Alabama BASS rookie Derek Remitz continued his tear with a 2nd-place finish at the California Delta Bassmaster Elite Series, and is still perched far atop the BassFan Rookie of the Year Race with a 15-point lead.
Fellow BASS rookie Marty Robinson moved up six spots after his 15th at the Delta, and James Niggemeyer climbed 10 spots with his 11th at the Delta (after a disastrous last-place finish at Amistad).
Two events this week will influence the Rookie Race – the Clear Lake Bassmaster Elite Series and the Ft. Loudoun–Tellico FLW Tour. That should create significant movement in the standings, especially in regards to FLW Tour rookies.
