A 12th-place finish at the recent Forrest Wood Cup allowed Scott Martin to retain his hold on the top slot in the latest edition of the BassFan World Rankings. Events since the previous edition that impact the Rankings were the Cup, which was contested at Alabama's Wheeler Lake, and the Potomac River Bassmaster Elite Series.
Martin has an advantage of a little more than 3 points over Andy Morgan, a previous Rankings kingpin who's won three of the past four FLW Tour Angler of the Year titles (Martin won the other). Cup winner John Cox, who had a stint at No. 1 earlier this year, moved up from 4th to 3rd, swapping positions with Greg Hackney.
In other notable movement:
> Potomac River winner Justin Lucas gained a whopping 17 spots to No. 8.
> FLW Tour stalwarts Scott Canterbury and Jacob Wheeler moved into the Top 10 – Canterbury rose two places to No. 9 and Wheeler gained four spots to 10th.
> Kevin VanDam, who's won two regular-season Elite events this year and has spent far more time at the top of the Rankings than any other angler, dropped from 8th to 17th with a 99th-place showing at the Potomac. VanDam's appearance among the Top 10 in the previous edition was his first since 2013.
> Second-year pro Jordan Lee debuts inside the Top 20 at No. 19 (up seven places). Lee is 7th in the AOY race and is riding a streak of three consecutive placements of 9th or better.
The next event that will impact the Rankings is the Mississippi River Elite Series, set for Sept. 8-11.

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.
