KVD Very Nice

Master tips

I have your jersey or one of them. I have a ton of KVD lures and baits. But my favorite KVD item, would be my signature series baitcaster reel and glass rod. Still break it out once in a while today.

My inner voice always makes fishing decisions based on What would KVD do. Absolutely the goat. However, when it comes to spinnerbait colors, I have to go old school and follow the guidance from Hank Parker. Color don’t matter. You can use chartreuse and white or you can use white and chartreuse, makes no difference. 😁

Wow . Nice catch Buddy

Kevin, my Uncle Kevin was a MASSIVE fan of you. He passed away last July on his way home with a buck on back of my 4wheeler(this is why you wear helmets on ATVs people!). I found one of his KVD hats with your signature on it and got me back into bass fishing. Wish it was possible to buy one of your old combos you don't use anymore. I would love to get one and pass it down to my nephew when he gets older. Now we are all fans of you and watch your vids often. Thanks Kevin!

How many sonar screens does someone need? Maybe we should put Apple AirTags on all the fish just to simplify things.

Yep, that’s a good one.

I fish mostly where bluegill is the main forage so what color do you think is the best for me to use ?

👍👍👍👍👍

I was beginning to think Ray was being excluded for some reason. He loved "The Kalamazoo Kid"! I am honored to have witnessed it all. From "Team Grandma", to "The VanDam Experience" that will be airing soon. You have taught me so much, not only about bass fishing, but how to understand REALLY why we do what we do. The LOVE of FISHING. You exemplified the modern bass fishermen in his most perfect form. My hat's off to you, Sir KVD, please, give us more!!!!

cameraman way too cool in the beginning

You are the GOAT!!

Nice

Nice fish

They are so expensive now, so I still make my own! Started in 1972 in high school with the original Okibug blanks and buy the other components. You can also use the large Beetle Spin attachment and buy lead head jigs and paint them the color of choice. The new ones look great with the head shapes, eyes and scales, but most are around $7-$10 each which is absurd! To me they are mostly a reaction bait and I seem to catch just as many if the color combo is right. Red head with white skirt is my favorite buzzbait of all time!

Do you always use a trailer hook on your spinnerbaits?

Was a winner announced?

Too bad Strike King stopped making the KVD spinnerbait selector. Tried to find one with no luck. Bringing that back would help their spinnerbait sales because there’s so many options besides most guys just buying a 1/2 oz chart/white double willow.

Now time to discuss what type of trailer & color, if any. Fishing Lake Michigan as I do also, it can be windy. Got almighty it can it get rough. So a good action trailer is paramount.

I enjoy learning from the greatest person/ angler to ever play the game especially when it's One of The greatest baits ever made ..I just love a spinnerbait . thanks for all you've done/doing for the sport ..

Kvd one of the greatest to ever do it plus he's one heck of a good man competitor father husband great role model for us all work hard 💪 see what you might get.

First 🙌🏻 thx for the info KVD! #theGOAT

There is definitely a reason for you being the G0AT. Thanks for the tip

A senko or a spinnerbait??? Tough pick!! Ribbontail worm or a topwater frog??? 1.5" diving crankbait or a lipless crankbait?? Senko would be my pick overall but only in my favorite two colors. Lol.. Fish on!!

KVD you are the master of Bass fishing. Huge fan thank you bud 🎣👍🏻

Global warming Man!

Thanks for the memories, I’ve always enjoyed fishing with my family from a young age. Seeing the level of bass fishing as a young teen, sparked my interest/love in the sport. Rushing my parents after Sunday service just to get home to catch up on the Bass Masters to see you get a win. Thanks for all the great information and insight on the sport of bass fishing.

Amazing vid, keep them coming!

Love what you said @1:35 about it swimming straight like a minnow does. The more natural it looks the better. Great video, Kevin! 😅

I dont think you have anything left to prove kevin i know its gonna hard to quit tournament fishing as a whole ..man that was a fast 33 years i rememeber when you first started keep rolling man 👊

KVD, thanks, brother. I have rooted for you for a long time. Blessings !!

Great stuff! Can't wait for the KVD experience

I met Kevin when I fished a BASS Pro Am at Lake Seminole in 1995. He was just getting started but was very cordial and took the time to talk for a few minutes. Awesome guy!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to go out with pro fisherman spend a day have catch some biggins

I think he knows Mike Murphy mp Murphy contractor in paulsboro nj

Can't fish yesterdays fish

Keep kickin ass KVD.

Good luck out there KVD. Hope to see you on TV. A bill dance type thing maybe. 😊

Thanks for all the awesome memories. Can't wait to see the new kvd show

I’m an older man at 51,but I’d still love to help the KVD foundation in anyway I can.Wether that’s wrapping my boat or setting up tournaments and even knocking on doors to help.I just wanna keep repping the brand or foundation.Youve done so much for our industry.Now that I’m older it’s time for me too to give back.An what better way than helping out one of the people ya looked at and lived your own dreams through!👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for all the great memories and so glad to know you will be around the business, a lot of these younger anglers could learn respect for their fellow angler and the sport🎣

Love the KDV stuff.and Baits.

The Greatest Ambassador, simplest as that. Keep them coming, can’t wait to see your ownership in the industry

Thank you Kevin for so many great memories.. I almost had the opportunity to meet you in person in Lake Eufaula, Alabama, but couldn’t quite get to you.. my hero I will truly miss you from Fishing

Awesome Job Kevin. You Da Man!!!

To me, the best part of the video is the opening. To watch KVD grow up through pictures and videos of his childhood all the way to championships is awesome!! KVD has lived most of our dreams, and got to spend his life on the water doing what he loves. They say when you can make a living doing what you love, well, that's not work at all.

What i think the best part is how they always talk about how he made time for family. Me personally i think family is the biggest part is most people success.

I've been watching KVD all my life! What can you say he's the best angler ever!! Thank you for the memories sir!! Now please get some of your pro buddies and go start a league without livescope and ffs! Bring back fishing sir! Bassmaster is a joke! No patterns and boring to watch!! Please save Bass fishing someone!!
