    Kevin VanDam is still to this day the GREATEST BASS ANGLER OF ALL TIME! Just watched him rack up another top 15 in the MLF Redcrest Championship. He never slows down. I remember watching this tournament and wanting to go down to Toledo Bend to try and catch fish the way he did in this tournament. I bought my first big cranking stick right after this tournament as well. Never gets old

    It's crazy how different this lake looks compared to how it did when I was growing up there in the 70s. The place was basically a flooded forest. We lived right down the road from Pendleton Harbor on the Texas side, and when you crossed that long bridge there were trees everywhere. You had to run in a boat to the Louisiana side to get north of that area. Crazy.

  • @arciefan
    @arciefan 7 років тому +18

    Thanks so much Bassmaster for posting this. Congrads KVD for an awesome victory. Not just Kevin obviously , but he's probably taking the worst of the spectator boats . No way in the world I would do that to someone. Geez if you've got the money to follow someone around in your big bass boat yourself, you would think you would be courteous and smart enough to stay TOTALLY out of there way. Watch the weigh ins, watch it on TV, watch it on YT, but come on put yourself in that situation and realize that following these pros around the lake and getting in there way is just wrong.

      I agree with ar these guys go through a lot to make this happen and too much is at state including millions of dollars,and endorsements also like KVD said"you dont come across these opportunities everyday" even the best in the world had that much to admit,the sport is very beneficial to the economy in our country as well as other countries for that matter and also when im fishing though im no pro or tournament angler i wouldn't get in anybody's way it's just rude and nobody should ever have to tell you that!

      That's true they don't own the lake, but everyone with half a brain knows that you don't go near someone when they are on a spot fishing. Assholes do that When they are jealous because someone is catching fish right in front of them and they can't catch shit.

    They need to just ban spectators following the anglers, and use drones to cover the footage where spectators can watch back at the pavilion on big screens. I know they can't stop people from fishing public water, but just keep them from fishing right on top of the guys like that. It will increase their sales, keep the anglers more focused, and people wont fish the hell out of the spots.

    When the bite is good you can use anything but when the bite is dead, use frogs or worms. No weights on the worm. This means you need to use a ZEBCO spin cast reel. Yes I said it. You can cast a weightless worm a mile with one of those reels. The drag is smooth and you will have no trouble landing a large fish. I caught big pike on those reels 30 yrs ago when they were junk. Now they are much improved and very smooth. The drag is very nice and adjustable. No shame for being resourceful!

      @BassmasterOfficial  7 років тому +13

      We host catch-and-release tournaments. The fish are kept in livewells and in tanks until after they are weighed, and then we release them back in to the lake. I don't have stats on hand for all of our tournaments this year, but at one of the hottest events of the season 96% of the bass caught during the four day tournament were released alive and well. - Sara

I've was a B.A.S.S. member since Ray Scott launched it..and even way back then, B.A.S.S. was about catch and release. :) And my how you have grown. Good Stuff.

    • @deionramsey1640
      @deionramsey1640 7 років тому +1

      With the technology their putting into the livewells like flowing water, ph and oxygen levels inside water, ect most fish survive. I think it the fish that are gut hooked, gill hooked, the hooks down their throat and people use pliers further injuring the fish, and just improper hookset is what leads to the fish dying.
