Angling Hero Bill Dance - "He was such a wonderful worm fisherman and I had so much respect for him. He was a real inspiration to me, and still is."
Favorite Lake "Every year I have a different favorite lake because the fisheries change."
Least Favorite Lake "I hate to think in negative terms, but I had one tournament at Lake Cherokee in Tennessee and didn't do any good at all. It was the biggest defeat of my life. But I know it's a good lake."
Favorite Technique "There's nothing more fun than a topwater bite, but that doesn't win many tournaments. To win a tournament, you have to get down to plastic worm fishing or a good flipping bite on a jig."
