Remitz Pulls Away From Thrift





The race between BASS rookie Derek Remitz and FLW Tour rookie Bryan Thrift was a 4.30-point game a few weeks ago, but after the Bassmaster American Major at High Rock and the Wal-Mart Open at Beaver Lake, Remitz is all by himself again. He finished 44th at the American (out of 51 boats), and Thrift finished 95th at Beaver (out of 201 boats), but when it all shakes out, Remitz now leads by 19.50 points.

Other notable movements:

> Casey Ashley didn't fish the American. He retains his 3rd-place position, but now trails Remitz by nearly 38 points.

> Bryan Hudgins was previously tied with Ashley, but drops a spot to 4th. He didn't fish the American either.

> Andy Montgomery, who led day 1 at Beaver and eventually finished 5th, climbs eight spots to 5th.

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.
