bill, I may not have watched you since you began fishing in the 70s because I’m only 17 but I had the pleasure to meet you at the bassmaster classic in 2014 i believe, in guntersville and I look up to you. I just lost my fishing partner my grandfather almost 2 months ago and I teared up watching this because you remind me so much of him in how you fish and your wisdom on bass fishing . Thank you so much for what you have done for the sport of bass fishing. Tight lines

[@johnnorthrop5218]

I'd rather be alone on a creek anyday with a backpack lunch and a spare rod...than just about any kind of fishing. Takes me back to my roots - before big boats and motors... I'd pedal my bike with a rod and a backpack and be gone all day. Loved it then...still love it today. Should do more of it! Thanks Bill...I grew up watching you, Jerry, and Jimmy.

[@bamadondon0495]

I'm only 31 but I remember watching Bill on Saturday mornings as a kid I would pick bill over cartoons. I've been watching Bill for over 20 yrs easy... this episode reminds me of home... I'd do anything to fish with this guy!!!

Moving water smallmouth and farm pond largemouth is how my dad got me into fishing. Always my favorites

[@RoyDallasFishing]

Love the river fish 🐟 😍

[@juniorvaldez2022]

love this guy's show, IV been watching bill since I can remember. couldn't wait for the weekend to watch him slay some bass/cats.. wish I can fish with him..

[@trevorholland7]

Mr bill I caught me a 21 inch 4 pound 5 Oz bass yesterday Over a log, first fish of the day and I didn’t expect it at all! We was floating a small south Mississippi creek we usually walk them but we found one that’s easy to float from bridge to bridge and took a John boat! I was just saying it’s fun fishing big fish lakes but nothing will beat walking creeks fishing!

[@hubertbailey8731]

I pray that Mr Dance, the Lord heals you. That He will let you breathe freely, and give you good health in Jesus Christ's Name, I ask this of the Father. Amen... Sir, you would be greatly missed if something happened , never doubt that.

[@adamhalstead2561]

Small river/ big creek bass fishing has something magical about it; there is just nothing like it! I want to camp by a nice little river like the one bill is at for a three day weekend and just take in the beautiful solitude hunting smallies, spots or large mouths..panfish too and some goggle eye aka stump knockers!🙃🎣😉

[@r.f.richardsonjr5691]

"We call them black perch." Up here in western N.Y., we call them rock bass 😉👍

[@dwmjr2253]

He ain't lying,That's how it started for me🎣

[@SlimeDonkeyTV]

Smallies! I go out on tour every July to Iowa, and hit up Tennessee on the way back.. There are a lot of fast moving creeks around that I fish, and had to learn how to do it on my own.. I wish I had seen this video long before now, great content!! Thanks Bill for the informative video!

[@jackofalldenton4347]

I’m just glad to see him catching some regular fish like us regular folks lmao. I feel better about myself now

[@TheZeppelin14]

Bill doesn't sound like he is breathing to well. But he is right, there is nothing like fishing a river, definitely the funnest fishing there is.

[@dadleyblane5]

Yeah, I heard Him breathing hard too. They probably did a lot of walking that creek. He's what now? Close to 80 or more? But, besides that, every tip he gave on this episode my Daddy taught me. We live here in NW Florida and the same principles apply on our creeks and rivers.

[@victorremick9721]

That s real fishing and using a old lure that never gets old!

[@TheRubenGalvan]

I caught my first 2 small mouth when I was 9, in a creek 37 years ago.

[@MarktheMartian]

Bill you are the best!

[@markkindle2222]

Bill tough me almost everything about bass fishing I known

[@exDFAcharliesmith9035]

My favorite thing to do on a hot summer day. Go Wade fishing❤️

[@wyattleslie4615]

My dream is to fish with bill

[@BigSmokeSteve]

Bass Master 14 hell yeah brother

[@mitchcumstein9808]

I always feel like I know Bill personally. I wonder is he the gentleman in person that he is on TV?

[@conniepratt2039]

Wishing I was fishin' w/Bill...😶

[@geralddodd6675]

When you hold a bass horizontally, unsupported, using nothing more than its lower lip you damage the fish and reduce its ability to survive if it is released. The correct way to hold a fish its to either lip it ,and hold it vertically, or if you feel the need to display the fish in a horizontal position, then for goodness sake, wet your other hand, then lift and support its lower body weight with that hand.

[@bobsmith1841]

Sick video dude!!

[@DwayneMcguire]

good stuff Bill

[@calebbrown9344]

You're awesome

[@jaycebutler6313]

Around 3:00 ... breathing hard and extreme shaking... did the same thing when i met him.... hope hes okay

[@bigfatfish4148]

jayce butler dude he’s like 80 something

[@20cameron1]

Can’t beat fishing deep in the mountains in a river. Just make sure to be packing a gun in case of bears.

[@joycedimaggio8345]

Why do you jack open the fishes mouth so much? We all know it's a large mouth.

[@nitramza861]

I'll tell you what...
