Could You Beat Kvd 1 Vs 1 If All He Could Use Is A Cheap Spincaster?

[Hurricane]

It would be cool as hell to fish with him though I tell ya that..

This thread is kinda funny...Quantum owns Zebco, so he could beat any of us without a breach of contract.

[DirtyDeuceGoose]

Maybe if he was blindfolded on my home lake!

[Dye99]

Of course I could. But Im busy lately beating Michael Jordan at basketball to even come close to having the time.

[PitchinJigz]

I would be honored to be whooped by KVD.

[MIbassyaker]

Of course not. I wouldn't even have a home-lake advantage.....he may have fished my favorite waters already (a couple places I fish sometimes, i know he has)

[MIbassyaker]

I would be honored to be whooped by KVD.

 

I'd be too busy taking notes!

[blckshirt98]

He could probably get some line he finds on the shoreline and tie to a tree branch and beat me.

[bassr95]

Interesting question. I think his knowledge of fish location and behavior would trump the spincaster handicap and I would lose. 

[Bluebasser86]

I would like to try and think I could keep it close, especially if all he had was spin-casting gear. I've had the chance to fish against a pro on his home lake once before, I'd like the chance to defend my perfect record

Anyone who has fished for any length of time has experienced the situation where someone with less experience and knowledge catches the biggest fish or more fish.  Anything is possible, but the probability is high that KVD would win the majority of the time.

Thats what i was thinking i would be just following behind him learning.

[stkbassn]

No way.  By the end of the day he'd have me wondering if there really was something to that cheap combo and I'd be convinced that I needed an entire arsenal of them....lol

[wenz41378]

No.  I don't think I could beat KVD or any top tier pro if all they had was a stick with some twine at the end.  Their ability to read a body of water and conditions far exceeds any advantage in equipment I would have.

Well said my friend. Of course one of us would beat him occasionally. The odds are not too good of that happening often though. He has devoted his life to catching bass, and has reached the highest level professionally. That did not happen easily, quickly or without great natural talent and a very strong commitment to being the best.

[Raul]

The question is not about me being able to beat KVD him fishing with a spin caster, the real question is if he can beat me I fishing with a spin caster in my home lake, hell ....... I can´t even beat my home lake.

[fishballer06]

I'd probably finish in the top 2

[NorcalBassin]

He uses Quantum... obviously he doesn't care about the quality of his gear.  

 

Outside of a miracle he'd smoke me with that set up, possibly even if the drag was broken.

[BassMaster17]

on my home lake yes, anywhere else, Heck no!!

[Jaderose]

Nope but I could sure as heck learn something!

[gulfcaptain]

Let him come to the LA/OC area, fish the city parks and small bodies of water I do around town.  I'd give myself a 50/50 shot in beating him.  And I would rather him use his own gear as well.  But there will be no boat and no electronics. Walk the bank, and bring what tackle you can carry.  Lets see what he can do.  Think the odds would be fairly close.

One big oversight here is remember that the pros who fish their home waters blow the competition away. Not because they are better fisherman, but because they know the lakes better. This is why KVD gets whooped all the time, even though he is one of the best fisherman of all time. Keep in mind, and from what I have heard, he got a lot of flack for winning a classic after learning about certain waypoints from someone else. The pros are alotted a limited amount of time to call guides before fishing a lake for a tournament. They get their info from people who are not labeled as a pro. Now with all that said, I know KVD would whoop me all day long on any lake we have never fished. But, location is and always will be the most important thing in fishing. He fishes my home waters, I got a great chance of beating him, not because I am better, but through blind luck and a ton of time on my lakes, I happened to find the channels and shorelines that hold better fish even though they logically do not look like they would be better. Yes all! We all would have a chance on our local waters, even against guys who will always be better fisherman than us.

[BaitMonkey1984]

Absolutely not. That man is dangerous. He is where he is because of his skill set and years of experience on the water,the two of which makes him a force to be reckoned with. Any advantage relative to the equipment would be far overshadowed by his skill, and he would kick my butt all day long. Change the game to a spinster with 2lb test line and now you got yourself a fairer competition in my mind. You know he's gonna catch him, but can he now play those fish correctly and land them.
