I was watching Bill Dance and. Captain Peter. Deeks ,what does Bepauw mean. The Captain keeps calling Mr Dance it?
Joe, that was the most awesome interview ever! I am so proud to be a part of this family, it was like I was right there with you. I grew up in Memphis and was watching and learning from Bill before I started to fish. My dad didn’t fish and wouldn’t take me, but I persisted and went when I was old enough to go places on my bicycle. I guess Bill is first reason I love fishing and you are 2nd because you kept me from quitting! That was a story for a lifetime Joe, thanks for doing it for us!
Dave, You & I must be Brothers from different Mothers, Bill Dance was the MOST influential person in my fishing life for Bass. Calling Memphis home, I probably fished every farm pond, creek & lake around Memphis, North Mississippi, & Arkansas from late 60’s to 90’s & now South of Tampa, Sure miss the BBQ.
Thank you, brother Dave!!!
What a GREAT experience for you Joe !! I met Bill Dance in 1969, saw him fishing several times, & the most amazing thing, to me is, with all of his success, he is the same caring, down to Earth fella you will ever meet. I believe he has done more for the fishing industry & fishermen than any other individual in the last 53 years. He’s come a long way from the ” Surplus City ” days !!!!! May God bless Bill Dance !
Amen! He blew me away with how generous he was with his time and energy. He asked me multiple times how he could help out Salt Strong. Always giving and always engaged.
