Fukae On Top Again





Following are the cross-tour BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race standings as updated after last week's FLW Tour event on Beaver Lake. Notable items:

> Japan's Shinichi Fukae is once again in the lead. He recovered from a 71st at Old Hickory with a 6th at Beaver.

> With a 12th at Beaver, Arkansas' Ray Scheide moves up one spot into 2nd.

> A 190th at Beaver causes Florida's Glenn Browne to fall two places into 3rd.

> Steady performances help Virginia's Jacob Powroznik and Missouri's Jackie Davis move up 3 spots each into 4th and 5th respectively.

> BASS rookies Mark Shepard and Jason Reyes each move up two spots into 8th and 9th thanks to poor performances by some FLW rookies.

> Beaver winner Tim Klinger, from Nevada, jumps up 10 slots into 13th.

Two more FLW Tour events remain, after which the BassFan Rookie of the Year Race is over for 2004.

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.

Everything on BassFan.com, including BassFan Radio and the various BassFan ranking methodologies, is copyright BassFan LLC except where noted (notably photo credits). Members of accredited media may use BassFan content with few restrictions (see the Media Center page for more details).
