Consecutive single-digit finishes in Bassmaster Elite Series events have pushed Jacob Wheeler back to the top slot in the BassFan World Rankings. He supplants previous No. 1 Kevin VanDam, who slid three places to 4th in the newest edition.
Wheeler holds a lead of slightly more than 1 point over FLW Tour stalwart Bryan Thrift, who posted a 5th-place showing in that circuit's regular-season finale at Lake St. Clair.
Wheeler logged placements of 5th at the Mississippi River and 7th at Lake Oahe. VanDam, who took over the No. 1 position in the Rankings for the first time in 6 years in the previous edition, was 34th at the Mississippi and 63rd at Oahe.
Casey Ashley (9th at the Mississippi and the runner-up at Oahe) made a massive jump from 17th to 6th. Oahe winner Mark Daniels Jr. climbed from 31st to 15th and Chad Grigsby, the winner of the St. Clair FLW Tour event, catapulted from 162nd to 100th.
Skeet Reese, who logged finishes in the 70s in both the Mississippi River and Oahe derbies, dropped from 8th to 24th.

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.
