Thanks for all your GREAT wisdom and knowledge, Im 45 and just started fishing. I have learned so much so fast thanks to you Sir. Gladly appreciate you. Your the GOAT

[@LillyLegacyWWOD]

For those of us who started on the bank or in a kayak, the lesson of fishing slow and thorough is a deeply ingrained one. Now that I have a boat, I haven’t forgotten it!

[@linvallewisbassin3778]

Agreed. Beating the bank for years made me a better angler when I did get into fishing out of boats.

[@NotAMartian-1]

Agreed!

[@christianmullins435]

This man has been teaching me new stuff about fishing every time i watch his videos for the last 20 years

[@rudder645]

Mr. Dance, I want to thank you for making this video. I watched it last night and adopted the philosophy to my trip today taking a customer fishing at a limestone quarry in Florida. I landed a SLOB today, my 2nd biggest bass to date, 9.6lb. I discussed the video with my customer and he also slowed it down. It made for an amzing day and I owe it to you. Folks, the method works. I plan to soon retrieve my baits in a swimming pool so I can see how best I can get it to swim looking natural. I'm 55 and still learning. Mr. Dance, I'd love to fish with you one day, you are welcome to come as my guest in some special places in central FL, I have access to, Appreciate you.

[@Daddiditfirst]

I’m local CFL and I would love to take you up on a meet and fish. I have a lake in my own backyard and it is the best fishing I’ve ever had. Reply to let me know if interested.

[@melissasullivan2459]

I grew up watching Bill Dance on TV and I continue to learn tips and tricks from you sir. THANK YOU

[@machinegunhippy]

Me too

[@RichardBarry-p8z]

Yeah he's the man .! me too Bill has the charisma and excellent teaching skills..

[@williamparrish673]

Bill, I want to thank you. I comment on other channels and I guess it goes in one ear and out the other cause I never hear from them. I comment ONE time on your channel and to my surprise you replied! I think it just shows how down to earth , genuine great guy. Hope you have a good off season if there is such a thing.

[@dalemyers9439]

Bill you are so right. I watch these folks retrieve at warp,speed almost jerking the bass out of the water. When did that become the norm for receiving nice fish. Great video and wisdom Bill!

[@isaiahdelacruz8703]

Excited to take the picture and post it 🙄😢

[@russellwhite7676]

I have a x10 twin troller and I’ve always fished slow! I grew up watching Bill Dance and now I can continue at 65 years of age!

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

Bill hope you're catching some nice Bass today, thanks for the video, and life long knowledge sir

[@edbrown6985]

Always good stuff from you bill.ive been watching you since the early 80s.

[@HowieDewitt7575]

We love you & your Dance n Lessons Bill Dance!

[@davidcrump2348]

Thanks Bill. I agree. It’s go, go, go but I say no, no, no. Fish slow, slow, slow.

[@jerrylanglois7892]

Bill, been watching you on tv since 1970 when you did shows with bobby meader in baton rouge. Thanks for those 54 yrs....and more to come from the best bass fisherman ever.

[@joshwagner8468]

Let's freaking goooo. Love your channel Bill.

[@hanburgundy4317]

Hey, Bill! Thanks again for the tips - I grew up watching your show, and it's great to still be able to watch you on KZbin. The water is still cold up here, but at least it's not ice anymore lol

[@kimsatterfield2749]

Bill I watched you when I was a kid you are the best bill if I could fish with anyone in this world it would always be you

[@jamesmills2896]

Damn Dance! Thanks again.

[@williamparrish673]

Bill , I just had a good idea ! Uh oh. Have Johnny start a QVC/ home shopping network to sell his goods. It would be a big hit , he could get rid of returns . Sell limited production items. Have celebrity's on the set . Lure designers, manufacturing big wigs and even bass fishing legends like yourself. I'm telling you it would work and work well. And I don't mean banjo minnow infomercial. I'm talking a full on sporting goods shopping channel. I'm sure his competition is looking into it. Dad always said , it's who gets there, firstist with the mostist is the one who wins the fight.

[@linvallewisbassin3778]

Bill just put together a 30 sack like nothing😳😂

[@chrisboyd1408]

Excellent. I have always enjoyed Bill Dance fishing shows. Thanks for sharing. God Bless!

[@woodystrapping]

Another great one bill, with some good advice 😁👍✔️

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

That is the deal mostly. Make your bait look as life like as possible! I fish ALL Quantum in bass tournaments! Smoke, throttle,pulse,vapor,and accurist!

