tallydude Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Bill Dance was down here about 2 weeks ago to be inducted into the IGFA Hall of Fame. He stayed an extra day to sign books at the Bass Prp Shops in Ft. Lauderdale. For those of you who haven't had the opportunity, Bill is one of the nicest people I have ever met. My buddy Mike and I got to talk with him for about 45 minutes. What an incredible, congenial person he is. I really can't say enough about how nice he was. Just so you know, he says his favorite fish to catch is smallmouth and his favorite body of water is Pickwick Lake. Anyway, here is a pic. From left is me (flying the UK blue), Bill Dance, my buddy Mike, and Bob Rich, who wrote the book that was being signed. Quote
