KVD-His strengths

KVD's greatest strength is his management of time.  He does not waste a nano second with unnecessary movements.

If he catches a good un, he may give one fist pump when he boats the fish.  If he loses a good un, the lure is right back in the water.  He neither celebrates, nor mopes while he is fishing. 

Whether he has more knowlege than everyone else, I do not know, but this I will guarantee, just from watching television coverage, everything else being equal, KVD will still outperform the others on a regular basis because he spends more time with his lure in the water, simply because the does not bound around the boat throwing a temper tantrum, nor in celebration.  From first cast to last cast, he is all business.  He is the epitome of efficiency.
