Leuthner Leads FLW Rookies

In the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race, B.A.S.S.-only rookies still hold the Top 5 slots with Ohio's Frank Scalish in first. Again, as the BASSMASTER Tour has held four tournaments and the FLW Tour has only held half that amount, B.A.S.S. rookies are expected to dominate the point standings until the number of events levels out.

On the FLW side, though David Cochran's 12th-place finish was the best of any rookie at the Lake Wheeler FLW, Jimmi Leuthner (who finished 73rd at Wheeler) is the highest-ranked FLW-only rookie after two tournaments.

But Virginia's John Crews, who finished 32nd at Wheeler, is only 10 points behind.

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.
