MLF Bass Pro Tour anglers Jacob Wheeler and Edwin Evers have opened up a considerable gap between themselves and everyone else in the newest edition of the BassFan World Rankings.
Wheeler, who finished 19th in the recent BPT Redcrest Championship, retained the No. 1 position. Evers, the Redcrest winner and also the circuit's initial Angler of the Year, stayed in the No. 2 slot, but gained almost 9 points from the previous edition.
Jamie Hartman jumped 11 places to 3rd with his second Bassmaster Elite Series win of the season at Cayuga Lake. Jacob Powroznik and Ott DeFoe round out the top 5.
The rest of the top 10 consists of Aaron Martens, Jordan Lee, Brent Ehrler, John Cox and Brandon Palaniuk.
The next event that will impact the Rankings is the Fort Gibson Lake Elite Series, set for Sept. 19-22.

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.
