You have really been putting in the work lately with the You tube Kevin and we are the winners.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin many many years ago on a small lake near his home. I had no idea who he was and was just out of high school trying to figure out life and fishing. Kevin took a few minutes out of his day to give me some pointers. About 6 months later I learned who he was while he was at an event at his Dad and brothers store. He was already successful and not one to brag about his accomplishments, even when it was deserving. He has done such great things for the sport and the community. I can not think of another human being that I would rather share a boat with for both his fishing expertise as well as his general outlook on life.

We love the natural patterns out here in Idaho

You ARE TOTALLY the reason I took up squarbill fishing and added it to my arsenal!! Thanks KVD!!

[@frankbalazs8816]

KVD! The Master of Fishing!! God bless

[@brucehoffman7063]

I like that hard knocker square bill, I got to get some of those. I use cotton Cordell and Big Os all my life and I’m 68z but I think you got something here. I’ve caught a lot of 5 pounders on mine. Thx for sharing and see you at Bass Pro. 😊

[@robertcook8187]

I truly appreciate everything you have done for the fishing industry and just love your rods and reels and baits thanks

[@devinhoyt7586]

He's definitely added 50 dollars to his combos more then 5 dollars to his soft plastics compared to anyone else yet there all the same weird huh it's almost like your paying for his name

[@Ajblendz]

🐐

[@HPDrifter2]

It's amazing that VanDam can be a great bass fisherman AND an awesome martial arts actor. One day, a French accent, the next day,ba Midwestern twang. Amazing...

[@applingsheart6156]

What's up Kevin loving all the videos you were putting out God bless be safe keep fishing

[@michaelupchurch3769]

I love those KVD square built crankbait I use them on the Maumee River Toledo Ohio I catch plenty of largemouth bass

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Stunning video with excellent advice!! I will try changing the retrieve speed for sure.

[@NickT-Jaden]

NICE! They really do choke that thing! Love that little rascal!

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Very enjoyable video.

[@wanderingoglethorpe]

Loving the new content!

[@emoutdoors5661]

Strike King makes some really good lures. I have a ton of confidence in the 1.5 silent. It’s hard to tie on anything else. I just bought a pack of rage anacondas in red shad that I’m excited to try. Good stuff!!

[@trevorphillips0430]

Love the content I went & picked up a lure that you made called the delta red I went fishing at the pond where my sister & caught 1 bass it's did the job but that was the only 1 I caught after that they stopped biting ima big fan keep up the good work

[@billljones979]

I slay both LG and smallies with a kvd 1.5 in green gizzard and 1.5 river minnow, And don't forget about the 2.5 little bigger and gets bites

[@tonyb-50]

Bring back the Smokin Rooster!

[@Jekbaron123]

Mantap bos ku

[@5.7.0bassin2]

I have a few 1.5 i dont crank really but you guys start making a hard knock sexy dawg im all over it

[@pirate7646]

KVD AND OOT DEFOE HAVE DONE ALOT FOR BASS FISHING

[@HoppedUpOnBass1983]

Mr. Crankinstein sir, you are by far the best cranker known to the industry! I love your 1.5 for smallmouth here in the Ohio river. One question for you, would you throw the hard knock in cold water or keep it silent? God bless and fish on!

[@nigel7297]

👍👍👍

[@mikeford9176]

What I really want to know is where the big smallie lake is up by Traverse City?

[@williamholden7760]

Keven probably is the best ever but he doesn’t have time to answer any questions. He just keeps making money what ever he does.

[@d.d.d_fishing7584]

I caught my pb cut throat trout 5lb on 1.5 green pumpkin craw

[@Freedomfishingtuglife]

Hello and good afternoon Kevin This is an off-the-wall question but I was curious on what type of color do they call that wrap on your boat and what style is it

[@cecilseaton7411]

How do you measure water clarity ?

[@emoutdoors5661]

Do you change out the hooks or run factory ones? I tend to like a triple grip type.

[@jordanjohnson7262]

He changed them out. Mustad

[@gotem358]

Love to catch me some smallie..

[@Twangtown7]

So he put on chartruese and started catching them...then goes on to say natural colors/matching the hatch is important in clear water.

[@raysgonefishing3271]

Dont think anyone else from any sport has more things with there name.

[@batmantiss]

Maybe Michael Jordan...

[@bobwoods1302]

How about let the fish go then tell us all about your lures?
