If you don't love Bill Dance, there is something wrong with you

Grew up watching that show with my dad. Him, Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston and Bassmasters every Saturday morning.

Met Bill Dance at Venice Marina right after LSU beat Tennessee during the "13 man" penalty. I saw his T hat and knew immediately who he was. I walked over there, of course wearing my LSU hat, and before I could say anything he said- "Hey, nice hat". I laughed, told him "Yes - I like it much better than your hat". Both got a good laugh out of it and as I was walking off I told him if you Tenn boys could learn to count to 11 you might win a few more games!!

I still watch his show regularly along with bassmasters on Saturdays.

I would love to fish the lakes and ponds that he films on. Never seen someone catch so many hogs. He catches at least 10 fish a week that id be thrilled to catch once a fishing season

Didn't he film one episode in a mall? He was fishing in a pond in the middle?

When I was a kid I was a Tennessee fan because of his hat.

Is Shaw Grigsby (sp) still on TV? He was so annoying.

How about John Fox and The American Angler? There's another one from the past. Made me want to go out and buy every Mr. Twister bait that was ever made.

His original show was "Outdoors with Bobby Meador and Bill Dance" at the WBRZ TV station in Baton Rouge. In his day, Old Bobby Meador was a fishing stud as well.

He was in Opryland Resort fishing in the river that runs through it. Security Guards were chasing him around. It was funny as hell

Team Grandma…When he first started fishing professionally, he could not find any sponsors so his grandma gave him money to go. He had fishing shirts and decals made up that said Team Grandma and wore them to tournaments

Met him with my little boy at BPS not too long ago. I live about 2-3 miles from him.
