With the Bassmaster Tour long over, Pennsylvania Bassmaster Tour rookie Dave Wolak doesn't have any more shots to improve his standing in the BassFan Rookie of the Year (ROY) Race, which crowns the best rookie in all of tour-level fishing. Nevertheless, his lead increased this week.

The reason? FLW Tour phenom Bobby Lane had his second consecutive below-90th-place finish at last week's FLW Tour event on Alabama's Wheeler Lake. He falls from 8 points behind Wolak to 21 points behind. In fact, Lane is now 3rd in the ROY points, behind fellow Floridian and Bassmaster Tour rookie Preston Clark, in 2nd.

With just one regular-season event to go, it looks like Wolak, who was the BASS rookie of the year, will be crowned the best tour rookie in fishing for 2005.

> The only major move in the points this week is by Roseville, Calif.'s Michael Bennett, who finished 2nd at Wheeler. That finish helps him jump 10 spots to 9th in the standings.

(PLEASE NOTE: Richard Bennett of Roseville, Calif. was incorrectly listed as an FLW Tour rookie this year. He is the same person as RJ Bennett, who was a Bassmaster Tour rookie in 2004. He has been removed from the 2005 ROY standings, and the remaining rookies have been re-sorted accordingly. Any discrepancy between the text above and the standings below is due to this re-sorting.)
