Even though Bill fished the claimed "private ponds" and catches fish on a
sponsors bait, just take the time to listen to what the man says in between
playing his catch back and forth for 5 minutes.

Filter out most to the commercial talk and hype about how nice the fish is,
and there is some very fine fishing info being given at times.

I agree, Bill should be in the top 5. If you every get to meet him and speak
with him, you will find he has a very genuine love for the sport of fishing.
He also does not have a big head like some of the other pro anglers.

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?
