Kansan Brent Chapman finishes in 19th
Two other Kansans, Kingsley and Sprague remain in top 200
State Farm 2003 BassFan.com World Rankings
VanDam Again No. 1 In World After 2003 Season

The 2003 tour regular seasons and championships are over, and once again Kevin VanDam remains the No. 1-ranked angler in the world.

It would be tough to find anyone to whom that was a big surprise since VanDam is and has been fishing at a pace that is so far above his peers it's a little scary: This is the third straight year (the State Farm-BassFan World Rankings are only 3 years old) that VanDam has been the best in the world and he's never relinquished the No. 1 spot.

At one point during the season it looked like he would be overtaken. In April and May, VanDam posted his two worst finishes since mid-March (87th at the Clear Lake Bassmaster and 38th at the Lake Hamilton Bassmaster) and had just a 3 1/2-point lead in World Rankings points over Alton Jones. Jay Yelas was about 5 1/2 points away, and he and Jones were among those vying for BASS Angler of the Year.

But in the next five tour events, including both league championships, VanDam had three Top 10 finishes, a Top 20 and a 34th while Jones and Yelas didn't fish as well (or in some cases at all, on the FLW Tour). As a result, VanDam is back almost to where he started the season in the rankings, and now enjoys a double-digit points lead over No. 2-ranked Kelly Jordon though it should be noted that VanDam's points lead, while still large, has dropped significantly (almost 8 points) from the start of the season.

After the tour regular seasons were over, he said: "This was probably the toughest year for me for several reasons. Weather-wise it was a real tough season to fish. We had a lot of abnormal conditions at the places we went, and at every Bassmaster event this year it rained.

"It also was tough competing in both tours for all the events (15 possible events, from Florida to California). It was physically and mentally probably more mentally taxing. I have a routine I like to go through to be prepared for a tournament, and it takes time. But this year we had no rest period, no time to get set for the next one.

"And when you have a wife and two young kids at home wondering where dad is, that doesn't make it any easier," he noted. "So this season I didn't have the focus I normally have. It was the worst season I've ever had."

How does it feel being the No. 1 angler in the world? Does he feel any pressure to stay there?

"I really don't," VanDam said. "I just go out and try to win every time. Sometimes I miss the mark by a long way, which would hurt your standing in the world rankings, but I'm not really focused on that. You can't let that change the way you fish.

"Winning tournaments is a lot more important than where you're ranked, and the reality is that it's hard to win. Only one guy out of 175 guys will win every time we go out there, and if you start fishing conservatively you're not going to get there.

"At the beginning of my career I worried about cashing a check," he noted. "That helps you with the year-end standings, but it doesn't help you on the money list, that's for sure. Now I'm more mature, I guess, so I can take chances and take a shot at winning."

He reiterated that "most of the time you're going to fail. But occasionally the moon and the stars line up and it's your turn."

MOVEMENT AFTER THE FLW CHAMPIONSHIP

Following are the State Farm-BassFan World Rankings as updated after the 2003 FLW Championship on the James River. Bear in mind that FLW Tour anglers again have two championships in their scores (since the 2001 FLW Championship was cancelled) and some movement will occur because of that. Notable items:

> Kevin VanDam is No. 1 in the world for the second straight year. That means he has been fishing better than his peers for 4 consecutive years.

> Along with VanDam, Kelly Jordon was the only angler in the Top 5 to fish the FLW Championship, which likely helped him climb into the No. 2 slot.

> Tommy Biffle is back in the Top 10 at 7th.

> FLW Championship winner David Dudley has been gradually moving up in the rankings, and his win helps him crack the Top 10. He's now ranked 8th in the world.

> Clark Wendlandt is back in the Top 15 at 15th.

Also: As with every rankings update, counterintuitive movement can occur. This can be due to several factors, including: the tournament results dropped from 2 years ago (if applicable); and how anglers above and below an angler are fishing/adding/dropping.

9. Mark Davis Mt. Ida, AR 115.581

10. Dustin Wilks Enfield, NC 115.059

Notable:

> The most consistent (consistently high-finishing) pros in the world for at least the last 2 years are Kevin VanDam, Alton Jones, Tim Horton and Mark Davis.

> Anglers who started the season ranked in the Top 20 and who are still there include Gary Klein (was 18th), Jay Yelas (was 12th), Clark Wendlandt (was 7th, now 15th), Mike Wurm (was 6th, now 17th) and Brent Chapman (was 14th, now 19th).

> Texas still dominates the Top 10 with three anglers, but for the first time ever North Carolina has two anglers in the Top 10.

