I've never caught a DD, and I dont care where I do. It could come from a 1 acre pond in a public park, but ya know what, it'll still put a big smile on my face . I'm not fishing to live up to anyone else's standard of "accomplishment" only my own.
Many on here diss Bill Dance for his shows on a private lake. Why do some of those same folks think it is an accomplishment to land one on this lake?
Why do you go to a grocery store to buy your food when you can rummage in the wild and do it? I would go at the drop of a hat. and gladly parade around pictures of the fish that were caught and not give a damn about what anybody else thought. Getting a fish to bite, hooking that fish and then landing it is why we go. doesnt matter to me. If youve ever fished in a tank/pond, your comment is invalid. Just my opinion.

Its nothing like high fence hunting those are pets. That means every stock pond is considered the same way. Dumbest thing I ever seen.

I grew up fishing private ponds and small lakes on my family place and friends places. Just never paid to do it.

Man, this is a really stupid debate, the DD bass are very few and they don't just grow like that in the wild, most of the big bass come out of lakes and ponds that have been stocked with the right genetics and have the right conditions for this fish.
So if you really look at it, whether is a lake or a pond the only difference I see is that some of this lakes are public and some are private.
I wouldn't care less where it comes from it is hard to hook and land one of this fish, to me that is an accomplishment in it's self
I think everyone is calling the Original Poster a hater...he just asked a question. I didn't see the "Hate" in his post....
He seemed to be stating that Bill Dance fishes private waters to film shows and everyone hates him....we have seen the post go on every year on here.
He simply asked why the Bell was any different than what Bill Dance does. I think everyone jumped on the Hater Bandwagon without seeing his true meaning behind the post.
It makes me wonder too why Dance gets hated on but the Bell gets applauses on here?
