On the strength of his first career victory followed by another Top-10 finish on the Elite Series’ recently completed West Coast swing, Justin Lucas leap-frogged his way 11 spots to the No. 1 position in the latest BassFan World Rankings, which encompass Elite Series stops at Lake Guntersville, the Sacramento River and Lake Havasu, as well as the Beaver Lake FLW Tour.
At 29, Lucas is the youngest angler to hold the top spot in the rankings, which originated in 2001. With three Top-10s already this year, including a win at the Sacramento River near his hometown and an 8th at Lake Havasu last week, Lucas bumped Andy Morgan down to the No. 2 spot and holds a slim 2 1/2-point lead over the two-time FLW Tour Angler of the Year.
Over the past 2 calendar years, Lucas has missed just two money cuts and has an average finish of 25.4 in 14 tour-level B.A.S.S. tournaments since the start of 2014.
Aaron Martens, the runner-up at the Sacramento River and winner at Havasu, shot up eight spots to No. 3 while Bryan Thrift moved up one position to No. 4. Matt Arey made a 10-spot improvement and is now No. 5 after winning the Beaver Lake FLW Tour for the second year in a row.
Former No. 1s Jacob Powroznik (No. 6) and Jason Christie (No. 7) each slipped a few spots, but still remain in the Top 10. Dean Rojas, the Elite Series AOY leader, made a 20-spot improvement up to No. 8 coming off three consecutive Top-12 finishes.
Wesley Strader, the FLW Tour AOY leader, held on to the No. 9 position while Greg Hackney fell seven slots to No. 10.
The next tournament that will impact the Rankings is the Lake Eufaula FLW Tour, set for May 14-17.

About the World Rankings
The BassFan World Rankings were created in 2001 to answer a simple question - who is the best professional bass angler in the world? - and to give fishing fans a way to track their favorite pros, as well as to show the non-fishing world that consistently catching fish isn't "just luck".
While the three leagues - Major League Fishing, B.A.S.S. and FLW - have their own single-year point races (called Angler of the Year races, which are not rankings), and "power rankings" have occasionally up in the sport, these are not World Rankings. World Rankings in all professional sports are complex, multi-year statistical endeavors simply because that's the only way to accurately and fairly show consistent performance over time.
Until BassFan did it, no one produced a statistical, multi-year ranking system for professional bass fishing using results from the top tours. These are the MLF Bass Pro Tour, Bassmaster Elite Series and FLW Tour. The BassFan World Rankings will also include results from other competitive (i.e., non-exhibition) tournaments that feature the world's top pros.
