McKinnis toasted by Dance

Close friend Bill Dance toasts B.A.S.S. owner Jerry McKinnis over his new award.

Yesterday was a very special one for B.A.S.S.'s Jerry McKinnis as the Arkansas Motion Picture Institute honored him and the recent creation of the Jerry McKinnis Outdoor Film Series & Award.

An elegant meal and an entertaining evening was had by a full house that was a mix of young filmmakers and a few die-hard bass anglers thrown in. The guest speakers for the evening were Forrest Wood and Bill Dance. Dance, who was unable to attend, sent a video for the crowd to enjoy. Dance and McKinnis have been lifelong buddies and we thought the whole B.A.S.S. family should see his "tribute video." Please enjoy.
