How to Bass Fish with a Texas Rig | Bill Dance Outdoors

[@DTF_Outdoors24]

I remember waking up Saturday mornings as a kid and watching bill dance, jimmy houston, Roland Martin and hank Parker. Man those were the days! Would be so cool to fish with such a legend!

[@RonaldBryan-n8p]

I whole heartedly agree the Texas rig has served me well for a lot of years in several different locations

[@JasonT_76]

Been watching Bill Dance since i was a kid. Texas rig is my #1 favorite bait to fish!

[@tonytharp7315]

I'd love to be a more versatile bass Fisherman, but the Texas rig has always been the most effective and it's what I stick with.

[@kolemartin5271]

Carolina rig for me, been fishing a U tail worm with a split shot since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Tried and true all year. Just burn that sucker back to the boat/ bank

[@Turkeymaster740]

Not always effective but that's why your a lousy fisherman😂

[@kolemartin5271]

@@Turkeymaster740 👍 you probably ain’t never even seen a Turkey

[@RichBerdion]

Absolutely, I love using worms with Texas or Carolina rig during summer. Definite summer killer!

Hey Bill, GREAT show, I’m getting ready for my 2 day BFL Super Tournament on Lake Oconee, late September here in Georgia, THANK YOU for ALL of your wisdom and knowledge in bass fishing, YOU are the reason I wanted to be a Professional Bass Fisherman, I really would like to meet you, My Mentor, one day and go fishing, after all, I learned how to set the hook from you and I’m very PROUD to have learned , not only that , but to enjoy what I do as a fisherman, I’m still on the journey, and Dream Big, of the day I can make a living from bass fishing, I can still recall watching you EVERY Saturday after Mid-South Wrestling with Lance Russell and Dave Brown on WHBQ in Memphis Tennessee, then waiting at the end to learn about the lures you used and bought from Surplus City, then , I would BEG my parents to take me there so could get the same lures you had and used, THANKS Bill, I REALLY appreciate you, God Bless, and my FAVORITE blooper segment is when you were at Reelfoot Lake, you were drifting and you put your hand on a tree that was sticking out of the water and the tree broke and you lost your balance, I can still see that footage now, I can’t THANK YOU enough for what you have done for me in my journey, THANKS again Bill 🎣

The man, the myth, the legend.

And….just like that I am an eleven year old with a Zebco 404 bank fishing. I love you, Bill Dance

[@Crappie_Day]

Man.. I can see why people can get nostalgic to earlier videos. :)

[@mpybals8002]

Purple Tom manns plastic worm Texas rigged ahhh the good ole days. Me and my brother saved our money got a pack pack in I would say 1982 and I didn’t think they would work because we were using live frogs, leeches, worms, and basically anything we could catch. We were fishing from shore and just casted and reeled in and absolutely hammered 1 to 3 pound bass. The stringer was almost to heavy ride a bike back home. Now I have a tackle boxes of lures all over the place and haven’t eaten a bass in fifteen years I only catch and release.

[@thegamingchef3304]

It's funny how everyone has different experiences with different bait. Personally I have the best luck with top water lures like Buzz Bait.

[@jukebox5308]

I use Enticer perfect worm rig - easy Texas rig no slip sinker

I still fish a Texas rig and it still catches them for me

[@twaodood5106]

What do you think of the DOUBLE FLUKE RIG?

[@Battleforabilliondollars]

2:55 what does he mean when he says the fish is "ill" ?

[@rwoody00]

I think he means sick

[@kolemartin5271]

No he’s saying the fish is pissed off, fighting hard.

[@rwoody00]

​@@kolemartin5271 It seems to have been edited out now

[@delchick22]

@@rwoody00? What was edited out? He still says the fish is ill…you can tell he means mad/fighting.

[@rwoody00]

First comment 😂

[@WeldSmokeWrench]

im the fourth comment why are we saying this

[@rwoody00]

What i dont understand is how you work a texas rig. With wacky, you basically just let it fall, reel up, flip, fall, repeat. With a drop shot I'm casting and basically letting is sit or slowly reel. bounce it off the bottom slowly?

[@clay7514]

Let it fall on semi slack line all way to the bottom.Pick rod tip up 6 inches or so with slow hops. Slowly crawl It over cover. Alotta hits happen on fall or as soon as it hits the bottom for me

[@rwoody00]

@@clay7514 I will say I adjusted my weight down (used a 3g egg sinker) some and felt like it had a better glide action. I was using 3/8 tungsten before...

[@MrTVintro]

Feels weird watching a "real" one. At any moment I'm expecting the camera man to fall into the water or the outboard motor taking off on its own.

[@gavilangaragellc]

So Texas rig and Florida rig? 🤔

[@raymonddesmond8869]

Have you ever seen a bird in a toilet? LOL.

[@donavanlafontsee1194]

I never caught anything on fake bait. I catch good on meps spinners if I'm trolling. If I'm not trolling. Chicken nuggets from McDonald's work the best

[@benmontgomery2909]

I cringe every time he lips a bass. He holds them horizontally and likely inflicts serious injuries to their jaw. Old timer should know better.

[@colorado_koolaid2625]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees this 😅
