Really shows you how fast he actually fishes!
That was a pretty awesome video.
Way too fast for my taste! lol. I really can appreciate it though, it'd wear me out doing that all day. Only time I get this fast is when the bite is on and I know I've got the right bait.
He Did and it was.
its fuuny i was watching this video and i was like this lake look really fimilar scrool down and it was my home lake.
Mike Paoletta I think this is awesome and I think we can learn a couple things from this as well
He does everything so fluently. Lands, unhooks and releases fish all in one motion, immediately gets another cast out. Nothing but pure experience. I hope to be half as good as him when im his age.
TheUnluckyFisherman His efficiency is unreal. I have friends that say I fish too fast sometimes, this gives me confirmation that I could fish even faster. That crankbait is humming along when he is the one casting.
Like most things in life, fishing is a bit to do with math. He is probably making 20-40% more casts per opponent on average. That style would tire a lot of people and that leads to a tired mind as well.
ant banks Oh i agree. He always looks like the hamster is on the wheel in his head. It's all about the mentality on the water.
***** It all depends on conditions

Cool to have this video pop up on our recommended videos 7+ years after it came out! Crazy to think that KVD is still winning tournaments and doing well in tournaments nowadays fishing this same way! KVD is the GOAT 🐐 for sure!
He always makes it look easy
He’s a machine I was out there when this took place. Now I really know why KVD is called Dr. Crankingstine
Consummate professional✌🏼👌🏼
KVD is an absolute machine!! Absolutely no time wasted between casts. He is truly the most efficient angler I’ve ever seen TV or otherwise l!
i really wish there was more videos like this !!! if there is pleas
recommend me people
This is an awesome video! We need more of these!!
92 cast were made in this video by van dan 👍🏾🤓 am i crazy for counting them??
I like MLF's format - catch - weigh - release. Each angler gets updates when others catch fish. I guess they get a 2 minute penalty if the fish touches the boat
Is the penalty only for sudden death? Is there a rules official in each boat at all times?
Do you still have to measure?? 12"??
Steve Dykstra there is always a penalty
Mr. Skeptical there is a 1 pound minnimum
@@sammy02807 some events 2 or even 3 lb minimum (heavy hitters) - but the anglers voted on this. I notice they no longer have to sign a sheet in the 2019 "post season" airing in 2020....that was kinda dumb
My arms got tired just watching him.....Just goes to show how someone on the pro level is like a machine!
Hours and Hours of fishing practice. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. One time I seen him cast a KVD Smoke S3. Never put his thumb on the spool. It wouldn't backlash. It wouldn't backlash! So every one who hates on Quantum. Check that out. KVD is a Fishing Machine. My Father during the 70's. Work all night. Get home load a station wagon up. Put the boat on the hitch drive to Lake Monroe in Indiana. Fish from Sun up to well after dark. Load up. Drive 2 hrs. Unload the boat. Get clean up. Then go to work again. After casting a Black lew's reel and rod hundreds time's. Never complained about his wrist hurting. His biggest bass over 10 pounds. But a bunch of them 7,8 and 9 pounders. Oh, A 6 pound Smallie from the Tippecanoe River also. He was the best weekend Fishing Warrior. I ever saw. How do I know. I was the 12 year old with him. I can throw A baitcaster all day and into the night. If you love something like fishing it's the fun of it. That keeps me going back again and again. R.I.P. H.E.Beck.
Any one else feel like a lazier fishermen watching this? He looked like a casting machine!
This is the coolest thing ive ever watched
The greatest ever ... Intensity....only 1....KVD
Targeting specific pieces of cover within a long strech of structure. The impressive thing is the focus of every cast. At list three or four casts on the same angle to the same spot moving 180 degress of target....very consistent. It is obvious that the key cover is within the first few seconds after the crankbait lands....hits or impacts the cover and he fast cranks for the next casr. KVD has certainly master the correct reel gear ratio and the speed of his right hand...the rotation speed of that handle is identical on each cast. This style of power fishing is not for everyone....knowing that he has been doing this for a long time and at that pace....it is amaizing his right shoulder hasn't go yet. Anyhow.... no doubt that was very productive 21 minutes
Nothing like a tournament anglers efficiency, hardly any downtime. Make the most of the time you've got.
Look at how focused he is! Truly a legend among legends. And of course that square bill! XD
The man is a fishing MACHINE! Awesome!!!
This is when quality takes a back seat to quanity.
This bass can be a little peaky not easy to catch especially in the middle of the lake
こんなに急いでるのに水面近くでバスを放す優しい男
Man, I know this is a sudden death round, but I don't think I have ever fished that fast! He is a machine. You could just **feel** his intensity.
All the people blasting his gear...not 1 of them would ever do 1/10th of what he's done with gear that costs 10x as much...I'd give him my son's spidey rod and he'd outfish every one of them on their home lakes...smh
Bryan Tillery haha...love it...well said man.
