John Ackerman You could go to his home lake and fish from the bank when hes home. So right about now you thinking WTF is he talking about? Well when kevin gets home and goes fishing on the lake he lives on he likes to find sombody fishing from the bank and just pulls up and says....hey would you like to go out on the boat and fish with me for a while? YES he is that nice. 2 other sports people i know for a fact that would go out of there way and go the extra mile just to be nice are CAL RIPKEN JR AND DALE EARNHARDT SR. Im sure there is other sports people who are good folks but these 3 i have witnessed several things they have done. And have a very reliable source with kvd. people like them deserve there success.
This is The King landing Fence Pandas. Definitely the GOAT. 2 years in a row he finished 2nd at BASS Fest. I'm baffled why he hasn't won in a few years. The big reason is that he has a fleet of spectator boats that follow him and that has to affect the fish, with all of the trolling motors going on and off all the time. Then, you factor in all of the time he spends with sponsors and the developing of new products. It's no wonder he doesn't have any time to pre-fish or practice. For 99% of my crankbait fishing, one of his Strike King lures is on the end of my rod. I love to use his Quantum 5.1:1 reel for cranking. It gets the lures to the proper depth and are very reliable. He has a nice marshal with him as well.
Wow, what kind of lure is that? He works the snot out of that lure. Very aggressive, and then pauses it for an eternity like it's a plastic. But I think it's a crank? I feel like I will catch more fish just by watching this video. He does things in this video that no one does. This is the first KVD video where I get why he's the best.
FishingThePNW he can still do some how to with lure info, how he's working the bait, etc. It's not a live television feed. It's a Gopro. Footage doesn't have to be released for weeks (or even years) later.
KVD the Best... If he would have did this here in Cecil County He would have picked off some bigger bass than that. We have the Ledges, and we have the fish down on them Ledges here too. Way to go KVD ........
Are you saying that's the only reason they have days like that? I have a fish finder and have been fishing my whole life and have never done that well in that short of an amount of time. It's a skill set of its own just learning how to properly understand the subtleties of sonar.
Unexpected Farts so true depth finders are hard to understand and finding what to look for but once you have it down it's easy but if you try to argue that they don't make a dramatic difference especially with the electronics on kvd has your a fool and I to just push away that comment is foolish it would be very interesting to see these guys fish with electronics not saying they aren't talented but it would help anglers how don't have 10k to spend on fully loaded electronics
hes basically forcing them bass to bite. causing a reaction bite, i was able to talk to kevin yesterday about the gear and technique. such a cool guy, thanks for your time and knowledge kevin at the D and R sports center seminar!
We've seen this video countless times and it never gets old! Just KVD showing everybody why he is the greatest of all time in this sport 🐐
Kevin VanDam has to be the best professional bass fisherman by far! I would love to fish with him one day

John Ackerman he might retire but he has the record of most classic wins but Scott Martin is the best right now
@@carterboaz7876 Scott Martin is awesome but he's not kvd.

I wonder if he still surprises himself or if he just knows that he is always going to catch'em. Truly a master at the art of tricking fish to bite.
Much respect for this guy
Thumbs down were fish and everyone he beat in the tournament! Great video
This is why he is the best at what he does.
The G.O.A.T
Truly a legend
sir plz need some tips for golden mahseer fish
KVD whatta BEAST!
KVD + fishing rod is like Joe Satriani + guitar
your the man.
Dat boy no wat he do !

my man kevin on the ledge n shit

great to watch KVD catch all those fish but it would be nice if we saw some how too. What he was doing, how he found them ect.
You realize this is during a tournament right? He's not supposed to be talking about what he's doing, how he found them etc.
FishingThePNW he can still do some how to with lure info, how he's working the bait, etc. It's not a live television feed. It's a Gopro. Footage doesn't have to be released for weeks (or even years) later.
This dude makes a statement from the trler hitch to the dock and will only get better fish on🎣
🐐🐐🐐
Kvd with the hair jig
@Destiny Hall
Mad respect for knowing about hair jigs and ledge fish. Tight lines!
nice fish
What rod do use deep cranking?…..?……?
KVD the Best... If he would have did this here in Cecil County He would have picked off some bigger bass than that. We have the Ledges, and we have the fish down on them Ledges here too. Way to go KVD ........
where is this at
Lol he just drops his rod like oh well I couldn't do that not on my worse day! He is good tho!
I would love to see one year of Pro fishing without electronics!

eenrique 405 They don't bite depth finders.
Unexpected Farts so true depth finders are hard to understand and finding what to look for but once you have it down it's easy but if you try to argue that they don't make a dramatic difference especially with the electronics on kvd has your a fool and I to just push away that comment is foolish it would be very interesting to see these guys fish with electronics not saying they aren't talented but it would help anglers how don't have 10k to spend on fully loaded electronics
Rain Storm I have a 300 dollar helix, thats a fraction of 10k. I have days like this too. It doesn't take 10 grand in electronics.
That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. KVD would kick your ass graphs or not.
sweet KVD
Wonder were this was filmed at kinda looks like ky. Lake
Wide angle lens makes you look like you are surfing
Big ‘Un.
I've spent years and 10's of thousands of dollars and I've never got on fish that big like that ...
nice
What bait is he using where he lets it sink to the bottom..... cranks it 8 times.... let's it sink again.... ???
Cason Diablo Hair jig? What size is good for ledges?
It's a crank bait he's getting bit on the pause when it comes off the bottom.
That his wife ?
Is that lady his marshal?
Lebron James of bass fishing
Steph curry now
No. Lebron James. haha
No you mean Lebron James is the KVD of basketball.
+Sammy Donsky Haha steph curry?? Fucking pathetic
nicksimmons_fishin How many championships has Lebron got? Dont think as many as the 7 time master here......
Almost as good as the 15 year old from Cali with the 15.12
what was that quick reel technique
+cheerokeepeacemaker , stop and go
that's how you fish a hair jig. fish will generally eat it on the fall.
Chris W is that what he was using on that crank 'n pause technique? Do you know of a good one I can check out on tackle warehouse?
hes basically forcing them bass to bite. causing a reaction bite, i was able to talk to kevin yesterday about the gear and technique. such a cool guy, thanks for your time and knowledge kevin at the
D and R sports center seminar!
anyone know what lake this is on?
Kentucky Lake
I have a Kevin vandam spinnerbait
