The
. I started bass fishing because of Kvd. Greatest to ever to it. Thanks for all the memories and Job well done.
Can I have your boat? I’ll carry on the legendary run!
You will always be a legend in the fishing world! So glad you autographed a hat for me. You'll be missed for sure
I am very glad and proud to have fished with you in a top 100 at Lake Seminole. I believe it was 1990. It was a fun, enjoyable day for me. I'm now 70 years old and still remember that experience. You are a well-oiled fishing machine. That's for sure. Thank you for all you have done for our sport. I wish you and your family the very best in your future endeavors. Take care.
Now he's promoting China made garbage from lews….. SAD! Don't buy lews products!!!!!
I remember when I was younger and just started learning about bass fishing, when I had to pick out a new lure to learn, the easiest choice was to go for a KVD product. You knew it was gunna catch fish and he'll have a video showing you how to fish it. He was a mentor and inspiration from a far for a lot of anglers. Thank you Kevin! Enjoy retirement.
Legend!!
A true sportsman and he will be missed! He is a class act that may never be repeated!
The G.O.A.T. Thanks for playing the game.
KVD! KVD! KVD! KVD! KVD! KVD! KVD! KVD!
<CHANTS REPEATEDLY>
Growing up there weren’t many days you could go watch fishing on TV. Bill Dance, Roland Martin and Shaw Grigsby were the main Bass fisherman to follow. Once Cable television changed, I got the chance to see KVD. He made me want to fish for bass all the time. Kudos and happy retirement to you Kevin Van Dam. My GOAT!
Blood Sweat Tears
C'mon man its Bass Fishing 
Such a great guy and so much we can learn from him
There will never be another KVD, he truly is the greatest tournament angler of all time! I don’t think anyone will ever pass or top what KVD has done
There’s nobody better than KVD! Truly the greatest tournament bass angler of all time, and an inspiration to so many!
They seriously should let him win Saginaw Bay but I think he's already done.
