There was no change in the Top 3 positions in the latest edition of the BassFan World Rankings, which will be the last for 2016. FLW Tour stalwart Scott Martin remains in the top slot, followed by FLW Tour Angler of the Year Andy Morgan and Forrest Wood Cup champion John Cox.
Bryan Thrift and Keith Combs each gained one spot, landing at 4th and 5th, respectively. The second half of the Top 10 is comprised of Greg Hackney (down two places), Scott Canterbury (up two), Justin Lucas (no change) Aaron Martens (down two) and Jacob Wheeler (no change).
Newly crowned Bassmaster Elite Series AOY Gerald Swindle stayed at No. 14. Seth Feider, who won last week's Bassmaster AOY Championship event at Mille Lacs Lake and was 2nd the previous week in the regular-season finale at the Mississippi River, climbed 68 places to 125th.
The next event that will impact the Rankings is the 2017 Bassmaster Elite Series season opener, set for Feb. 9-12 at Tennessee's Cherokee Lake.

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.
