I'm not sure what the link is but if you're a facebook user just simply search Kevin Van Dam and it will come up.

Mark came by the Grandt Rods booth in Suffern New York last Friday. I talked to him for about ten minutes. Jim used to build his Zona Rods. We talked about fishing and guys like Dan, Mini, Mac and Kevin.

Easy to become a fan very difficult to become a friend. I have been accepted as a friend by every pro I've requested except KVD and Ike. They didn't reject my request they just never responded and it still shows the request as pending. They must not get on there much.

I imagine with their popularity that by the time they get back to the computer from the latest string of tournaments they have 100 pages of email with about 2,000 spam messages. They could probably use someone to do this type of thing for them to have some hope of  keeping up.

I wonder how much email each of them gets a day? I get at least 200 on my main addresses. Another 40 to 70 at the day job. The morning I logged on to my key addresses back from the jungle in Manaus, 638 email messages came up. Not hard at all to get behind or lose some that way and...

Just on names:
'dan kimmel' gets 390 searches a month average on Google (and some of that is probably for the movie critic guy in Boston not this web site)

'kevin vandam' gets 14,700 a month average on Google!

'mike iaconelli' gets 20,000 a month average on Google!!

They both have hundreds of additional searches for various items or topics. Heck, 'mike iaconelli tattoos' gets 28 searches a month!! ;D

Wow! I wonder how much email they do get a day! A week! A month!?! I hope you don't take it personal.

Tell you what. It won't be anything like KVD or Ike but if you send me a friend request, I promise I will accept it by tomorrow night ;D Best I can do.

LOL! I definitely don't take it personal. I just like the updates the pro's post about practice before the big tournaments.

I joined the GLB page and sent you a friend request.
