Are you kidding AJH? Bill belongs in the top5. Just look at the early
tournament records, the man was a machine. Granted he sold out commercially
& no longer fishes tournaments, but most pros would tell you that its easier
to get paid to *say* you catch fish on your sponsors' stuff, fish in
well-stocked ponds, be on tv etc... than try to earn a living on the tours.
But Bill was a monster back in the day. No doubt, top 5. Now KVD at
#5...that's questionable.

I see Kevin VanDam was selected #5, that leaves Bill Dance in the top
4..Should he be in the top 4.. He hasn't fished a Tournament in a long
time and now just fishes private ponds which I can understand because of
his TV show. but the top 4 IMO is a big stretch...I know he has caught
many bass on a certain world class (in his own mind) inventors baits but
does he belong in the top 20?
