Mark Rose’s historic start to the 2017 FLW Tour season has catapulted the veteran pro to the top spot in the latest BassFan World Rankings for the first time in his career.
Rose won the season opener at Lake Guntersville then followed it up with a come-from-behind victory at Lake Travis in Texas in the span of three weeks this month, becoming the first pro to win back-to-back FLW Tour events in the circuit’s 22-year history. His triumphs led to a 42-position improvement in the World Rankings.
Rose is the third straight FLW Tour angler to hold the No. 1 ranking since May 2016. He supplanted Scott Martin, who fell 11 spots to No. 12 after an up-and-down start to the year.
"That's very humbling, knowing all of the great fisherman that I still to this day look up to and admire," Rose said Monday when informed of his assuming the top spot. "To be on top is very humbling. I'm very thankful."
Former World No. 1 Bryan Thrift, who finished 2nd to Rose in both FLW Tour events this season, improved two spots to 2nd while Jacob Wheeler, who won the Elite Series season opener at Cherokee Lake, moved up seven spots to 3rd.
Andy Morgan dropped two places to 4th and Greg Hackney moved up one spot to 5th after a top-5 finish at Lake Okeechobee this past weekend.
Ott DeFoe, the Elite Series points leader after two events, improved 21 places to 6th. The rest of the top 10 consists of: Scott Canterbury (no change), Jordan Lee (up five places), Randall Tharp (up 15) and Keith Combs (down five).
The next event that will impact the rankings will be the Harris Chain FLW Tour on March 9-12 in Leesburg, Fla.

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.
