  • MLF pro Kevin VanDam had a very impressive win at the 2016 Summit Cup with 40 fish weighing 74 pounds, 9 ounces. This video is from inside KVD's boat for all of Period 2. It's long, but worth a watch.

    This is why I used to love Saturday mornings on the old network TNN (The Nashville Network). You could watch hours of Bill Dance Jimmy Houston Roland Martin and Bassmasters we need more of this but with the newer legends of the sport

    I was watching CZcams videos at 3:30 a.m., fast forward 3 hours later and I wake up to this video. I've been fishing and have some great memories. Nice video though, regrettably, I gotta wake up now... Later.

    17:45 Whenever I have weeds/grass on my lure, I always hit the lure on the water kinda hard to knock it off very fast n easy. Nice to see KVD doing this too! It's a really great tip and saves you a ton of time and effort!!

  • @phillamoore157
    @phillamoore157 Před 9 měsíci

    It's amazing to watch legends work. BIG difference between recreational fishing, and tournament fishing. What surprised me most is how much time he spent working that area. Anyone else know what he kept looking at? It was like he kept looking over his shoulder like he was expecting someone to take a swing at him....a really strange paranoia (for lack of better words).

  • @TheTodd2u
    @TheTodd2u Před 6 lety +10

    I like how he sat the spinning rod down and picked up another one, until competitors boat passed. That is old school tournament angling at it's finest. He keeps his head on a swivel also. He checks his 6 often.

    i like these videos much better than the edited made-for-tv versions. you actually learn MUCH more from the time they AREN'T catching fish. cant hardly stand to watch ESPN fishing cause every time the camera changes to another guy you know he's a half second away from setting the hook, and that doesnt teach anything.

      @jeffwerth2707 Před 5 lety +1

    Is the camera guy wearing a life vest while KVD is running full speed? Couldn't see one, but maybe I'm just missing it. Love the video, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw no life vest.

    • @manifestgtr
      @manifestgtr Před 5 lety +1

      Honestly, forget about gear and just learn about fish behavior. Learn what they see, how they perceive your lure, what makes them hit, where they go and when they go there. It also doesn’t hurt to “specialize” in a few techniques. Myself...I’m way into flukes, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and frogs. Because I know, with those baits, I can get a knee jerk reaction out of certain fish...even ones that aren’t interested in feeding.
      And if you MUST obsess over gear, shimano makes the best reels, closely followed by daiwa and abu garcia. Get yourself a shimano slx or two...maybe a curado or an aldebaran down the road and you won’t be sorry. As far as line goes, moss green monofilament works for 90% of your applications. Straight 50lb braid for topwaters, frogging and close quarters cover.

    Funny how this boat up front looks compared to his new one. Spot lock trolling motor, two big screen fish finders, and live scope, yet he is hammering the fish just fine with this set up. If I had rods close to me like that, I'm too clumsy, I would step on them and break them, or if they're hanging out over the water like that , I would kick them out. Not even a butt seat is he using. My balance is pitiful.

      You'd think they carry everything in the world with them but a heavy boat can't get just anywhere. I've come to realize from seeing these guys fishing over the years that time is money and if its the last one you have and its catching fish, you'd go swimming for it. Timmy Horton may be able to talk him into a Money Pole!
