He is a master of marketing I say again he sells his own DVDs and clothing lines while fishing as much as he does that just proves he's smarter than we think Nascar has Jeff Gordon fishing has Ike.
No fight here it's just a discussion....but i could care less if a college student or some guy walking down the street looks like that but i do think it's odd that a man who is such a nice guy in person that has the fishing world by the short hairs would want to act like he does on camera. I totally understand the marketing standpoint and if thats his strategy then go for it...but it's not for me. I would rather have my child think that KVD is awesome, maybe i'm just showing my age? I like Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson but that's my point these guys stand out by being awesome not by "posing", heck look at Jordon when he played this guy always seemed to present a good image and the kids/parents loved watching him.
I would have to disagree on the fishing having Mike Iaconelli I would say that fishing has KVD. Just calling it like I see it...
