Jacob Wheeler, the No. 1 angler in the BassFan World Rankings for the past year and a half, will take an advantage of nearly 40 points over fellow Major League Fishing competitor Ott DeFoe into the 2021 season.
Bassmaster Elite Series angler Brandon Palaniuk climbed 15 places to 3rd in the final Rankings edition of 2020, which encompasses the four rescheduled Elite Series tournaments that took place this fall. Palaniuk won one of those derbies (Santee Cooper Lakes) and added a 4th-place finish in the recent finale at Lake Fork.
Elite Series competitor Stetson Blaylock, who posted finishes of 9th or better in three of the final four events, moved into the Top 10 at No. 6. Patrick Walters, the runaway winner at Fork, gained 42 places to 15th.

About the World Rankings
The BassFan World Rankings were created in 2001 to answer a simple question - who is the best professional bass angler in the world? - and to give fishing fans a way to track their favorite pros, as well as to show the non-fishing world that consistently catching fish isn't "just luck".
While the three leagues - Major League Fishing, B.A.S.S. and FLW - have their own single-year point races (called Angler of the Year races, which are not rankings), and "power rankings" have occasionally up in the sport, these are not World Rankings. World Rankings in all professional sports are complex, multi-year statistical endeavors simply because that's the only way to accurately and fairly show consistent performance over time.
Until BassFan did it, no one produced a statistical, multi-year ranking system for professional bass fishing using results from the top tours. These are the MLF Bass Pro Tour, Bassmaster Elite Series and FLW Tour. The BassFan World Rankings will also include results from other competitive (i.e., non-exhibition) tournaments that feature the world's top pros.
