Aaron Martens, the 3rd-place finisher in the 2016 Bassmaster Classic at Oklahoma's Grand Lake, retained a firm grip on the No. 1 slot in the first reshuffling of the BassFan World Rankings this year. The new edition encompasses the Classic and last month's Lake Okeechobee FLW Tour.
Martens has an edge of nearly 10 points over Classic champion Edwin Evers, who moved up two places to 3rd. Sandwiched between Martens and Evers is reigning FLW Tour Angler of the Year Scott Martin, who finished 23rd at Okeechobee.
John Cox, the runner-up to Martin in last year's FLW points race, improved 17 places to 4th after his 12th-place showing at Okeechobee. Longtime FLW stalwart and former No. 1 Andy Morgan completed the Top 5.
Justin Lucas, Greg Hackney, Jacob Powroznik, Bryan Thrift and Shinichi Fukae comprise the remainder of the Top 10.
The next events that will impact the rankings are the St. Johns River Bassmaster Elite Series and the Lake Hartwell FLW Tour, both set for March 17-20.

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.
