The following is a look Toyota Angler of the Year standings for the top 10 as they were after the last tournament, at Cayuga Lake on August 25th, and as they are now, after two days on Lake Tenkiller. Remember that AOY points aren’t earned until each angler’s place in the final standings is determined. In other words, the “now” column will change tomorrow, unless noted, and won’t be official for some of these anglers until after Sunday’s weigh-in.
For example, if Chris Zaldain finishes first Sunday, which is where he is now in the Tenkiller standings, he will earn 100 points and have an official total of 753. And if Drew Cook finishes third Sunday, where he is now, he’ll earn 98 points and officially have a total of 758. Scott Canterbury can improve considerably on his current 29th-place in the standings, or he could fall another six spots to finish 35th, which is worth 66 points.
AOY points for each Elite Series tournament are awarded in descending order from 100 points for first place to 26 points for 75th place (provided the angler weighs-in at least one bass over the first two days; no fish, no points).
