Why Does Kvd Horse Fish In? 2024
Skever reply :
Since KVD is a fishing legend I assume that his retrieve of fish is correct but I have just always considered reeling a fish in like these
Tim Kelly reply :
Ken Block is a driving legend, but his tires don't last very long. Should I drive like Ken Block?
Bluebasser86 reply :
The longer a fish is in the water, the longer it has to get off the hook. "Skiing" a fish in is a good way to prevent them from having a chance to fight. It depends on what they're caught on and where they're caught at also. A fish caught on a deep crankbait in open water can and should be played out carefully. A fish caught flipping in heavy cover is going to be "horsed" in quickly to prevent it from getting back into the cover it came out of.
As for how you should do it, do what works for you. I fight fish in quickly but carefully.

He's trying to get them in as quickly as possible so they don't get off in a tournament. Those fish are money to him.
Bluebasser beat me to it.

He's fishing for a paycheck, get the fish and get on to another cast. As a recreation fisherman I see no point to it, I'm there strictly for the fun.

I always am a little more careful, I lose fish when I horse them in like that.

"horsing" a fish in. I know most of them weren't too big but I mean he reels in a good 2 lb bass without it even going underwater! Is this how I should reel in bass also ?
No, maybe if your getting paid for it.
the reel ess reply :
If getting that fish in the boat is the only thing that matters to you, you should fish like KVD.

Ken block isn't a driving legend. He never even cracked the top 10 in the World Rally Championship. Forget his tires, the man crashed at 4 races in a row. He doesn' t compete in the WRC anymore . he may have insane manuevers , but he isn't racing a rally car when it comes down to it.
Shanes7614 reply :
One reason also that guys dismiss is that the longer a fish is in the water the more lactic acid build up they get during the fight. Depending on water temps and conditions this can be deadly to ANY type fish.

300 million + youtube hits. He may not be any good driving against others, but plenty of people watch his every move on you tube and pay good money to go and see him. Bet he doesn't skim his bass in though. 
Montanaro reply :
I ski fish when I can. Big trebles in heavy cover? Ski. Punching mats? Ski
Anytime you want to keep a fish from digging into cover or if it's a dink you ski it. They pretty much go limp when skied.
JayKumar reply :
The above answers are right. It's all about efficiency and fish health, both of which matter big-time to tournament anglers.
Skever reply :
Ok when I showed my dad this he said that reeling a fish in like that would injure the bass's mouth. I disagree because there is much more resistance when the fish is underwater and especially when the fish make a dive there would be much more stress on the hooked point.

Ken block driving legend? Lol
corn-on-the-rob reply :
100% depends on both the lure and application. The spinner bait he is using in that video has a stout single hook and trailer hook, once you have hooked up with a fish with that setup, pretty much the only way he is gonna throw it is if you give him any relief of pressure.
The same way you dont pull too hard with small/fine hooks, you have to make sure you pull hard enough with the stout ones.

Did Evel Knievel ever actually jump anything? I only remember him crashing and smashing himself up every time. Still a legend.

If the health of the fish mattered to those guys, you would not see any of them yanking the fish up out of the water and letting it drop into the boat. They care about putting the fish in the live well.
hatrix reply :
Have you considered he secretly wants to be a big swimbaiter 
Maybe he is a undercover swimbaiter and it's hard to break the habit. I don't ski 5#ers but I sure will drop my tip in the water and crank like my life depends on it.

Seems that way.
From where I sit it appears the serious recreational fishermen are more in tune to the health of fish. To what degree will always be a debate.
CeeJay reply :
In the video he said 17 pound test line was a minimum for his spinnerbait fishing....it's a mismatch for a fish that averages 2-3 pounds.
With mismatched tackle you can and should bring them in fast. No need to play them or give line when needed.
Definitely not my style. I try to match my tackle to my target species.
Like many here I'm a recreational angler. If my livelihood depended on catching bass then I would simply try to over power the bass.
Nope, that's not my style at all. I'd love to see him try that with 6 pound test mono. Actually, watching him land some of those fish with a cane pole and worm would be quite the sight.

Because he can...
StinkyBass reply :
I agree with a lot of the previous posts. He's fishing for a paycheck, yes, but he's good at what he does and it works for him (In the amount of total net worth in the millions!). though I'm far from being a pro, I've fished long enough to feel whether I can horse a fish in or not. if I start losing fish after hook up, its usually something else that I'm doing wrong (i.e. bad knot, poor hook set etc.). so if you're hooking bass and getting them in the boat consistently, DONT CHANGE A THING! your doing good.
the reel ess reply :
I don't feel compelled to yank a fish from the hookset all the way into the boat. But the longer you play them, the more likely you are to lose them. And with a single hook (spinnerbait) you can horse them. What are people doing to a fish when they punch? Yank them as hard as you can and get them above the grass, dragging 5 lbs of grass with them so they can't go down. Same thing. 2 lbs of fish, 5 lbs of grass skiing to the boat.

Why Does Kvd Horse Fish In?
Because its more fun than horseing crappie in .

Hey you fish for a paycheck, every minute counts. Fun fishing hey take your time.....fishing for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'm sure most would have no problem horsing fish into the boat ASAP (if you can with the tackle you're fishing of course)
J Francho reply :
Most rec anglers I see are much harder on the fish than the pros. They take too long to get the hook out, then have to take a thousand pics, after they dig their phone out, and by then the fish has asphyxiated.

geo g reply :
Fishing shallow southern compounds my whole adult life, I know they are full of nasty vegitation, wood, and lots of other stuff. Play with a fish instead of getting them in the boat quickly will only lead to big problems. It only take a bass seconds to bury themselves deep in the junk. Getting a good hook set ,and getting their head up is key to shallow water success. It didn't take KVD very long to learn that lesson.

That Poser couldn't catch a bass if you threw it to him.

Get the fish in as quick as your tackle will allow and you are doing the fish a favor. Long fights kill fish.

Not uncommon to have a school of bull sharks circling a boat with a catch on, barracuda are notorious for cutting blue runners in half. We had a bonita on line, a cuda hits and a split second later a bull cuts the cuda in half.

Yes it can but how long is too long. Most bass even when played are still landed well under a minute, I think they are hardier than many people give them credit. Many inshore species I catch are similar size to bass, they are landed within 60 seconds too for the most part, they swim off pretty frisky. Occasionally it takes many minutes to land a fish, sometime those fish don't fare as well. When a lengthy battle does take place horsing one in could drastically reduce the success of landing it.
frogflogger reply :
I feel there is a difference between "horsing" a fish in and landing it as quickly as possible - I've followed this rule (landing as quick as possible) with everything from bluegill to blue marlin and feel it is the best practice for angler and fish.
