Scott Martin is no longer the FLW Tour's reigning Angler of the Year – he surrendered that title to three-time winner Andy Morgan at the regular-season finale at Lake Champlain. However, Martin's victory in that event has pushed him to the top of the BassFan World Rankings for the first time ever.
This edition also marks Kevin VanDam's return to the Top 10 for the first time in 3 years. The sport's all-time leader in victories and earnings checks in at No. 8 after picking up his second win of the year in the Bassmaster Elite Series event at Cayuga Lake.
Martin has a lead of about 1 1/2 points over Morgan. Greg Hackney, who might've returned to the top slot for the first time in a decade if not for his day-1 disqualification at Cayuga that left him with a 107th-place finish, now sits in 3rd.
"I'm truly excited," Martin said of his ascension to the top. "I've been all over that list and I've come as close as 2nd before, but it's been another goal of mine to get to the top of the BassFan Rankings. I think it's an honor and I'm going to fish as hard as I can to try to stay there."
Previous No. 1 John Cox dropped to 4th after finishes of 90th at Kentucky Lake and 36th at Champlain. Reigning Elite Series Angler of the Year Aaron Martens rounds out the Top 5.
The remainder of the Top 10 consists of Bryan Thrift, Keith Combs, VanDam, Jacob Powroznik and Edwin Evers. Nine members of the Top 10 (Combs is the lone exception) have held the top ranking at one point or another since 2006.
VanDam climbed 12 places in this edition. Other big upward movements among the Top 25 were made by Shinichi Fukae (26th to 12th), Jacob Wheeler (25th to 11th) and current Elite Series AOY leader Gerald Swindle (29th to 17th).

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.