Biggest Moves Up

2. Kelly Jordon (from 23rd)

7. Tommy Biffle (from 28th)

8. David Dudley (from 59th)

10. Dustin Wilks (from 42nd)

11. Zell Rowland (from below 100)

13. Greg Hackney (from 49th)

14. Edwin Evers (from 65th)

16. Kenyon Hill (from 56th)

18. Dan Morehead (from 57th)

21. Ron Shuffield (was 90th)

38. Shaw E. Grigsby, Jr. (was 89th)

40. Andy Morgan (was 88th)

Notable:

> The higher an angler gets in the rankings, the tougher it is to move up because everyone around you is fishing well.

> Rowland, who had the biggest jump, came "from below 100" as the rankings only went to 100 at the start of the season. Now the Top 200 anglers in the world are ranked.

Biggest Falls

25. Dean Rojas (was 9th)

28. Aaron Martens (was 3rd)

29. Larry Nixon (was 4th)

35. Bud Pruitt (was 13th)

47. David Walker (was 15th)

57. Rick Clunn (was 5th)

Notable:

> Rojas, Martens, Nixon, Hite and Clunn all two-tour pros did poorly on the Bassmaster Tour this year.

> Pruitt started off the season well and was ranked in the Top 10 at one point, but bottomed out at the end.

> Walker wasn't as consistent as Pruitt, but followed a similar path. Three finishes below 100th and one 99th didn't help.

Best Debuts

The best debuts on the rankings, meaning the pros who accumulated 2 years' worth of tour finishes this year, are:

12. John Murray Phoenix, AZ Skeeter/Mercury

33. Roger Boler Slidell, LA Skeeter/Yamaha

Kansan Brent Chapman still in 12th
Two other Kansans, Kingsley and Sprague remain in top 200
State Farm 2003 BassFan.com World Rankings
VanDam continues as No. 1-Ranked Angler
after Classic

Following are the State Farm-BassFan World Rankings as updated after the Bassmaster Classic championship in New Orleans, La.

A few notes on movement:

> Kevin VanDam remains No. 1 even though he loses his Classic win from 2 years ago in the formula (the World Rankings use a rolling 2 years of data). However, his 15-point margin from before the Classic shrinks to less than half of that. To be caught in the rankings, he will have to stop being the most consistent high-finisher in the world, or someone else will have to surpass him.

> Alton Jones and Kelly Jordon were 2nd and 3rd in the world before the Classic, and are still there. But Jones finished 7th at the Classic to Jordon's 24th, which contributes to an increase in the points between them.

> Jay Yelas' points actually increase vs. his points before the Classic, but Gary Klein moves past him into 4th, in part due to Klein's 2nd-place finish (Yelas finished 19th at the Classic).

> Dustin Wilks and Zell Rowland crack the Top 10 for the first time.

> In part on the strength of a good end of the season, Kenyon Hill climbs from 26th to 14th in the world.

> Classic winner Mike Iaconelli jumps from 83rd in the world to 57th.

Calculation Notes

> Do not expect massive shifts in the rankings. The Classic receives a lot of hype, but statistically it is a tour championship. That means it receives more weight in the rankings formula than a regular-season event, nothing more.

> It will look like more Bassmaster Tour pros are in the higher slots simply because the FLW Championship hasn't been held yet.

> Some pros might move more than others after the Classic because they now have two Classics in their data whereas before they had just one (i.e., they didn't fish in the 2001 Classic, but did fish 2002 and 2003), and vice versa.

2003 BassFan.com World Rankings
VanDam is No. 1-Ranked Angler Again
Going Into Classic Championship

NEW ORLEANS, La., July 22, 2003 -- For an amazing third straight year, Kalamazoo, Mich.'s Kevin VanDam is the No. 1-ranked angler in the world going into the Bassmaster Classic championship tournament, which will be held here next week.

Because the statistical State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings use a rolling two years of tournament data, that means VanDam -- who is called the Tiger Woods of bass fishing -- has been fishing substantially better than his peers for four straight years. But this season was more difficult for him than the others, and at one point it looked like he might be caught in the rankings.

"This was probably the toughest year for me for several reasons," he said. "Weather-wise it was a real tough season to fish. We had a lot of abnormal conditions at the places we went, and at every Bassmaster event this year it rained. It was the Gore-Tex season.

"It also was tough competing in both tours for all the events (15 possible events, from Florida to California). It was physically and mentally -- probably more mentally -- taxing. I have a routine I like to go through to be prepared for a tournament, and it takes time. But this year we had no rest period, no time to get set for the next one.

"And when you have a wife and two young kids at home wondering where dad is, that doesn't make it any easier. So this season I didn't have the focus I normally have. It was the worst season I've ever had."