It doesn't change the fact that quantum reels don't hold up. But way to stand up for a man.
@@oldpop788 You couldn't be more wrong! Quantum makes reel's for the average Joe fishermen. KVD took that fishing gear and kicked everyones Ass! With it! I dont like KVD because he jumped ship and went to Lew's after 29 years. He left the average Joe fishermen in the lurch. We bought his name brand becuse he took the not so expensive brand and kicked Ass. He went and let money over rule his thinking. Now its Gerald's turn at bat . Long live Quantum! Team Zebco! Shawn
@@shawnbeck2303 bruh, KVD is Strike Kingwho was just bought out by LEWS, it’s a no brainer that he switched, Hackney did too and now Swindle is with 13Fishing. Money talks, and no one will say they wouldn’t jump either. Besides his Tour KVD rods, the rest of that Quantum gear is crap, now he can at least sell something worth the money!
@@sjbelaire67 I believe you have your opinions. That's cool. I only fish Quantum. I have a hard time believing you ever used any of Quantum product's. I have fished their products only for a while. Everything from the Pluse to the KVD Smoke Pt S3 baitcaster. I have caught over 200 Largemouth bass in a 3 year period. From 1 pounders to a 6 pounder. The reel's never failed on me. Not one time. Yes, I tore down each winter each baitcaster reel's. Greased and oiled. Never touching the reel's till after January. So tell me again! Why there junk. That they don't hold up. The best bang for your buck reel's by far. Not the most expensive or best made. For sure! I forgive KVD and Gerald. You were right about the money. But, KVD won all that money and those many, many, many tournaments with what? QUANTUM ROD'S and Reel's. So at least give Quantum it's do! Please! Shawn
Did the official really say the scale was old lol
amazing how he covers waters and that knot has to be strong enough to support all those castings
no wonder why he get to win the championship. while most of us make one cast, he have already made 10 cast and reeled in.
Very interesting how many casts he'll throw to an area!
That thumb control is insane.
KVD is a BASS Catching Machine.
You the Man KVD!!
Man he fishes fast! Really helpful video!
Man I’m getting carpel tunnel on my wrist just watching him ! 😂
Lol at the amount of people in these comments trying to critique kvd
Jake gentry No Shit, Lmao he's the best for a reason, just sit back and take notes!
There needs to be more videos like this one. Not hearing the fucking annoying Dave Mercer is so relaxing.
SaltF4 yeah and not hearing a bunch of fucking annoying EDM music is good too
es estresante....
Look at the flick of the flick of the wrist
Glad I'm not the only one who can catch the crap out of dinks.
Wow Kevin. There is no way that i could keep gunning at those fish like you did. I normally pull up on a spot and i cast 15 to 30 times and there's no bite I'm gone. Man you have the patience of a god and the ability of the best athletes ive ever seen. You have really taught me a lesson. If more people would pay attention to this then they would catch more fish. Btw Kevin i know you have to be careful when releasing fish with this format but i have reviewed every video that i come across with you and your you have always released fish just like you were in a MLF tournament. My hat comes off to you sir.
KVD was fishing the hell out of that Quantum Tour MG. That’s a badass reel. Still trying to find one on sale. Quantum makes gear reels. Just gotta do monthly maintenance.
LOL at all the people here posting advice for KVD.
Makin that reel Zing !!!
Awesome
Weigher guy whats goin threw your mind?
Kvd i just want a bite
Me lets go to the mac donalds so i can pick some knowledge out of you on spinner bait tips and you can get a bite....
After watching this video, I can see hoe KVD might have a hard time throwing a Texas Rig
+Hunter Gray The kvd perfect plastics ocho baits are wicked though.
I know they are.
KVD IS A BEAST!
If I try to cast like that I just backlash all to hell haha
practice, but his technique is pretty damn good!
Increase the freespool drag on your baitcaster. The higher the setting the less likely you are to birdsnest (though you will also decrease your casting distance).
+sdpy15 yeah I know but I like to keep it pretty loose so I can get good distance. I don't need to make 5 casts a minute like he does haha
TarHeelsFan23 xx Use 20 or 30 lb spider wire braid and you can increase your casting distance by 15%.
Tackle BC spiderwire makes some of the worst line in the industry, next to Stren.
thats my favorite 1.5 color ! river minnow !
Born to cast catch and collect the cash!!
He has to get his reels super tuned before all events, boca bearings and all, not saying anything bad about quantum I love my pt energy but I could see him doing upgrades with his so they stay smooth longer.
With certainty, there were no fish left behind in the making of this video.
Kevin always talks about being efficient, wow. Cast per minute is crazy.. Thanks for this view!!
I wonder how many reels he wears out in a season? Incredible concentration and efficiency!
Ya no shit. that Quantum stuff just doesn't hold up. lol. Shimano Curado all the way.
