Jordan Lee and Edwin Evers have ridden victories in the first two Bass Pro Tour events to the top of the BassFan World Rankings.
Lee improved 22 spots to take over the top spot for the first time after posting a win at the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and following it up with a 6th-place showing at Lake Conroe. Evers, meanwhile, climbed 27 places to 2nd on the strength of a runner-up finish at the Kissimmee Chain and a win at Conroe.
"I've always seen the guys who have been ranked number one when they're fishing at the top of their game and you want to be there just once, just to say that you were," Lee said. "With it being the only legit way to track who's fishing the best at the time, it's definitely special to say you're the number one angler in the world at the time."
Bryan Thrift dropped one spot to 3rd while Chris Johnston improved 14 spots to 4th thanks to two top-10 finishes in his first two Bassmaster Elite Series outings. Jacob Wheeler, who finished 2018 in the top spot, slipped to 5th in the first ranking of 2019.
Brent Ehrler moved up nine places to 6th while Jason Christie (7th), Justin Lucas (8th) and Josh Bertrand (9th) remained in the top 10. Former No. 1 Scott Martin jumped three spots to 10th following two top-25 finishes to start the FLW Tour season.

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.
