KVD 2018 Boat and Gear Tour 

I met KVD at work one day. It was awesome to meet someone who has been my role model since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

The king of bass! Congrats on your latest win! Huge KVD fan

Maybe the most polished salesman on the tour. Well done and well explained. I remember when the carbon paper graphs came out and my fathers ranger had Hummingbird flashers front and console with the Lawrance Graph at the console. Man things have changed.Good lick Mr KVD!

Wow, that boat is truly amazing, it's the coolest looking one I've seen yet, the wrap looks awesome, and the new Minn kota is the best out there, the helix 12's are the best out there, your truly blessed man, been a fan since I was a little kid, bring home number five this year man.

That rig and set up is straight goals.

Enjoyed the walk thru and I'm a believer in the Helix G2N. I have the 10" and I love that new boat wrap. First high performance bassboat I owned was a Nitro.

Can’t wait to see it and you on the water. Love you went with Minn Kota, never lets me down. Great Looking Boat. Have a Great Elite season!!!

You are the Man Kevin , greatest of all time. I several Tour KVD rods and reels, love them !

good deal..hope you the best this season

love the new nitro really want one we got a older one oh and congrats with being with minn kota

glad to see you take time to hunt too.

Woah!! Like it! Good luck KVD.

Hell yah man with the technology it shows why fisherman of today catch so more and tournament weights are so much higher than 20 or 30 years ago I remember when we had an old eagle depth finder that flashed what depth it was now they show fish live not against it I'm impressed

Great looking rig,good luck this year.I wish I had a boat..

I love this video! Make more of them along the way please! (P.S.Nice buck on the wall)

That is a nice boat. Top of the line 2018 amazing.

Hey from Torch, good luck on the season brother!!

Man! If I ever hit the lotto............Best of luck KVD!

Awesome set up. Looking forward to hearing you speak in Indianapolis on the 16th. Something I've done with my Talons for while I'm towing is I have two 6"x6"x1" pieces of composite decking material each with a 3/4" hole recessed in the material about 1/2". I place these under the support pole while the Talons are laying flat on the deck during towing. This distributes the weight of the Talon and the stress to the deck while there may be bounce during towing. The storage covers where my Talon support rods rest are both aluminum and aluminum does not handle stress fatigue very well without eventually cracking. Distribute the weight of the Talon while towing over those 2 6"x6" pads as opposed to just the 3/4" footprint of the support rod.

Coolest wrap I've seen!!!

I love this boat!

good for you to make the switch the minn kota, I am sure it wasn't easy to break a business relationship. It was easy to see this past year on the 1000 islands tourny, as you struggled with your motor guide well others were spot locked.

Grats on the new shop it definitely isn't a finish product, but will help with you getting ready for each tourney and has plenty of space for filming videos such as this. I would say that I am surprised that you don't have some rod racks for all or most of your main rods, but you probably store them in the boat anyway. I really like that boat and finally got to see one up close at a BP in North Carolina and it was black and red, and I said, "Well it has KVD colors on it, which is sweet" and for 53-55k that is a bargain in the bass boat world especially vs a Ranger. I definitely like the Mossy Oak Illusions wrap, very slick indeed. I am glad that you finally switched to Minn Kota so you can have all that connectivity from the Johnson Outdoors Products, the Ultrex is a game changer for sure. Good luck this season Kevin.

Your best looking boat so far!!

Kevin, you need to come to the Chicago fishing shows! Sorry we missed you. Looks like you were busy though with your new rig and equipment! Hope to see you next year and good luck this year on the trail! Go get them!

Nice rig Kevin!!

Talon - Humminbird - Minn Kota ~ Glad to see you made that move - I'm betting you're gonna love it . I certainly Do ~ Good Luck this year.

Garage goals! The floor though. =)

I Love your boat KVD you are the man

The set up is top notch I hope to get back into bass fishing in coming years not sure on brand of boat but it’s going to be New an rigged out to get started

That is just flat out SIC!!!

good luck out there nice insight

OMG this is sick!

Matte black looks great !

New boat is legit!!!!

sweeeeeeet! this is one bad boat. the shop and the boat is like some kinda lottery giveaway you se on t.v. kvd love the vids.

wow what a good looking free boat....

Holy crap! I guess this is what you need to fish for a living. Glad I have a regular job.

I want. That is awsome set up.

Good looking boat

You are the Greatest!

HOLY SHEET, WHAT A RIG!

That ULTREX was just too good to not be running. Motor Guide has a lot of work to do because that ULTREX is leaps and bounds ahead. KVD has been a MG fan for a long time and you know it had to be a game changer if he decided to switch. I would much rather have spot lock than a power pole. Poles are only good in shallow water. KVD is an offshore specialist and that spot lock is gonna help him stay on those schools of small mouth. Love to watch KVD fish off shore. He is the best ever to do it.

Fantastico sei il migliore

Just subscribed I'll be watching awesome boat I'm still stuck in the 90s with my boat and it's a 1979 allison xst.But I live three miles from chickamauga and 5 miles from watts bar and fishing is great around here

It's good to be the king.

There’s more money in those Helix 12’s than my entire fishing setup! Stratos boat included. Not jealous at all...just saying. I hope he wins another classic.

Damn son, with that setup and all that tech, winning the Classic should be a breeze lol

Nice set up kvd best of luck to you 2018

Sweet ride

MINN KOTA=SMART MOVE!!!

can you do more in depth of your rods and reels set up. good luck to this year kevin

MAKE MORE OF THESE VIDEOS!

Looks good, love the bar!!! I have a picture with you. I was a baby, Collinsville boat and sports show in Illinois (near stl). Around 25+ years ago lol, super fan ever since. I have a similar shop with my rig but I’m a Yamaha man til the day I die. I’m in Cadiz KVD so next time you put in at Kenlake let me know and I’ll show you how to fish KY Lake!!! Alright I know you know the lake better than me so no comments guys!!!

Man I'm so jealous 👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good stuff!

Always been a huge fan of yours would love to fish with you one day show you how its done lol

Great introduction to all the necessities! See you at Martin...

I'd love to have his old stuff

Hey Kevin, why did you choose to run helixs rather than the new solix touch screen graphs?

The baddest bass boat on the planet

Life is good to be KVD! With all those electronics you must be able to find every 6 lber in a 500 hundred mile radius!! Where do you keep the cappuccino machine on the boat 😂?!

My dad once said, "son, doesn't matter what you do, just be the best at it" . Now I know what it means.

Get some KVD!!!

G.O.A.T

Upgrade those Helix 12s to Solix 15s. One hell of a setup this season! New wrap looks amazing!

Great video Kevin I'm voting for you this year, how did you do up in Alpena for MLF

Wow Awesome 😍

Woaa kv Awsome toys amigo 😵😱😵😱🙇🙇

AWESOME. KVD

Hummingbird should make the birds on the graphs glow
