Can I be the first to coin the nickname for Aaron Martens?
Can we now refer to him as the "VP" ? One place away from being the top dog in the Free World of Bass Fishing

Kal-Kevin · July 31, 2005, 06:03:23 PM

KVD ALL THE WAY

Fishaholic · July 31, 2005, 06:10:46 PM

KVD Did IT!!! WTG!!!
I just love it when someone from our neck of the woods does great...Michigan is close enough for me...

YEEEEEEEEEEEHAHHHHHHHHHHH

Kal-Kevin · July 31, 2005, 06:14:56 PM

I know what you mean my heart is still up there. I watch it on tv and was pacing the floor near the end.

Mike Cork · July 31, 2005, 06:24:06 PM

Well looky there what I have been saying all along KVD is on fire

When these guys get into the zone there is no stopping them. What is that 3 wins in a row for KVD

Arron Martins, three 2nd place finishes talk about allways the brides maid never the bride

Kal-Kevin · July 31, 2005, 06:27:08 PM

That is the only down side to this, the guy was so close that it had to hurt. well maybe next year will be his time, he only has to wait till February!

Paul Keith · July 31, 2005, 06:27:57 PM

Have a pair of sunglasses that KVD wore during the 2001 Classic...any bids? Just kidding, they are not for sale. Congrats to KVD...

fishforfree · July 31, 2005, 06:29:04 PM

Like I saod from the get go.................KVD would win

He is the best angler hands down. 3 victories in the last 3 tournaments - uncredible.

Speaking of Feb. ...................who else is coming to the Classic with me?

Kal-Kevin · July 31, 2005, 06:31:01 PM

FFF wish I could go, the only way I can aford that is if I hit the lotter.

well some day I will find a way to get there!!!!

Thats right, you and Kevin got to fish together on Caddo. How cool is that?

Mike Noble · July 31, 2005, 06:36:57 PM

Congrats to KVD.

Great accomplishment.

And did anyone notice what it said on the front of his cap? Hmmmm.

Paul Keith · July 31, 2005, 06:37:20 PM

A fishing MACHINE is what he is. Never seen anything even remotely close to his talents. Super nice guy too...we have went out to eat here locally on 2 occassions also.

Mike Cork · July 31, 2005, 06:40:33 PM

for you louisiana boys, if you pay attention to the Busch Beer commercials you might see some familar water

Paul took the crew to include KVD out on Caddo to film that

Team KaRu · July 31, 2005, 06:41:49 PM

YO triple F,
I just talked my wife into taking her and the kids to Florida

for a quickie 4 day trip Feb '06. (I gotta quit kidding myself about being a good salesman!

Anybody.. go ask your wife, girlfriend or significant other if they want to go to Florida

in February

So I just might be the first up to the plate to say oh heck yeah! 7 months lead time should be just right for my procrastinating ways!

YEP I SAID THE SAME THING, with 2 back to back wins under his belt going in I felt he had the upper hand. Great Job KVD!

Well you got to follow the rules, they can force him to fish out of a paper hulled boat during the classic but when it comes down to it he picks a Nitro to make his living fro & take his kids out on the water.

Pferox · July 31, 2005, 08:07:22 PM

OK, dumb question, where in Fl. in Feb, cause I just might be able to go, if it don't cost a small fortune.

bocraw · July 31, 2005, 08:09:57 PM

I was pulling for AM and KVD before the tournament started. Had I known that it would come down to those two I would have just pulled for AM. VP is a good nickname but I am going to call him Buffalo Bill. I hate it for him b/c he a great fisherman but not necessarily a great marketer...

Mike , that is a good point.....Just think VanDam just caught an 11 pound ,13 ouncer at Lake Lewisville .That almost equaled all three days in Pittsburgh.
