Herren Widens Lead





After the last three tour events -- the California Delta and Clear Lake BASSMASTERs, and the Beaver FLW -- FLW rookie Matt Herren of Trussville, Ala. still leads the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race, and has widened his points lead over Oklahoma B.A.S.S. rookie Jeff Reynolds. Also, California rookie Mike Reynolds is now just 0.25 points behind the other Reynolds (no relation).

Though the season is over for some B.A.S.S. rookies, the two Reynoldses will be fishing the last two events of that tour. Likewise, FLW rookies still have two events to fish.

Note: Similar to the State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings, the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race formula basically uses an average with bonuses for winning and placing in the Top 20. So fishing more events (for example, making the B.A.S.S. field cuts or fishing two tours) only means that a pro has more chances to move up or down in the standings.

Rookie trivia:

> Two-tour Pennsylvania rookie Dave Lefebre has more Top 20 finishes this year (3) than any other rookie.

> So far Florida B.A.S.S. rookie Terry Scroggins still is the only rookie to win a tournament this year.

> B.A.S.S. pro Mark Kile is not part of the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race because he had fished an FLW Tour event before this year.

About the ROY Race
The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race/Award recognizes the best rookie in all of tour-level professional fishing for the current year or season. Unlike the league rookie races, only true rookies are eligible: To qualify as a rookie for the BassFan race, a tour angler cannot have fished the pro (boater) side of any Bassmaster or FLW tour/series-level event before.

  • BassFan Rookie of the Year Race points are calculated using a methodology loosely similar to the BassFan World Rankings (points based on finish with bonuses given for winning and finishing high). Only regular-season events count. Championships do not.
     
  • The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race was created in 2002 as the first rookie race in professional bass fishing. Like Rookie of the Year awards in all sports, it recognizes top-performing newcomers to the professional ranks.
