KVD was apparently disqualified to compete in the Elite Series event at Santee for having his co angler idle him through spawning areas while he was on the front deck looking for beds. According to BASS the rule was put into place a year or 2 ago to keep guys practicing with co anglers the advantage of doing this. I'd bet KVD is not happy and being President of the PAA it's sure to hit the fan this week.
Dooh!

I would love to see all tournaments OUTLAW fishing for bedding fish. Let's see their real skills during spawning times by fishing for non-bedding fish. Spawns are being hurt all over the country allowing this unethical practice. And please everybody spare me the speach of how a bass can ride around in a livewell for eight hours, stand in line in a plastic bag for 45 minutes put in a holding tank, then released, will go right back to bedding, PLEAAAAASE.
Fishing for spawning bass is totally unethical. I wonder why we have to keep stocking our lakes with fish? Its sad that we cant have natural reproduction taking place because the fish aren’t given the opportunity to spawn.
YES give us more regs heck why not just close all the lakes in late April early May!!

HEY RANGERTR Go to bass master .com and read about it BEFORE you even think about comparing Vandamn to Idiot Ike. The problem was his trolling motor was dead and he had the guy that was practicing with him idle them back into a cove . The cove was located next to the boat ramp where they where gettting out. The rule violation was ( and I think it is stupid ) is that a non-boater may not operate the gas engine except to load the boat or a medical emergency. Ok now how many of us has said to the guy in the back just idle us across to the other side.
Please don't even try to say that this was as bad as Ike ripping and snorting one of his baby fits as he destroyed someone elses property.
Breaking a rule is breaking a rule..no exceptions. If you had been in the tournament and done it like you say you have before you would have been disqualified too. The reason for the rule is obvious.
Anybody that would compare VD to Ike, well they must be like Ike!
I have to agree with Dave on this one. KVD knows the rules and there is no excuses. As for as comparing KVD to Ike theres nothing to compare. Ike's tantrams are the sign of the times that are showing up in every part of our society.Our news media as well as the audiance thrives on it. Wake Up America !!!!!!
To add... KVD admitted they went around that bed for a few mins to check out the bass... It's not like they were actually driving by, going to the dock.. VanDam couldve driven if that were the case... He knew what he was doin.. He just didnt expect anyone to say anything
