Kevin VanDam is the most accomplished angler in the history of professional bass fishing. KVD is a 7-time Bassmaster Angler of the Year, a 4-time Bassmaster Classic Champion with a record 25 Bassmaster Wins, 4 MLF wins & a FLW Angler of the Year title. All of that adds up to over 7 million in earnings & countless records. However now he has officially retired from competitive angling so what’s next? Kevin joins this week’s Mercer podcast & he addresses that as well as many other topics he has on his mind.

Thanks for the positivity Dave! We all know why some people bring their negative rants (one particular guy comes to mind 😆) it’s because their normal content doesn’t get any views and his controversial rants get 100x views (even made several videos specifically to say this 🤦‍♂️). Can’t wait for the KVD show! That will be locked on auto record with yours and Zonas!

Loved your open to this week's show. You have THE best fishing podcast there is. I'm a fan of Chris Zaldain but I only watch them now for certain guests because ALL they do is stir up the drama. I just wanna hear about fishing and people's lives which is what you do so well on your show! On another note, after YEARS of just announcing KVD's life, you get to compete with him now! not for blue trophies; but ratings! haha Just kidding, i'm sure there's many people like me who try to sit down, tune in for Zona, Pro Team Journal, Facts of Fishing, Lindner's Angling Edge, and will just add KVD's show to the mix. Sorry for the long comment! :D

Agree about the drama stuff. It's very easy to find the stuff. We don't need another podcast to cover it. Thanks for being you. Funny story about KVD. I worked at Gander Mountain in 2016 in the fishing department, and a supervisor found out I didn't know what KVD stood for. All of my coworkers laughed at me, rightfully so. Nowadays, I can probably name 100 pro bass anglers and a bunch of pro walleye anglers. 😂

Absolutely a great show! I agree with you Dave. I’m not a professional angler by no means I do like the pleasure Fish and I do some tournament fishing. The reason I do 90% of it is because I just enjoy being out there to get away from the grind of the daily life, pressures, drama, negativity. And so to all the ones who are doing the Negative podcast just to get the views, mostly they are just money driven. They do have a right to their opinion, but what they are doing by spreading all the negativity is really driving people away. Keep rolling on with what you’re doing brother and the way you’re doing it. ! You and KVD are absolutely the best ! !😎🎣

My fishing world is great. I fish with a great kayak club in NW Arkansas. Went to my first Classic a week or so ago. Fishing a tournament on beautiful Tenkiller this weekend. I'm about to have a drink and listen to KVD and Mercer. Fishing life is good. As far as FFS goes, why don't we do half tournaments with and half without? Seems like a compromise everyone can be happy with. And certain people can stop saying that some of these new guys can't catch em without technology because I believe most of them can get it done either way.

The difference in bass fishing is simple. The anglers PAY to be able to enter a tournament. They are CUSTOMERS of the sanctioning body’s. All the sponsors are based on performance, but anglers BUY their way into to each event. VS the NFL, MLB,ect… your skills get you into the door.

I know i,m late commenting but im right there with you. The sport that i grew up on and love has currently turned to $hit. The sport has completly left the guy or gal that works there ass off all week to get out on the water on a weekend behind. That goes for the gear promotions too. Its no longer a working mans sport. Add all the drama on SM and you tube its a huge turn off that many anglers have had a freaking belly full of. At this moment I feel like I'm on an island by myself. I appreciate your podcast Dave ! I hope it turns around one day

How about FFS in practice but not in the tournament?

We don't need negative rants and drama chasing. Fishermen shouldn't behave like 8th grade girls nor crave it.

Kevin.....Looking at FFS you can tell he is concerned. 2D/Side Imaging-360 OK.....Get rid of spot lock/anchor.....no FFS during the tournament. The problem is you need none electronics sponsors.....no sharing information from competitors....no 50K electronics....limit it two electronics only.

I think they should eliminate co-anglers in bass tournaments. There are plenty of team trails for co-anglers to compete

12:35 Makes me wonder how FFS will eventually affect the evolution or popularity of fishing shows. If we're raising a generation that only live scopes, will they care to watch anything else??? hmm.

Hey Tyler, Thanks for watching. However, If me giving my honest opinion on a problem I see in the sport is killing you then maybe you don’t actually love me at all 😂. If you don’t like what I am saying you can always fast forward.

Tournament fishing needs a senior league like now it's a big mistake that they don't already have it just like pro golf does and I think it has a good chance at becoming as big or even bigger than the pro leagues hey Bass get on it before mlf beats you to it!

That’s an idea that gets thrown around. It could work but currently I think the last thing fishing needs is another circuit. There are so many as it is
