Jacob Wheeler's huge lead at the top of the BassFan World Rankings has been reduced by approximately one-third following his 43rd-place finish at the recent Bass Pro Tour event in Texas. Still, his margin over new No. 2 Ott DeFoe, the winner of the Texas tournament, is more than 20 points.
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Stetson Blaylock held tight in the No. 3 position. Jacob Powroznik and Jeff Sprague round out the top 5.
The remainder of the top 10 consists of Edwin Evers, Jordan Lee, Michael Neal, Seth Feider and Scott Canterbury.
In major moves among the top 20, Andy Montgomery climbed 14 places to 17th and Mark Daniels Jr. is up 16 spots to 19th.

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.
