Kevin VanDam

Raise an eyebrow toward KVD

Bass fishing is not the next NASCAR because we don’t get 100,000 people to our weigh-ins. Kevin VanDam is not exactly the Tiger Woods of the sport. No disrespect to Tiger, but KVD dominates more, in a more demanding sport.

Wow! Here we go. Kevin VanDam is the point of this outburst.

Why isn’t KVD ever in that “breaking news” box on ESPNNews?

Actually, I know. It’s because it’s just not on anyone’s radar.

But why isn’t it?

I know that answer as well. Most people just don’t understand what KVD is accomplishing. In the world of professional bass fishing, most competitors strive for good finishes and maybe one win every 5 years. I’m betting that professional golf is about the same.
