MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING™

The cat is now somewhat out of the bag on the newest idea in Professional Tournament Bass Fishermen called MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING™. . The Outdoor Channel along with some of the biggest names in the sport are putting together what they hope will be a made for TV League that has "more emphasis on personalities, the struggles, the strategies, the conflicts and the emotions of the anglers."The League

Current 2011 BassFan.com Money Rankings

One thing that is cool about BassFan is that they count the cash and rank the anglers by it. You hear about the $ rankings in golf all the time, but not so much in Pro Bass Fishing. That could be due to the fact that the sums really are not mind blowing and on the lower end, there is obviously has to be a pain factor for guys that aren't coming anywhere close to meeting expenses in an expensive

Kevin Takes Number 7!!!

Going into today it wasn't a mathematical certainty, but it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that KVD was walking away with the 2011 B.A.S.S. Elite Series Angler of the Year title. There is no doubt that Kevin is the only one to truly be able to lay claim to the crown this year. His domination over the last few years is historic and verges on being unbelievable. The Classic and AOY titles

KVD on the St. John's

BassFIRST.com got KVD on camera... KVD says it's gonna be a sight fishing deal, provided it don't blow and rain.

41st Bassmaster Classic Final Analysis

If a new "Greatest Angler Debate" were to be held again this year or any year hereafter I think there can be little doubt a different king of the mountain would emerge as the winner. Kevin Van Dam has now matched Rick Clunn's signature accomplishments of 4 Bassmaster Classic Titles and back to back Bassmaster Classic wins. I recently read that Clunn told KVD to hurry up and win #4, so they

KVD Wins 2010 Angler of the Year

For the 2nd year in a row Skeet Reese couldn't defend what was rightfully his and was beat out by KVD for Angler of the Year.Skeet really got screwed this year because of the amazing season he had. Last year it was a much closer call as Skeet barely had an edge over KVD going into the post-season.Kramer Gone Fishing Blog has an excellent take...

Kevin Van Dam Wins at Kentucky Lake Again!

KVD was my man in Facebook Strike King Fantasy Fishing this week. I doubt I'm going to win however, cause I doubt I was the only person to go with KVD and I was off on the winning weight by about 10lbs and the big fish weight by 3lbs. Who knows, maybe I will be extremely lucky and get that sweet Strike King prize package again.

40th Bassmasters Classic Odds and Ends

In case you are not aware this is the Strike King Red Eye Shad in the color gold sexy shad and it is the lure Kevin Van Dam used to win the Bassmasters Classic. They have them at Tackle Warehouse for $4.99, which to me is a reasonably priced bait. I have seen the SK Red Eye's on sale from time to time cheaper. I like the idea of a gold rattlebait but I think I might own maybe one with that
