Lowen Still Leads, But Lead Decreases





Cincinnati Bassmaster Elite Series rookie Bill Lowen still leads the BassFan Rookie of the Year (ROY) Race, but his 10-point lead is now down to just 3 points after he posted his second-worst finish of the season (56th) at last week's Oneida Lake event.

Fellow Elite Series rookie Jared Lintner, of Arroyo Grande, Calif., finished 20th in that event and remains 2nd in the ROY standings.

Oklahoma's Brad Hallman and Louisiana's Jeff Connella remain at 3rd and 4th, and are six and 12 points behind Lowen, respectively.

Major Top 10 moves include:
> Darrin Schwenkbeck of Silver Spring, Md., who moves from 10th to 5th thanks to a 31st at Oneida;
> Canada's Jon Bondy, who finished 22nd at Oneida and moves up six places to 8th in the race.

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). Any use of BassFan content not explicitly permitted by BassFan is a breach of copyright law and will be prosecuted as such.
