Kevin VanDam
Kalamazoo, MI
Michigan native Kevin VanDam’s competition resume is nothing short of astounding: Eight Angler of the Year Awards (seven Bassmaster Elite Series AOYs, one FLW AOY), four Bassmaster Classics, 122 career Top 10s and 29 wins. Those numbers translate into the biggest number of all: more than $7 million in career winnings, the most of all time. VanDam won the 2021 Bass Pro Tour Stage Four on Lake Chickamauga in Dayton, Tennessee.
