Reese Overtakes Ehrler





Following are the BassFan World Rankings as updated after the Mississippi River Bassmaster Elite Series and Kentucky Lake FLW Tour.

> A 28th at the Mississippi isn't a stellar finish for No. 1-ranked Kevin VanDam, but he still dominates the World Rankings and shows no sign of letting up.

> There's a shakeup in the battle for No. 2 and Skeet Reese comes out ahead. Reese finished 29th at the Mississippi (ironically, one spot behind VanDam) and moves up into the No. 2. spot. Reese bumps Brent Ehrler, who finished 58th at Kentucky Lake, down a spot to 3rd.

> A 10th-place finish at the Mississippi helps Alton Jones improve two spots to 4th in the world, while Aaron Martens and Todd Faircloth each drop a spot to 5th and 6th, respectively.

> A 13th at Kentucky Lake helps Luke Clausen ascend seven spots to 9th in the world.

> Bobby Lane finished a forgettable 74th at the Mississippi and slips four spots in this edition to 13th.

> Kelly Jordon's runner-up finish at the Mississippi was his third Top 10 in four events and he improves 10 spots to 14th in the world.

> Mississippi winner Kevin Short rockets up 38 spots to 19th.

> Kentucky Lake winner Keith Williams soars 69 spots to 79th.

> The Bassmaster Elite Series now breaks for nearly 2 months until its regular-season finale at New York's Lake Oneida in August. The FLW Tour fishes New York's Lake Champlain next month to end its regular season.
