Following are the BassFan World Rankings as updated after the recent Champlain FLW Tour. Notable movement:
The Top 6 remain unchanged, although Brent Ehrler, who finished 22nd at Champlain, slips further behind No. 2 Skeet Reese. The difference between 2nd and 3rd is now about 2 points.
Luke Clausen is fishing quite well. Of his six FLW Tour finishes this year, three were 13th or better (including a 10th at Champlain), and his worst was 35th. He improves two spots in this edition to 7th in the world.
BASS pro Mike Iaconelli didn't fish Champlain but drops two spots in this edition, largely based on movement around him.
BASS pro Mike McClelland moves back into the Top 10 with a one-spot climb to 10th.
Jacob Powroznik finished 49th at Champlain and slips two spots to 14th.
After his Kentucky Lake trainwreck, Anthony Gagliardi rebounded with a 2nd-place finish at Champlain. That helps him climb 18 spots to 19th.
After a 27th at Champlain, veteran Ron Shuffield improves nine spots and is now ranked 23rd.
Jay Yelas is peaking at the right time and carries significant momentum into next week's Forrest Wood Cup. He finished 4th at Champlain, and with help from a previous 6th-place Beaver finish, moves up 14 spots to 27th.
Champlain winner Scott Martin rockets up 62 spots to 38th.
Only two events remain this season that'll affect the World Rankings - next week's Forrest Wood Cup in Pittsburgh and the Oneida Bassmaster Elite Series 2 weeks later.
