He’s garnered 7 Bassmaster Angler of the year titles, 4 Bassmaster Classic victories, and 3 MLF Cup wins, and rest assured, if you were tossing bean bags in a game of backyard cornhole with him, he’d muster everything in his jerkbait slinging’ fibers to win that, too.
Yet, within bass fishing’s all-time greatest angler lies a loyal and sentimental heart only those closest to him get to see.

That’s where you’ll find a collection of heartfelt tokens “KVD” never leaves home without.
