(Editors: Please note that the BassFan.com World Rankings are not a subjective poll, “power index” or “power rankings.” The BassFan World Rankings are statistical (objective) World Rankings of professional bass anglers. Like all World Rankings in all sports, the BassFan.com World Rankings also use performance data over multiple years as that is the only way to gauge consistency. And because of the non-standard nature of pro bass tournaments, the BassFan World Rankings methodology is at least as complex as world-rankings methodologies used in other sports.
