It all comes down to this.

The eight anglers fishing in the Championship Round on Lake Winnebago in eastern Wisconsin are:
The goal of the Championship Round is a simple one— be the lone angler at the top of SCORETRACKER® at the end of three periods of fishing. The angler with the highest total weight at the end of the day will take home the Challenge Cup trophy. Like the previous rounds, a scorable bass must weigh 1 pound or more.
Evers, Hackney, Lee, Morgan and Omori have all captured MLF wins in their respective careers while Connell, McClelland and Neal are each looking for their first piece of MLF hardware.
In Sudden Death Round 2, we witnessed Greg Hackney register his second winning round of the tournament by being the first angler to reach the 22-pound Target Weight. Hackney also won Elimination Round 3 to get him into the Sudden Death Round. The anglers who also found their way to the 22-pound target weight the quickest were Dustin Connell, Jordan Lee and Mike McClelland.