"Worst" is a relative term when it comes to VanDam. He finished 14th in the BASS points, and finished 22nd in the FLW Tour points though he only fished five of the six events. Also, in the last eight tournaments of the season, he had six Top 20 finishes, three of which were Top 10s.

"I just go out to do the best I can," he said about his No. 1 ranking. "This year, because of the weather and the schedule, I was fortunate that I didn't have any really bad tournaments. Also, the rankings are based over the last couple of years and last year was a pretty solid year for me. That's probably what carried me this year."

__________

A popular question is why Jay Yelas, the reigning Classic champ and current BASS Angler of the Year, isn't No. 1 in the State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings. Right now he is third, behind VanDam and Texas' Alton Jones. Following are some quick statistical notes on the matter, followed by Yelas feelings on the matter.

Statistical Notes

> Titles reflect performance, but don't tell the whole story.

> Right now, because the rankings use a rolling two years of data, both VanDam (2001 Classic winner) and Yelas (2002 Classic winner) have a Classic win counted in their world rankings points.

> This year Yelas was first in the BASS points and VanDam was 14th. Last year VanDam was second in the points (for the third year in a row) and Yelas was 27th. On the FLW Tour, this year VanDam finished 22nd in the points and Yelas finished 157th. Last year Yelas was first in the points, but VanDam was second.

> VanDam had six Top 20 finishes in the last eight tour events, and Yelas had three. Yelas also had a terrible finish (119th) at the second-to-last tour event of the season (the Kentucky Lake FLW) and didn't fish the last event (the Wheeler FLW).

> Bear in mind that the rankings are over a rolling two years, so there is a slight lag in some movement. Whether that means Yelas will move up in the future remains to be seen.

Yelas Statement

"I've talked to a lot of fans who wanted to know why I'm not ranked No. 1, but I think the rankings are dead on. I didn't have a spectacular year last year. I just had a spectacular tournament (the Classic) last year, and some good, solid fishing this year. And I ended up winning (BASS) Angler of the Year by a very small margin. Kevin and Alton have had higher average finishes than me. This year I bombed out on the FLW Tour, and last year I won FLW Angler of the Year and just did mediocre on the Bassmaster Tour. That's why I'm down a little in the rankings."

About the Rankings

The State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings are the only statistical world rankings of professional fishermen, and are the sport's official rankings thanks to their endorsement by the Professional Anglers Association, the player's association of professional bass fishermen. The rankings are based on angler performance on the Bassmaster and FLW tours. These are the top tours in the sport and attract the top fishermen. The BassFan.com methodology ensures that anglers who fish only one tour are not at a disadvantage versus anglers who fish both tours. Rather, anglers who fish more events (or both tours) have more chances to move up or down than anglers who fish fewer events.

New Jersey-based BassFan LLC provides the world's only daily coverage of professional fishing. Its website, BassFan.com, receives more traffic than any other fishing website in the world, and is home to the State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings.

June 25, 2003 - Following are the State Farm-BassFan World Rankings as updated after last week's FLW Tour event on Wheeler Lake. (Editors: Please refer to the rankings as the State Farm-BassFan.com World Rankings or the STATE FARM BassFan.com World Rankings. Thank you.)

Notable items:

> Kevin VanDam is once again comfortably in the No. 1 slot after a 4th-place finish at Wheeler. That was his third Top 10 finish in a row, and second Top 10 finish out of the last three. He continues to outfish his peers, and for an amazing third straight year will be the No. 1-ranked angler heading into the BASSMASTERS Classic.

> Alton Jones and Jay Yelas sat out the Wheeler event and paid the price in the rankings. Kelly Jordon, who had been ranked 4th, gained on his fellow Texans and Skeeter/Yamaha pros. While Jones missed the last two FLW events and Yelas finished low at Kentucky Lake and didn't fish Wheeler, Jordon finished about 100 places higher than Yelas at Kentucky Lake and was 17th at Wheeler. In part because of that, he moves past Yelas in the rankings into 3rd and is a mere point behind Jones, in 2nd.

> Gary Klein, who has been alternating bad finishes with Top 20 finishes, hangs on to 5th.

> Thanks in part to a 2nd at Wheeler, Tim Horton moves back into the Top 10 in 7th (he had been 16th).

> Tommy Biffle finished 10th at Wheeler and also climbs back into the Top 10, in 9th (he was 15th).

> FLW Angler of the Year Dan Morehead didn't fish well at Wheeler, but moves up 8 spots to 17th.

> Wheeler winner Aaron Martens climbs from 39th to 21st.
