I would take him on..................it would be an honor to lose to my favorite pro angler, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could probably beat him at checkers.

Give KVD all his gear and I would take him on even, but my rules.

1 year to fish. Biggest 5 or biggest single fish throughout the year. All have to be caught in lakes in the USA no guides no private water. I would be the favorite and I would bet on myself

Now a regular tournament, well I think I am above average and I am confident but I am also realistic. He would beat me 19 out of 20 times.

on nuetral water.  His water 49 out of 50. My water 9 out of 10.

He is that good and a zebco wouldnt slwo him down much. I would refuse to fish against him with that handicap. If by some chance I got on a good bite and won, it would mean nothing because he was handicapped. Sure he can and does get beat and its possible for most of us to have a chance at beating him. But we are not supossed to beat him and it wouldnt happen very often.

Now anytime we go into competition we have to believe we can win. Why even try if you dont think you can win.  Even though I would loose to him those 49 out of 50 times I would still think I can win each time.

On Toledo Bend the advantage would be mine, I already know where the big bass live.

The key for my success would be controlling days 1 & 2, by days 3 & 4 KVD will have adjusted.  

What are the odds I win, Hum

On neutral water I would be at a disadvantage and everything would have to fall in place including KVD struggling.

Over a years time! Dude he's 5x AOY

The question isn't could you beat someone, but rather could you beat that someone when you have to put up from a $1000.00 - $3500.00 in order to attempt the challenge.

I'm not scared.

Nope, but I could whip Charlie Moore

Now this would be a cool TV show=Have a Pro go against you on YOUR home lake! This way it may be more fair, you know the lake, and that would be a plus for you,the Pro can't pre fish the lake!

I still suck on my own lake... ;D

I could beat him... if we were on my lake which he has not pre-fished or done research on and he is blindfolded and dropped at the boat drop. I have been fishing my lake for 27 years. I could get my limit prety fast then head to the spots to cull up. Without a map my lake is a real land mine. The canadian government dumped rock into my lake while creating the st-lawrence seaway so without research, experience or electronics your done in no time flat. You can go from 12ft to 6 inches with no warning. Probably find KVD floating down the lake still fishing. ;D

After beating him do you think i would absorb his super powers?

Well now, that totally depends....

Could I beat him in a tournament ? Ha ! Are you kidding ? I probably could not beat KVD's grandmother in a tournament ;-) LOL

Could I beat him on a fun fishing trip for numbers of 'normal sized fish' ? Still extremely unlikely.

Could I beat him by catching a 'bigger fish'..... on a lake which I know like the back of my hand.... which he's never fished in his life ? Maybe.

Nothing like stacking the odds in ones favor ;-)

No doubt the guy is a stick.... But his kind of bass fishing and mine, is about as different as racing and golf.

Peace,

Fish

ya right, better luck flying.

Yea his Merc powered Nitro Z9 might have a slight advantage over my 1996 Stratos 258V 70 hp Johnson

Haaa...try a rental boat witha 15 mp motor...LOL!!

Ya' know Catt and Hammer, I really don't think KVD's boat would give him such a big advantage.

IMPO, high performance bass boats are totally overhyped. KVD's awesome tournament success has SO much to do with his  personal fishing abilities, and SO little to do with his boat. And if KVD himself told you anything else, he would just be 1) being modest, and 2) hyping his sponsors.

A guy just doesn't need 250hp and a bunch of glitter to catch bass.

Instead of Dancing with the stars we could have fishing with the pros, LOL!!!!!   ;D

KVD is pure pwnage on me........

Hell yeah I'd whoop his booty!

I use only Shimano reels, G Loomis rods, Yozuri line, Yamamoto plastics, and Lucky Craft hard lures.

"Duh nuh nuh nuh...

Can't touch this!" ;D :

If I happened to fish against him the same day that Hell froze over, without a doubt.

Honestly, in a one day tournament I MAY be able to hold my own. Past that, I get smoked.

I'd be dominated. I'm 18 years old and have only been fishing two years. I can't wait till I feel I've acquired enough knowledge to even take on the guy who's "mentoring" me. It'll be fun! Then we'll talk about KVD. ;D

Is your home lake Racetown by any chance LOL??? I have met very few people who don't suck there.
