KVD Teaches Noobs To Fish

That's not how you hold it....

Yep, here it is from MensHealth.com:

Evening is dinnertime for bass—their sharp night vision gives them an advantage over other predatory fish. “Bass are particularly active for the first hour after sunset,” says Kevin Van Dam, four-time winner of the Bassmaster Classic.

Entice them with spinner bait, which mimics small fish. Reel it in at a medium pace so the blades give off tempting vibrations in the water. When you feel a bite, set the hook with a hard sweep of your rod, and then start reeling.

“Keep tension on the line so you can react if the fish moves,” Van Dam says. If it swims away, point the rod toward it so it doesn’t break your line or pull off the hook. When the fish moves toward you, quickly reel in the slack. Repeat until you lose it or land it.

Point the rod at the fish? All I have to say is: “Entice them with spinner bait….”

(You know you won’t be able to stop saying that one, Z.)

    You’re right Jay! I think the Z-Train has been planting words in KVD’s head. Maybe he has finally gotten to KVD…could this mean the end of his reign on Bass fishing supremecy(or better yet hegemony)!?!?!?!

    See I throw spinnerbaits often but never thought about enticing them. I going to try that this weekend and see how it goes.
