Despite losing out on his bid for a second career FLW Tour Angler of the Year title, Bryan Thrift has moved back into the No. 1 slot in the latest BassFan World Rankings.
Thrift’s 74th-place finish at the Potomac River was his lowest finish since the Lake Hartwell FLW Tour to start the 2014 season, but the rest of his body of work over the last two calendar years was strong enough to lift him to the top of the rankings for the third time in his career.
He last occupied the No. 1 position in March 2011.
“It feels awesome,” Thrift said. “It’s definitely a conversation piece. To be able to show that sort of consistency over the last 2 years, that’s what I feel you have to do to make it out here in the industry. I just hope to keep it going into the (Forrest Wood) Cup and then into next year.”
Thrift has amassed seven Top-10s and two wins over the last two years and will be seeking his fourth straight Top-10 finish in the Cup at Lake Ouachita in August.
Newly-crowned FLW Tour AOY Scott Martin moved up 11 spots to No. 2, 9 points behind Thrift. His 6th-place finish at the Potomac was his 11th finish of 17th or better over the last 2 years.
Elite Series pro Aaron Martens held onto the No. 3 slot, while most recent No. 1 Justin Lucas slipped to 4th. Andy Morgan, coming off an 81st-place finish at Lake Chickamauga and a runner-up showing at the Potomac, dropped three spots to 5th.
Jason Christie (6th) and Jacob Powroznik (7th) traded places in the rankings while Dean Rojas held onto the No. 8 ranking. Cody Meyer jumped up two places to 9th and Brent Ehrler advanced six spots to round out the Top 10.
Among the biggest movers up the rankings were FLW Tour pro John Cox, who moved up 52 spots to No. 24 and Lake Chickamauga FLW Tour winner Michael Wooley, who shot up 131 places to No. 51.
The next event that will impact the rankings is the St. Lawrence River Elite Series, set for July 30-Aug. 2 at Waddington, N.Y.

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.
