Derek Remitz stumbled a bit at last week's Guntersville Bassmaster Elite Series, and that opened the door for those beneath him to make up some ground. Remitz still leads the race, but look at Bryan Thrift, who finished 10th at the Norman FLW Tour. That finish – Thrift's second Top 10 of the season – moves him up from 4th to 2nd. Just as important, it narrows Remitz' lead from a previous 17.5 points to just 4.3 points.
> Casey Ashley, who was previously 2nd, drops to 3rd after a 70th-place finish at Guntersville.
Other significant movements include:
> Elite Series rookie James Niggemeyer's been wildly inconsistent so far, but does climb one spot to 9th.
> Matt Amedeo, also an Elite Series rookie, improves two spots to 10th after his 55th at Guntersville.
> A 187th at Norman drops Frank Meyer six spots to 15th.
