Merely human

Watching Evers has reminded me of last year and it's correlation to this season.

 

This is the second year in a row when the unthinkable has happened during the final regular season event.

 

Last season Evers was in the middle of that. At the time, many of us thought there was no way Evers was not going to win the AOY. He had a commanding lead and the fickle nature of tournament fishing caused him to drop and open the door for Aaron Martens.

 

This year, and while it's not official, there's a good chance that Kevin VanDam could miss the Classic for the first time in decades.

 

Given that just a few years ago, KVD won back-to-back events and seemed unbeatable, that's a situation many of us could never fathom.

 

Then again anything can happen, and often does, in a bass tournament.

 

If anything, these past two final events have shown us that two of the biggest super stars of angling, super human at times, can actually be just merely human every once in a while.
