Wheeler Regains Top Slot

On the strength of 5th- and 1st-place finishes in the back-to-back MLF Bass Pro Tour events at Table Rock Lake, Jacob Wheeler has moved back into the top slot in the BassFan World Rankings. He supplants BPT Angler of the Year Edwin Evers, who slipped to No. 2 with finishes of 24th and 42nd at Table Rock.

Brandon Cobb and John Cox also dropped one position each to 3rd and 4th, respectively. Aaron Martens, the winner of the first Table Rock derby, climbed 25 positions to settle in at No. 5.

The remainder of the top 10 consists Jordan Lee (6th), Ott DeFoe (7th), Jacob Powroznik (8th), Bryan Thrift (9th) and Brent Ehrler (10th).

Jamie Hartman, winner of the Lake Guntersville Bassmaster Elite Series, gained 39 spots to 14th. Lake Champlain FLW Tour winner Casey Scanlon moved up 82 places to 103rd.

The next event that will impact the Rankings is the FLW Cup, set of Aug. 8-11 at Lake Hamilton in Arkansas.

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.



How

Here's a brief overview of what's involved in calculating the BassFan World Rankings. (For confidentiality reasons, the proprietary methodology won't be discussed in detail.)


  • The rankings are based on angler performance in top-level Bass Pro Tour, B.A.S.S. and FLW events. These events are the top competitions in the sport and attract the top fishermen.
  • Events are weighted based on strength of field (calculated using the BassFan World Rank of everyone in the field) and size of field, meaning that it's easier to do well in smaller-field events than larger-field ones.
  • Bonus points are given for winning and for placing in the top 10 percent in all regular-season events. No bonuses are given for league Angler of the Year awards, points or standings because that data is already accounted for in the World Rankings methodology.
  • Championships are treated differently than regular-season tournaments.
  • The BassFan World Rankings methodology ensures that anglers who fish only one circuit are not at a disadvantage versus anglers who fish more than one. Rather, anglers who fish more events have more chances to do better (or worse) than anglers who fish fewer events. A simple example: six 5th-place finishes are better than three, and four 100th-place finishes are worse than two.
  • The rankings use data from the current and immediately prior years only (a rolling 2-calendar year cycle).
  • The rankings are not an indication of who is/was the best bass angler ever. That is not a World Rankings. It's a list.
  • As with all World Rankings in all sports, the methodology used in the BassFan World Rankings calculation will change over time based on feedback from interested parties.
  • Bassmaster Opens, FLW Series (formerly Stren/EverStart) and Bass Fishing League (BFL) tournament data are not included in the BassFan World Rankings because these are "minor-league" or "triple-A" events.
