   BassFan Rookie of the Year Race

 Davis, Wright Move Up

Oklahoma's Harmon Davis and Arkansas' Adam Wright moved up the most in the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race after the Lake Ouachita FLW tournament (no rookies made the Top 20 cut). Each climbed nine places, to 4th and 5th respectively.

The top three slots are still held by BASSMASTER Tour rookies, who have an advantage over FLW Tour rookies in that they have fished one more tournament.

Another significant move after the Ouachita FLW is that Oklahoma's Mark Goines climbed seven places, from 21st to 14th.

After stellar starts to the season -- 1st and 2nd at the Okeechobee FLW, respectively -- J.T. Kenney and Jimmi Leuthner hover in the top third of the Rookie Race.

Half of the FLW regular season is now over.

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).