+Nativefishkeeper168 not really. Shimano is probably the most popular company out there
+Nativefishkeeper168 lol nice joke
Nativefishkeeper168 lol nice joke
Nativefishkeeper168 lololol
hes a friggin crankin machine lol
That it..game over
Chasing eventually
Nice vid
🐐🐐🐐
Never got the right left hand change thingy . WHY ? They do make left handed reels . Needs some splainin .
I don't understand why you would want your strong hand on the reel?
I'm a lefty and much prefer my strong arm on the rod!
Just what You get used to, I guess!
i don't understand why he had to keep fishing even though that 2lb won the sudden death..?
우왕굳
What is that sound in the background lol sounds like the hunger games starting 😂😂😂
Hunter Bowen trolling motor
I thought that he will have. you know. A sudden death.
you look like in a commpetition because your quick
+Ai Il He is in a competition lol
anyone know what type of reel he is using here?
Matthew Franson Quantum Tour Mg
Super light reel
when he said I wanna bite really bad I died hahahahahahahahaha
B-Jesussss cast the liv'n Fak out of an area or what? :)
how can his wrists even move after decades of this abuse?
Can anyone do a tutorial on how he casts like that
The world may never know...
its all in the flick of the wrist
Sounds wierd but if you can throw a curveball you can cast like him. Notice his wrist turns in when he casts.
삼배형
had 2 throw a second coment he is a fishing machine
I don't get it what is he doing to cast with that type of reel is it like a push button that i had when i was 4 just bigger
Matt Ganci BaitCasting reel, its a bit more complex than a normal push button called a SpinCaster.
Pile Driver ?
The lure is not sinking low enough to the big ones.
Falo dude he's fishing a squarebill it only has a max depth of probably 5 feet no matter how slow or fast you reel
Ur advice to the all time best fisherman alive 😏 lmao
Trust me if he wants to hit bottom he has some 6 to 10 XDs and stuff that don't play the radio!!! He fish fast because it's a sudden death and time is very limited
What camera mount is he using?
PaBasser GoPro chest Mount
What kind of rod and reel is that?
Quantum Team KVD rod and reel
Quantum tour MG reel
Dustin Lee
Quantum MG Tour
And what seems to be a Black Exo rod?
cast with the right, move the rod to the left, and reel with the right. thats pretty weird!
A lot of people cast that way!
That's how most people use a baitcaster
+Mega Bass same
It's how I use mine
A lot of people that are right handed have to cast and reel with the right hand including me. I wish I could cast with my left but it just doesn't work that way
What Reel does it ?
Fouchur HH Quantum MG Tour
He could be more efficient if he learned to use a left handed baitcaster. Like most, he casts with his right, moves it to his left, and reels with his right -- which of course is inefficient. If the armless lady I saw in a documentary can open a can of tuna with her feet, I think any of us can learn to reel a baitcaster left-handed.
Steve Owens True, you might think that, because he's not losing time in the casts during the video, he's as efficient as he can be. But efficiency is more about energy expended/movements made to accomplish the same task.
Goshawk2317 I heard something about cranking with your right hand so that you can speed up the bait easily.
+Goshawk2317 He has his next casting spot picked out while reeling it back to the boat. I fish crankbaits in a similar manner. I'll change speeds and direction as he is doing. For my money, nothing beats a Strike King KVD model, while using my KVD Tour Edition baitcaster. Like The King says, "It's money in the bank"
+PaBasser pretty good for the price
He fishes to fast
And thats why you wont win a tournament
My name is ulysses I use my mom's account
Hell yeah ulysses
what happened to his masterful jerk-bait technique? this looks like panic fishing.
This is called covering water.
@@ffinkral you mean to see if there is even any fish out there?
that's my secret bait he's using!!!
Am I the only one who thinks Zona should commentate for MLF????? How bout the Z train on MLF that would be friggin awezome
I wonder why Kevin doesn't move on to a better spot.
+mrBDeye He sticks with a spot until he's completely covered it. He's doing a little moving while in the same area. He'll try multiple casting angles as well. There is none better with a cranking rod in his hands.
+PaBasser Did you watch all 21 minutes of this video? In many of his seminars Kevin tells us that he has a 10 minute rule. If he does't catch fish in 10 minutes he moves on to a different spot.
+mrBDeye Sure did. I've been to 2 of his seminars. I have both of his books, one of which he autographed and personalized for my birthday last year. I use his crankbaits almost exclusively, as well as his editions of rods and reels. I use the same rule, except I might stretch it to 15 minutes before moving on. I've heard other anglers use the same type of time frame, when fishing an area or a spot.
PaBasser You can own all his rods, reels, lures and books but that won't help you catch fish unless you cast your line into a well stocked tournament lake. That my friend is the secret of catching big fish.
+mrBDeye Well, I've caught big fish not in well stocked tournament lakes
