Lakeland, Fla.'s Bobby Lane has been on fire in Florida. As an FLW Tour rookie, he finished 7th at Okeechobee and 3rd at last week's Toho FLW. He leads the FLW points and is walloping everyone in the BassFan Rookie of the Year (ROY) Race. His closest competitor in the ROY Race is Kentucky's Ramie Colson Jr., who is 32 points behind.
The big question is whether Lane can keep up the pace in the final four events of the FLW Tour season given that those events aren't in Florida.
Other rookies also did well at last week's Toho FLW:
> An 11th helps Idaho's Ken Wick jump 10 slots into 3rd.
> A 5th-place finish helps Texas' Toby Hartsell jump 11 places into 6th.
The next place for rookies to shine is next week's Guntersville Bassmaster.
(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.)
