GoCougs14 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 To make it more simple, lets day that electroics are not in the situation and that youre both in jon boats. Kvd only get a super cheap spincaster, and you get to use all of your arsenal of rods. And no restrictions on baits 2 Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 Pros in just about any sport are pros because of their skill. Equipment doesn't come into play as much as you think, especially when going against Joe Schmoes....I don't think i cold beat him but i also wouldn't even try. I see fishing like golf, you aren't competing against the other person as much as you are against the course/fish.... 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 I would fish against him on Toledo Bend & he could have all his equiptment! Would I win? He would know he was in a fight 6 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 I couldnt beat mike Tyson in a fight but fishing against the KVD, I'd have a chance . Quote
PondHunter Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I doubt many people could. I certainly couldn't! The only limitation the Spincaster would have for most baits is the wrong retrieve ratio, which might not suit some baits very well. He would still study a map and the conditions for the most likely place that Bass would be, and know exactly wait lures and presentations to use. His knowledge of the task at hand would outweigh any disadvantage in equipment. 1 Quote
Big C Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I could beat him...if the spin cast combo he was using had no line. 6 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 I think I could hold my own against him in the Delaware River. When the pros were in Pittsburg back some years ago it was not very impressive. I've never fished the Three River Area but think I could have done better than some there. I won't limit him to the spincaster. 1 Quote

So, you've never fished there, but you think you could "hold your own" against the (arguably) best fishermen to ever pick up a rod? And you would let him use his whole arsenal of like 30+ rods? 4 Quote

I won't limit him to the spincaster. I'd like to take him on at a new lake neither of us has fished before . I wouldnt wager on myself but wouldnt be surprised if I beat him either . Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 He can use anything he wants ..ill choose a farm pond.im pretty sure i can take him their and ill even say i can take him on anything less then 100 acres .with no excess to a boat ramp.He needs a boat and electronics i dont.enough said, i respect him and all the big names but i can take um. 1 Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted November 2, 2015 Super User Posted November 2, 2015 I would just like opportunity regardless of the outcome. 8 Quote
bassguytom Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Nope. He would put a hurting on me. You are asking if we could beat arguably the best bass fisherman that ever lived. Regardless of equipment and even if he had an arm tied behind his back it is his cumulative knowledge of different waterways and seasonal patterns that make him one of the best ever. That's like asking if your wife wants to stop shopping. It's not happening. Quote
Super User Spankey Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 I guess that's what I trying to say. I'm NO pro. I'll acknowledge that he is. A great fisherman he is. Clearly more skilled than I. A God he's not. Man vs. man. I would have like been in that Pittsburg Tourney. Getting equal time to do my homework even up. I'm not saying I'd beat him. I didn't say I would beat him. You are the one saying you couldn't beat him. And I take it you don't think you'd stand a chance. Kripes it's a fish, got to believe you caught 100's. Pull it together and go at it with all your experience and prior success bass fishing. I would try to approach it in such a way that it doesn't make me a head case. I would imagine the pressure one would put on oneself would be the killer. I would love the opportunity to get beat by KVD. My sense is that you feel like KVD would crush you. 5/5 vs. 1/5, 5/5 vs. 0/5. Heck give yourself a little credit if you can fish. I'm just a regular ole river rat schlub that can handle myself, but doesn't fish as fast as the pros do. I'd just "never give up" like Ike. 1 Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 No, But it would be cool to fish against him. 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 I would whip his arse. Then I would wake up from the dream. The man is a machine when it comes to casting. He could be beat drifting where the bait stays in the water except to reel in a fish. Just a thought. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 No, I couldn't. However KVD has professed that he hates fishing slow, so I think it would be pretty painful for him. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 KVD's weakness is Toledo Bend! 5 tournaments held during pre-spawn & spawn 15 days at 5 bass a day that's 75 bass for a total of 177.68 lbs or a 2.37 lb average! Very amateurish at best! Quote

MidwestF1sh Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 In all honestly givin what the OP said he was stuck with. If it was on my home lake where I don't need a locator to tell me where all the hidden rock piles and brush piles are out deep then yes but realisticly no. Almost nobody could beat KVD except Aaron martens! Quote
Hurricane Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 No.. I don't fish enough to even think about it.. I would give it a try though. . Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted November 3, 2015 Super User Posted November 3, 2015 That was my point ,,farm pond small bodies of water i will say this though in 1000 acre lake or bodie of water with his 250hp boat and electronics he would whip me when im on my yak ,then again i may dissect a 1/4 mile stretch and beat him may be all i need ,,BTW we talkin a 5 slot limit or no limits or biggest bass in 1hr or 6. So many variables.or you saying put him on shore and im on his boat???? Quote
