearly 3-pound margin over the second-place team.

Big Bass
Matt Burch and the Burch / Powers team took Big Bass honors with a 9.31-pound largemouth — the biggest single fish of the event and the kind of kicker that wins tournaments.
Team of the Year Race
Three qualifiers in the books and the lead has officially changed hands. Burch / Powers moves into the overall lead with 586 points after a runner-up Q3 to back up their strong Q1/Q2 — three top-3 finishes in a row.
Seabolt / Grace sits second at 569 points on the strength of back-to-back Q2 and Q3 wins. Schirling / Stevens holds third at 566, with Alfano / Newhouse fourth at 560 and Broughton / Monti fifth at 544.
With one qualifier left before the Championship cut, the top of the board is tight and the race for TOY honors is fully on.
