‘Lucky’ Kevin VanDam stacks up a more than 3-pound lead at Bassmaster Classic in Louisiana

Kevin VanDam, often described as the best angler in the world, said he simply got lucky Saturday when he hauled 22 1/2 pounds out of the Louisiana Delta on a day when other Bassmaster Classic anglers fishing beside him fell behind.
