This is from a B.A.S.S. press release about the Duel on the Delta tourney:

"No one is better at salvaging a positive out of a negative than Kevin VanDam.

Case in point: In the third round of the Duel on the Delta, the two-time Bassmaster Classic champion ran into a submerged object that tore a gapping hole in the side of his boat.

His bilge pump could not keep up with the water entering the boat. Instead of panicking, KVD called for help. While waiting for a replacement boat, he put the trolling motor down and managed to catch two bass before help arrived.

Remarkably, VanDam finished with a catch of 22 pounds, 4 ounces to make the top-12 cut for the final round."