[@joeturner1195]

Mr Dance if you going to get a trolling what brand and model would you get also if you were getting shallow water anker system what brand or model would you get looking and needing some helpful advice thanks

[@rogerhallau5284]

I fish with friends & family & I often outfits them. They are fishing too fast. I try to imagine the lure I' m throwing as a natural bait & I try to mimic how they move in the water & on top of the water. Except for rare times, the majority of the fish I catch are the ones where I believe the lure is being retrieved in a natural motion & speed of retrieval. I want the lure to resemble a living thing as much as possible.

[@6cwl9]

The local neighborhood lake that I fish everyday even if for only 15 min was a great spot here in southeast Virginia small but productive until this past weekend I showed up and noticed a couple dead bass floating the walked down the bank and noticed at the one end was full of dead and dying bass and some other species but mainly bass after reporting it to the epa the test showed salinity levels were 1.8 so they died from saltwater I assume from the Elizabeth River but idk and I don't know if anything is going to be done about it. My heart broke when I seen so many dead bass and dying I felt helpless I've saved multiple water birds from fishing line and tried to clean up trash all the time but I couldn't fix this I don't know what to do if anyone has any suggestions please let me know thanks don't take your favorite spot for granted because it can be gone overnight

[@SethAlverson-wk9bs]

I would write a personal letter to the B.A.S .S. association and see if they would write back and maybe work something out to get your story out

[@newblakestone]

Who else sings along :)

[@williamfloyd7687]

When will you vist the store in Lexington ky

[@timzajeski5950]

Does he ever fish a public lake? Do all you guys who love him really think that he is catching these fish this easy everywhere he goes. This is filmed at a private STOCKED lake as most of his shows are!

[@deltongoi7484]

I mean yea probably but it’s not about the fish it’s about these life lessons and fishing lesson that all folks can live by

[@gregduvall663]

I have heard you say that Jesse on several times .my uncle James Demastus was from Columbia Tn . He used the team. That Jesse . What does That Jesse mean ?

[@chancelr]

Bill, do you use monofilament line while jig fishing? If so, why? A lot of pros today say you should never use it.

[@krdpoutdoors]

i use monofillament all the time , some pros such as Brian Latimer say use monofillament is a hell of a lot cheaper then braid and its so forgiving that monofillament wont give you backlashes or nightmare headaches to deal with. instead monofillament has tendency to wanna be forgiving and help your line float off the bottom.

[@chancelr]

@@krdpoutdoors I like the sensitivity of braid and fluoro but they feel so limiting when I am in tournaments as a coangler.

[@krdpoutdoors]

@@chancelr monofillament is gonna be your best friend , because with monofillament line especially the zebco omniflex monofillament at walmart for $2 "now" but pick that up and you can feel when they bite because when they bite on monofillament you're gonna feel a thump or when they bite it so you can set the hook if you feel a thump then that means they are hooked and ready to fight guns blazing all i will use is 12 pound monofillament zebco omniflex , plus iwith monofillament it dont matter how much you backlash on your baitcasters or how many times your line breaks monnfillament is extremely forgiving and cooperates with you meaning that monofillament will work with you vs the unforgiving headache nightmare you would have to deal with if to say for exmaple using spider wire.

[@smallfish6355]

In my opinion 15lb flurocarbon can’t be beat for jig fishing. The line has a bit less stretch than mono which helps for hooksets and gives better sensitivity. I use a braid backing 50% of my spool an I tie fluro leader the rest that way if I nest I don’t have to throw as much line out

[@krdpoutdoors]

@@smallfish6355 if thats 100% your prefrence then by all means do what works best for you. What im saying is that from using monofilament for over 27 years and seeing from exsperience when my brother's used spider wire the unforging nature of braid that the spier wire alone made my brother's switch to monofillament , from my personal exsperience monofillament alone has saved me a hell ton , its extremely forgiving which because las october i got stuck or caught up so i was pulling hard as i could to the point that i thought either my Ugly Stick GX2 pole is gonna break or my spinning reel is gonna break something is gonna give well much to my suprise the monofillament due to its forgivng ness ended up breaking on me while my spinning reel broke beyond the point of no repair

[@johnguth5376]

Have u ever sold Fuller Brushe's ?

[@cute_animalsanddrawingvideos]

I'm too old to go to fast

[@williamparrish673]

Fellas, it's a TV show. You know like yellow stone is. He's been making half hour of content every week for a hundred YEARS. Just think about that for a minute, if you can concentrate that long and close your mouth while you breath. If he wants to shoot a show on private lakes who cares. You can watch all the public lake fishing you want it's called tournament fishing. Talk about BORING. ITS A TV SHOW!

[@jaybeee4003]

Yea pretty easy on an trophy stocked private lake that nobody fishes! Notice how he never states where he’s fishing? Never a public lake! Hence every bass being huge!

[@kenneth9874]

Bill proved that he could smoke you years ago on the tournament trail....

[@Mendozer7502]

Wish I could get access to these private lake/ponds and get some of these monsters.
