The action kicked off with competitors departing from Ingalls Harbor at safe daylight. The first boats returned for weigh-in at 3 p.m.
Anglers weighed in their best five fish, while co-anglers presented three fish. The individual contest ensured fair play, with anglers competing only against other anglers, and co-anglers against co-anglers.
Along with the prize money, the winning angler and co-angler earned a coveted spot in the 2026 B.A.S.S. Nation National Championship at Lake Eufaula. From there, the top three anglers in the national championship can advance to the ultimate stage in bass fishing: the B.A.S.S. Masters Classic.
