Lane Extends Lead





FLW Tour rookie Bobby Lane didn't fish last week at the Harris Chain Bassmaster, but his lead increased because Bassmaster Tour rookies as a whole didn't do so well at the Harris Chain. Lane's 8-point lead is now almost 40 points over Pennsylvania's Dave Wolak, who remains in 2nd. Other notable movement:

> Arkansas' Chip Hawkins jumps nine spots into 4th after a 23rd at the Harris Chain.

> California's Greg Gutierrez jumps 17 slots into 9th after finishing just out of the cut (13th) at the Harris Chain, the best finish of any true rookie.

FLW Tour rookies have another shot at moving up or down this week, as that tour visits Lake Toho.

(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.)

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).
