STATS KEY
AOY Points Percentage( max possible: 1,400) – Percentage of total possible AOY points available that were earned by each angler. Top-10 Percentage – Percentage of the time the pro made the top-10 cut. Top-20 Percentage – Percentage of the time the pro made the top-20 cut. Check Percentage – Percentage of time the pro earned a check. Qualifying Round Improvement – Average change in position within the standings from day one to day two. Interpretation: Most pros don’ t make the top-20 cut to fish the weekend, so they really make their living in two days of competition. A positive number might suggest that the pro is a slow starter, or that he’ s skilled at interpreting fish on the fly during tournament hours and adjusting from day to day. A negative number could mean the pro struggles with adjusting to changing conditions, or that he swings for the fences and occasionally misses. A low number near zero indicates consistency but doesn’ t necessarily mean the angler is consistently good. Historical Average AOY Finish Differential( current average: 20.57) – Number of places separating each angler’ s average tournament finish from the historical average tournament finish among AOY winners. Interpretation: In some cases anglers who don’ t contend for AOY in a given season might have contended in a different season. Missed Fish Opportunities – Number of additional fish that the pro could have weighed in during tournament competition, had the pro weighed a limit at every opportunity. Possible Fish Percentage – Percentage of fish that a pro weighed in out of the total number of fish that the pro could have weighed in.

MISSED FISH OPPORTUNITIES
Only Bryan Thrift and Mark Rose managed to catch a limit every day that they fished this season. Jeremy Lawyer, who finished 28th to make the Cup, could have weighed 16 more bass if he’ d caught a limit every day he fished. That’ s the most by anyone who made the Cup. average Fish size the average weight of keeper bass weighed in by pros during the regular season of the 2017 flW tour was 2 pounds, 7 ounces. Bryan thrift caught the most total weight in 2017, with 341 pounds, 1 ounce. that’ s equivalent to 139.92“ average bass” over the course of the year, yet he only actually weighed in 115 bass. he was around fish of better quality.
