The top of the State Farm-BassFan World Rankings don't change much after last week's FLW Tour event at Florida's Lake Toho. That basically means that hardly anyone at the top who fished the event did well or poorly enough to move a whole lot. Notable items:
> The Top 4 in the world -- Skeet Reese, Greg Hackney, Kevin VanDam, Dean Rojas -- stay the same. But Hackney and Rojas, who fished last week, do move up a little in the points. Rojas is now just 0.03 points behind VanDam.
> The rest of the Top 10 don't change, but they do move around a little. A 20th at Toho helps Brent Chapman move up two spots into 8th, and a 41st contributes to red-hot David Walker dropping three spots to 10th.
> There's no notable movement until below 20th place. Jay Yelas jumps eight spots into 23rd mostly because he dropped a 161st-place finish at the Atchafalaya FLW from 2 years ago.
> Peter Thliveros drops seven spots to 25th in part due to a 115th-place finish at Toho. He won at the Harris Chain during the prior week, and often that's what happens: a win at a Bassmaster Tour event, which ends on Sunday, can impact practice and tournament performance at an FLW Tour event that begins on the following Wednesday.
> Dave Lefebre, John Murray, Scott Martin and Matt Herren, all of whom fished the FLW, all move up 6 spots to 34th-37th in the world respectively.
> Clark Wendlandt, who started the season ranked 15th in the world, freefalls again, this time to 40th. He's had two uncharacteristic below 100th-place finishes so far on the FLW Tour.
> A 7th at Toho helps Dan Morehead climb 12 spots to 47th in the world.
> Mike Iaconelli's been fishing okay on the Bassmaster Tour, but on the FLW Tour he's had a 180th and a 190th. Those finishes help him fall 26 spots this week to 62nd in the world.
> Toho winner Tom Mann Jr. jumps 28 spots to 66th 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.
