do yall like kvd? most everybody either likes him or they dont. why do you like or dislike him?

Like

Never heard of him. Who/what has he done?

I don't dislike the guy! He's a heck of an angler. Can usually catch them, just having an off season. One of the best of all time

dont care for much of his off-water personality but he's the best angler of all time, he's not done winning classics

Could you tell me what you're talking about "off water antics"? I'm just curious, because I've never noticed anything negative, but wondering if I missed something? Nothing surprises me these day, however. Thanks.

Wish he were my neighbor....

Seems like a bung hole from the limited conversations I have had with him. I don't know if I like or dislike the guy cuz I don't know him.

I do enjoy watching him fish

Never met him, only seen him on TV...Catching lots of fish and advertising for Strike King.

Awesome fisherman

KVD is the best and a good family guy also from what I have seen.

Probably,the best current bass fisherman,but a little brusque with fans.

The brusque simply comes from the demands on his time. Plus, when it's tournament time, he's FOCUSED big time. He'll stop and sign autographs and visit briefly, but that's about it. And all he's thinking about is the interview he's got to do, the sponsor obs and getting to his rig to prepare tackle for the next day.

Away from all that, he is awesome. Funny as heck, super smart, well-spoken and yes, a top notch family man. Extremely generous, too! I've been fortunate to get to hang around with Kevin due to my friendship with another Elite angler with whom KVD's very close. Those of you who say he's a jerk or whatever (and I understand that) could not be more wrong.

I've got a great photo on my puter with KVD and Kriet from the Classic, but can't post it from work.

You mean this one?



I can't see it boomboom, but I know you had it so thanks for posting.

My opinion -

First off, excellent angler!

Secondly,
When your as busy and focused as he is, you don't have the time or energy to be as "personable" as so many people think you should be.

Often times when I'm fishing, I never hear a word anyone says to me. Later on I realize I'm not paying anyone attention, but the truth is, I'm so immeresed in fishing and the task my brain just won't function like that.(I'm also a man, we can only do one thing at a time...LOL)

I have a good feeling KVD feels the same way.

Daily Schedule - Wake up, get ready, launch boat, interview, fish 8 hours, weigh in, interview again, eat dinner, prepare boat for next day, try to sleep and REPEAT day in and day out! It will take the spunk right out of ya!
