Some of his blooper compilations are hilarious.

Thanks for posting this. Dewey Warren was my 1st TN hero and Mr Dance was next. TN Vols and bass fishing ranked at the top then as well as now.

Pretty sure the mods nuke and/or edit threads in the football forum that start with just a name.

Bill Dance Outdoors is still producing new episodes. It is the oldest, longest continuously running fishing show in the USA. Arguably, it's the most popular.

One of my favorite answers to viewers' questions was Bill stating that he liked his wife's crappie salad (like tuna salad but with flaked crappie).

I meet Bill @ an outdoor Ducks Unlimited event once. Super nice guy for sure. I asked him a bass fishing strategy question thinking he would give me some 10 second reply well he talked & talked & talked on for 20 minutes. He is the real deal for sure.

He must really love Tennessee cause he could make millions wearing another hat with a company logo on it

This was his shows original song. I remember it as a small kid.

He lives around Collierville which is where I grew up. My brother sees him often and he has even given him some rods and such. He seems to be a genuinely nice guy.

Wasn't the rod he broke closing his tailgate
That was my favorite blooper.

I like a lot of them but the one that always makes me laugh, even after watching it I don't know how many times, is the reaction to the snake dropping on him. (There's some others included in this link)

Nope but I think my brother broke it while using it in another way.
