There are also several new changes to the schedule such as long standing Toadfest and Dogs Days online events have changed to 1 month adding 2 additional events now known as Spawnfest and Summerfest. The OKA has also added the Big Bass Clash, a 2 day event right in the middle of the schedule. Anglers can qualify for the Big Bass Clash by scoring a 20", bass in Toadfest or Spawnfest.
