Fishing Bloopers-Bill Dance

[supersenior]

It's not fly fishing but could be.
I never laughed so hard in my life for 8 minutes!

I have been watching Bill on TV every since it was a local show in Memphis sponsored by Surplus City. He's not getting a lot smarter or more graceful with age. Thanks for sharing I had not seen most of those.

He is a pretty good character I seem to remember the sheriff breaking up his and the owner of Strike King's poker game and when I lived in Collierville, where he built a new house with a nice lake beside it he got caught filling it with a fire hydrant. Not all his bloopers are on video.

Some I had seen before, but there were many I hadn't.
Thanks for the laughs!

It's always hilarious to see a high profile baitcasting bass fisherman make a fool of himself.
Wish I could fly fish some of those privately stocked and maintained ponds he fishes.

Always liked watching Bill Dance but he seems to be a bit of a klutz, best not to fish in the same boat with him.

Considering the number of hours he has had a camera of some type pointed at him since the late 60's or early 70's he may not be doing so well. Hw would your blooper per hour rate compare over more than 40 years. Of course, since I have to pay for my rods, I might be a little more careful but I have stuck a rod tip or two in a ceiling fan.

It's always funnier when those things happen to somebody else. I believe I'll stick to fishing without a video cam on me. Thanks for posting these bloopers.

At the bottom of the page is a list of some of the private bass ponds (Old phosphate pits) that are managed for Pay-to-fish customers.

Some of them have very well appointed accommodations and are very expensive while others are not too bad.
And if bass is not your target, in Eastern PA there are pay-to-fish trout ponds where you pay by the pound.
