Legendary Old-School Fisherman Bill Dance With a Stringer of Largemouth Bass – Circa 1960s

Before the iconic catch-and-release era swept across bass fishing, it was common to keep your catch—and few did it better than the legendary Bill Dance. Pictured here with a stringer full of hefty largemouths, this snapshot from the 1960s is a powerful reminder of how much the sport has evolved.

Back then, bass were prized not just for the fight—but for the fry pan. Tournament anglers routinely kept their fish, and largemouth bass were a beloved table staple. It wasn’t until the late 1960s and early 1970s that the concept of catch and release began to gain serious traction, born out of growing concern for the long-term health of our fisheries.

But here’s the kicker: catch and release was never intended to be a blanket rule. It was a strategy—one designed to curb large-scale harvest from tournaments and protect future generations of fish. Somewhere along the line, that nuance was lost.

This photo isn’t just a piece of history. It’s a conversation starter. A time capsule from an era when things were different—and a chance to reflect on where we’ve come, and where we’re going.

In my last live feed, I talked about staying warm and discussed my childhood. This is the propane heater that we had in the boat when it got to frigid temperatures. When we fished as much as we did, a little tiny tank wouldn't have worked. We had to have a bigger tank because we would go through too many of them too often. So, we opted for a bigger propane tank to add more fuel to last longer and keep us warm longer on all the trips we did over 10 1/2 plus years, going every single weekend, sometimes multiple days in a single week. We went so often that it wasn't efficient to have a little tiny tank like the little green ones. We actually had to have a legit propane tank that was refillable.
