Kevin VanDam's intense Bassmaster Classic win in Pittsburgh

In one of the most exciting Bassmaster Classics, roughly 10 anglers were within 2 pounds of the lead on the final day. Three Rivers in Pittsburgh did not disappoint in the intensity department. Who remembers Kevin VanDam's epic 2nd Bassmaster Classic win?

Number 2 for KVD on the way to becoming the greatest bass angler of all time! Wish I could have been there to watch it all unfold! 🐐

It was fun being out on the rivers watching these guys. Then the flw came and that was equally as fun. I wish they'd come back.

Can't imagine the feeling that Aaron felt when they announced that he was 8 oz. short!!! It's one thing for it to happen to you in a club or Open event but in the Bassmasters Classic??? That is something that I would never ever want to deal with, that's for damn sure!!! I would rather lose by 20 lbs!!

This one must haunt A-Mart all the time. He literally had the winning fish, touch the boat.

or Gerald swindle. He lost two that day that would have sealed the deal for him.

Lol, I thought for a second that this was this year's classic. Then I see 2nd and I'm thinking 😥. I know it's on a river and I was positive its next weekend but it got me

I while back I thought KVD was related to jean Claude van dam fuuuuaaahh!! Freaking raw van dam from ECW I think is related to him hahahah

[@swalker9482]

Wow. I like kvd but martens gave this one away. 3lb and 4lb wins it, bet he still thinks about this one

Bass fishing has become way too commercial.
