100th place? Dude should retire. Guess his helpers couldn't find them for him this week. If I only had the same amount of time on the water, I'd be just as good as him...probably better 'cause I run a Ranger.

Strange, you didn't reference an angler's name or 100th place in what? Angler of the year, a tournament?

And it is ?

Apparently we are in the "If you have to ask, you don't have the proper security clearance to know" crowd!

Looks like he's referring to KVD on Champlain.

Funny Guy!

7lbs behind leader? That is two fish

Bud, I didn't think clarification would be needed, but...it was just petty sarcasm. Mark my words, though, if he goes 2 or 3 tourneys w/o making a Top 12 someone will have the audacity to make such a claim on here in earnest. He's the GOAT and long from being finished.

I dunno doesn't quite work. Maybe 1 year ago but not now.

100th to 30th place its early in the day .

Maybe you're right, BMCD. I thought the ridiculousness of it, coming right after his "W" last week, is what made it work. I'll leave the comedy to the professionals from now on, lol. There was a thread just earlier this year questioning his ability to win again & there seems to be thread every other week with claims that discredit their (KVD & other Elites) ability because of help received or claims of being just as good as some of them with "xyz" justification. ...was just poking at that a bit with my post. I normally try to refrain from playing in the dirt like that, but I had weak moment of boredom at work.

I thought your comment was not only blazing with sarcasm but was also facetious to the 9th degree. Also knew some would take you serious especially after the recent win. All in a day on TFF. Folks couldn't see you wink and grin so it was kinda natural the response. KVD has become the Jack Nicklaus, Micky Mantle, Roger Staubach and MJ of bass fishing all rolled into one. Why's he so good ? You'd have to ask him but you prolly won't get a honest answer, he's also pretty modest. Like the saying goes, it's complicated. Just go with the flow and enjoy him for as long as it last. May be a hail of a long time before another like him comes along. His replacement is probably wearing diapers right now, lol.
