For the first time in the history of the State Farm World Rankings, Kevin VanDam has fallen out of the Top 10 in the world. Two tournaments ago, VanDam fell to the lowest he’d ever been – 3rd in the world. But after a 74th at last week’s Guntersville Bassmaster, on the heels of an 98th at the Harris Chain Bassmaster, VanDam falls nine spots to a shocking (for him) 12th in the world.
That’s the big story in the World Rankings this week. Other Top 10 movement:
> Skeet Reese remains No. 1 in the world after a 36th at Guntersville, which incidentally was his worst (and only non-Top 20) finish in six straight events, starting with last year’s Eufaula Bassmaster.
> Greg Hackney hangs on to 2nd in the world. But since his best finish in five events fished this year is a 37th, right now he appears to be trading on his stellar record from last year. He needs a good finish to stay up high.
> A 9th at Guntersville helps Gerald Swindle jump up three slots to 3rd in the world. Incidentally, Swindle, who was last year’s Bassmaster Angler of the Year, is also 3rd in the current Bassmaster points, behind Reese (2nd) and Takahiro Omori (1st).
> Dean Rojas and Omori remain in 4th and 5th. Kelly Jordon didn’t have that great a finish at Guntersville, but moves up one spot into 6th.
> David Walker moves up into 7th, though not because of Guntersville where he finished 76th.
> A 14th at Guntersville helps Aaron Martens get back into the Top 10 in 8th, and Brent Chapman falls one spot into 9th.
> A 16th at Guntersville (his worst finish this year was a 36th) helps Marty Stone debut in the Top 10 at 10th.
Other notable movement:
> A 92nd at Guntersville helps Alton Jones fall out of the Top 10 for the first time in a while. He's now 15th in the world.
> Jay Yelas gets his best finish ever at Guntersville (21st) and moves up five spots into 18th.
> Guntersville winner Zell Rowland jumps up 10 places to land at 21st in the world.
> Mark Davis gets a 93rd at Guntersville, his first finish under 100th this season, and falls again – this time 11 places to 22nd in the world.
> Luke Clausen is fishing well this year, and a 22nd at Guntersville helps him rise nine spots to 24th in the world.
> An 8th at Guntersville helps Davy Hite reverse his Florida freefall, and he rebounds to 26th.
> Arizona's Mark Tyler is quietly fishing well so far, and this week bumps himself up 16 slots to 30th in the world.
> A 10th at Guntersville helps Jason Quinn get over a bad Harris Chain event and helps him leap way up to 40th in the world.

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.
