than anyone...I'd rather have Bill's money that the Greatest Angler
Title...

In 78 BASS tournaments, Bill finished in the top ten 40 times. Even
without a win, that statistic would be astounding. But he did win. seven
of those 78 tourneys, to be exact. In both 1968 and 1970, he outright
won 3 of the 6 tourneys BASS put on. No-one else has come close to the
kind of dominance Bill exhibited during the first 12 years of BASS'
existence.

You can't hold being a shrewd businessman against him!
