My boy Ott Defoe pulled Rookie of the year. Been following him since day 1, and dude is truely a beast

Hasn't been producing? He's leading in points for the year, I would say he's still producing better than anyone else.

Tournaments after Battle of the Bayou, he hasn't shown his true ability. Regardless if he already has a spot in the classic or not you don't just stop being at your 100%. All im saying is he won't be on top for long.

39 — That's the percentage of times KVD finishes in the top 10 of tournaments.
22 — That's how many Bassmaster Classics he qualified to fish ... in a row! Only Clunn, with 28 in a row, has done more.
20 — That's how many BASS tournaments he's won. For a few months, he was tied with Roland Martin at 19, and some may point out that Martin had to defeat more individual opponents in his era. But most would agree VanDam has faced more skilled competition.
6 — That's how many Angler of the Year titles he won, but the number could easily be higher. He was ineligible to fish the Top 100 series (a precursor to the Elite Series) when he started out, so all he did was dominate the Invitational series on his way to qualifying for the Top 100s. A disqualification in an Elite Series tournament in 2006 cost him that AOY title. It's certainly not inconceivable that KVD could be fishing for his record-tying ninth AOY in 2011.
5 — That's where he ranked in ESPN's Greatest Angler Debate in 2005. If the same balloting were conducted today, he would almost certainly defeat Rick Clunn, Roland Martin, Bill Dance, Denny Brauer and everyone else who's ever fished for bass. In fact, the fifth-place finish seemed to inspire VanDam. As soon as his ranking was announced, he went on a tear, winning three tournaments in a row, including the Bassmaster Classic.
4 — That's how many Bassmaster Classics VanDam has won. Only Rick Clunn has won as many.
3 — That's how many B.A.S.S. events he won in a row back in 2005. It's also how many AOY titles he's claimed in a row.
2 — As in back-to-back Classic victories in 2010 and 2011. Only Rick Clunn has ever done that.
1 — That's where Kevin VanDam would rank if the Greatest Angler Debate were held today. Any votes for any other angler would have no credibility at all.
