I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Kevin VanDam busts records as he claims 4th Bassmaster Classic victory

Records for most BASS victories and first $5,000,000 man!


NEW ORLEANS — The number four, how sweet it is — for Kevin VanDam, that is. Arguably the world's best bass angler, the Kalamazoo, Mich., pro claimed his fourth Bassmaster Classic win on Sunday.

But for Aaron Martens, the number four isn't so tasty. While VanDam's win tied him with Rick Clunn's 11-year-old record of four Classic trophies, Martens was left with the runner-up spot for the fourth time. The sting for Martens was the repeat of his second-place finish to VanDam in the 2005 Classic.
