Jacob Wheeler's 3rd-place finish at last month's Bassmaster AOY Championship event at Georgia's Lake Chatuge has pushed him back to the top slot in the final edition of the BassFan World Rankings for 2018. It's the third time this year that Wheeler has occupied the No. 1 position.
Previous leader Bryan Thrift dropped to 2nd and Brandon Palaniuk gained one place to 3rd. Josh Bertrand, who left the AOY Championship early to be with his pregnant wife, is down two places to 4th. Jason Christie, who finished 5th at Chatuge, jumped four places to 5th.
The remainder of the top 10 consists of Kevin VanDam, new crowned B.A.S.S. AOY Justin Lucas, Chatuge winner James Elam, Cody Meyer and Bradley Roy. Elam's victory catapulted him 23 places from 31st.

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.
