I seriously think the man is wise enough to have made the right decisions for himself, family, and sponsors. And to think that he will only be remembered by buying into Boyd’s ideas is some of the dumbest %#*+ I’ve ever herd!! The man can just flat out fish. Not to mention the knowledge he has stored away. His fan base is not dying, he is still recognized all over, (even this thread), and the guy will win again. You don’t have every angler in the world either scared of you, rooting for you, or hating you for beating them up!! Yeah I’m a KVD fan for sure, but someone’s argument on here is stupid as heck!!
To the O.P..... yeah looked pretty rough on him in 2019. I think he will make some adjustments this year and shine in one of the events. The dude has ice in his veins for sure. *heard... A herd is a several livestock. Much like what Boyd now owns.... Bottom line, KVD will never be welcomed back to BASS or openly recognized and spoken about as a legend like many others currently are. People know what his role was in all of this. His future deal and same as the others like him will be like the new XFL players, it’s doubtful any of them will ever make it back into the big show of the NFL. They’ve sealed their fate. Brandon and Gerald got a early pass and them moving when they did benefited them greatly; next year won’t be so easy for the others. Yes, they are grown men who made their decisions, but it’s well known that peer pressure and being rushed to make a decision and commitment by the likes of KVD played a role in why some of them moved over. The future for KVD in this industry is going to be limited to the broadcast booth for a 2nd or 3rd tier good old boys club league known for trying to hoodwink clueless sponsor executives into believing they are going to be getting value out of their advertising spends in delayed programming TV shows that run at 4am in the morning instead of promoting live onsite events that actually interact with the fans. Can you cite any of this?

Big o you're drunk go home. The legends status goes for anyone who qualifies. That is not something they made up for 2 guys. It's the reason guys like mark Davis were still fishing the elites. He won’t go back, he’s an owner in the MLF. Mark Zona also said that KVD will never fish BASS again. It will be interesting to see what (or where) his kids decide to do, if they try to fish professionally.

2018 Hall of Fame Inductee
Seven-Time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year • FLW Angler of the Year
Four-Time Classic Champion • Twenty-Five Time Bassmaster Winner
Three-Time MLF Winner
What more is there for him? That’s pretty impressive and ordinarily that kind of accomplishment would place him amongst the few legends in the industry. Too bad what he will be most remembered for by most is being one of the primary B. Duckett shills to help him sell a bill of goods to a bunch of fellow anglers. Again, I equate him to someone like Pete Rose; betrayed his fellow peers and the industry that brought him all the fame and fortune. What’s typical in this day and age, is that is the type of thing that’s rewarded by the media powerhouses. So yeah, he’ll be alright. Pete Rose being an example again, where he has been a long time commentator on MLB types of TV broadcasts; and cable news is chock full of handsomely paid commentators who are just like him, long time ago disgraced & corrupt crooks. And remember.....opinions are like noses, every one has one. and in my opinion, Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Just because he has a legends exemption and current rules would allow his return to BASS does not mean he would be welcomed. He burnt a lot of bridges when he did what he did. It would have been one thing had he just left on his own, to do something different, but no, he was one of the key people in pressuring others to follow him, which was just helping Duckett sell them all a bill of goods. The irony of it all was they did what they did to purportedly have a bigger say in their futures and destiny, only to then relinquish all that angler power over to KSE. So they are no better off than they were with BASS - worse actually, they are bound by a $25k per year buyout clause on their 3 year contracts. Karma is a b!tch!

I thought this thread was in regards to KVD having an off year in 2019 and how he could be on the decline. Addressing that someone cited his lifetime stats of 4 Classic wins and 7 AOY wins etc.
That is the subject I thought we were on.
