Every tournament has its favorites to win. Some look at local pros as the favorites. Others go by past performances. Yet others simply go on hunches.

We go by numbers, and we have plenty of them. Hence the series “Data Overload.”

Before every Majors event, we want to use our database of stats to figure out who really are the favorites at any given event. We want to know if locals really hold the edge, or if time of year makes a difference with certain pros. We don’t want opinions. Just stats.

Are you ready? Then let’s start crunching for the Bassmaster Classic.

Last week was a busy one. The next two will be worse.

In the last week we had a new No. 1 angler in the world (Kevin VanDam), some major shifting in the Majors World Ranking and now, we’re only days away from the Bassmaster Classic.

Before we talk about our Classic coverage, we did want to touch upon the Bass Open from a week ago. With all the chaos following the FLW Tour Open at Okeechobee, the Central Open at Lewisville kind of got lost. So we wanted to find it. It is a Movers & Shakers article after all.

In case you didn’t hear, some guy named Kevin VanDam is the new No. 1 ranked angler in the world after last weekend. We guess it’s kind of a big deal.

In all seriousness, though, it is a big deal, which is why we devoted Monday’s Movers & Shakers article to the news.

Now, it’s Randall Tharp’s and the rest of the competitors’ turns from the FLW Tour Open at Lake Okeechobee.

No one could have predicted it would happen this soon, but the day has finally arrived.

After a week at the top of the Majors World Ranking, Mark Rose, along with Andy Morgan and Brent Ehrler all faltered at last weekend’s FLW Tour Open at Lake Okeechobee.

That means, for the first time since Bass Rankings’ launch, VanDam is the No. 1-ranked angler in the world.

Choke Canyon. Amistad. Falcon.

Each lake by itself is one of the top bass fishing destinations in the country. Combined, they represent the best chain of lakes in the world right now.

No other river chain offers the chance to catch as many or as big a fish as the triple threat running up and down the Rio Grande River. They are the best of the best.

So after the FLW EverStart last weekend, we wanted to know who was the best on the best.

Don’t worry Minors anglers. We didn’t forget about you.

In Monday’s Movers & Shakers article, we focused solely on the Majors instead of the usual double duty. But when a new No. 1 Majors angler in the world is crowned, we had to devote the entire article to Mark Rose.

Now, it’s the Minors’ turn.

It has finally happened.

Lake Shasta in years past has always meant two things: Spotted bass and finesse plastics.

Then the FLW EverStart occurred last week, yet again proving no body of water seems immune to the productivity of the Alabama rig.

Only time will tell if what occurred at Shasta will happen elsewhere this season (though word is it already has in jackpot tournaments). However, Shasta has long been one of the best spotted bass fisheries in the country; a fishery with unique patterns that hone the top finesse anglers.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at the best anglers as Shasta since 2000 by clicking the Lakes tab.
