John Cox's win at the Lake Hartwell FLW Tour moved him up to 2nd place in the latest edition of the BassFan World Rankings. He's about a point and a half behind leader Aaron Martens, who was 52nd in the Bassmaster Elite Series season opener at the St. Johns River.
Cox's jump pushed former No. 2 Scott Martin (18th at Hartwell) down one place. He's followed by Bassmaster Classic champion Edwin Evers and a rejuvenated Bryan Thrift, who gained four slots with a 5th-place showing at Hartwell.
St. Johns runner-up Greg Hackney is 6th, followed by Jason Christie and Andy Morgan. Justin Lucas and Dean Rojas round out the Top 10.
Rick Clunn, the 69-year-old, four-time Bassmaster Classic winner, climbed 71 spots to 107th with his victory at the St. Johns (his first B.A.S.S. triumph since 2002).
The next event that will impact the Rankings is the Winyah Bay Bassmaster Elite Series April 7-10.

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.
