Super User dodgeguy Posted February 3, 2019 Super User Posted February 3, 2019 My prayers are sent. I love Bill Dance. 3
Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 3, 2019 Super User Posted February 3, 2019 Sounds like he's doing well after the procedure -- best wishes to Bill for a speedy recovery! 1
kenmitch Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Here's hoping he makes a speedy recovery! He's one of the good guys! 2
Glaucus Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I've seen some YouTube videos after specifically searching for him, but otherwise I don't know a lot about him. I almost 30. Fairly young yet. He seems like a good guy. Seems to me that for the older guys it would be finding out KVD or Scott Martin was in the hospital. Prayers for a speedy recovery. 2

Bill was a major tournament guy, but his biggest legacy is probably his TV show, which ran more or less continuously for about 5 decades. I watched him as a kid in the 80s growing up. He is one of the the best communicators of fishing information the sport has ever seen. 7

WhaAaaaaa????? I’m 34 and I grew up watching his show every Saturday morning. And he is on every fishing commercial ever. His show actually still airs, including a salt water edition. 2

I stream everything like everyone my age. I learned how to Bass fish watching YouTube videos of guys around my age. Bill Dance is lore to me.
Russ E Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I grew up to his shows. his bloopers are classic. There are tons of them on youtube. hoping he has a a speedy recovery. 2

Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 4, 2019 Super User Posted February 4, 2019 Hey, it's a new era. I understand. I like some of the "New Guard" on youtube, and I dislike others (a situation no different from TV, to be sure)....but they all stand on the shoulders of giants, and Bill Dance is one of the giants. He even published a few books: 3
Kevinator1 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Not even a heart issue can stop Bill Dance......you can only hope to contain him! Great fisherman....great guy....great shows.....one of the first anglers to really take fishing to the next level. God bless you Bill Dance......keep on wetting that line. 1
Super User bowhunter63 Posted February 4, 2019 Super User Posted February 4, 2019 Prayers for a speedy recovery
jebar01 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Healthy recovery for Bill Dance, one of my mentors growing up. His bloopers are CLASSIC! May God be with you Mr. Dance and thanks! 2
tander Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Kinda weird that last year he did a commercial of the new Heritage boat where he was having a heart attack. Best of luck to the world's best known fisherman. Hope he makes a complete recovery.

Super User Tennessee Boy Posted February 4, 2019 Super User Posted February 4, 2019 Praying for a quick recovery. His bloopers have had me laughing so hard, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. 1
volzfan59 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I've been watching Bill Dance since I was a kid. I'm praying for his speedy recovery. Got to meet him twice at BPS. Heck of a nice guy.
