Bill Dance?

Question

Has anyone ever met fishing legend bill dance? If so, i'd love to hear the story

Answer 1

Not much of a story but I was fishing a lake when all of a sudden this voice says! Have you had any luck yet and to my amazement it was Mr. Dance in the front of a boat coming our way.All I said was yes sir been using the tips you gave on your shows and articles!(back in the 80's)He laughed and said good luck but before he left I said mister Dance I am using your dancin eel!With that I got a good chuckle and he was gone!
I have seen him several times at boats shows or fishing shows also but the on the water was cool!
Ppl says some crap about Bill Dance now but he earned his right by me,he is still one of my fav's!P.S. he did catch fish cuz we watched him for a bit!

Answer 2

I was on a lake in Mississippi about 15 or 20 years ago.I had noticed that there was a camera crew set up but I was not paying attention as to who or what they were filming.Well I heard a voice on the road behind me yelling"hey Willie 2 Step" I turned around and saw Jerry Clower heading down to the lake.I looked over at the boat launch and there was Bill Dance(Willie 2 Step).
During a break I got autographs from both Dance and Clower.

Answer 3

I never met Bill , but would like to he is my fav .

I did meet the late Tom Mann Sr., He was as nice a fella as could be, and answered every question I asked him , which was a lot in the 30 minutes or so I talked to him. He was a hands on guy with his lure testing and played a big part in the new types of lures we have now. He also did lots of testing on different scents and stuff for bass.

Answer 4

Best known celebrity fisherman I met was Jimmy Houston at a boat show im Amarillo, Texas years ago. I told him I liked his sunglasses and he laughed and took them off and gave them to me. He was doing a fishing demonstration and showed me how to roll cast with a baitcasting rod.
He's just a super nice guy!
