ESPN.com published a package of stories on athletes' earnings today, and among those was a list of the top individual money-makers in each of 30 sports. Competitive fishing was included, and Kevin VanDam's $915,500 in prize money during 2010 was the standard.
That total placed KVD at No. 19 among the 30 athletes listed – not even in the same ballpark with the $32 million that Alex Rodriguez pulled down for playing third base for the New York Yankees, but miles ahead of the $40,300 earned by female bowler Shannon Pluhowsky.
