Todd is updating us on the study they are currently doing using telemetry, or basically a radio transmitter implanted in large mouth bass from 3 to 8 pounds in Toledo Bend and Lake Fork in Texas. Specifically today he talks about what fish do after they are caught and released and ,what they have discovered about how far fish travel on a daily basis, all things they have discovered roughly 5 months into the study.<\/p>\n<p> They are tracking both shallow and deep bass, every other week and observing what those fish do, how they react to boat noise, where they rest, where they feed, how they react to baits, survival rates, every thing we tournament bass fisherman want to know. This is part two of five or six total videos in the update Todd gives us 5 months into their two year study.<\/p>\n<p>My Instagram page <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kensmithfishing2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kensmithfishing2.0\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Waterland Optics (remember code Ken10 gets you a 10% discount) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2AqabKo\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2AqabKo<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>TackleWarehouse Clearance Items <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYCNzi\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYCNzi<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>For electronics help reach out to Jones Trolling Motor &#038; Electronics at 870 773 3474 or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gCyuog\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3gCyuog<\/a> and please let them know you found them through Ken Smith Fishing <\/p>\n<p>#Kensmithfishing #todddriscolltp&#038;W #radiotrackinggiantbass<\/p>\n<p>Avid Tournament angler, outdoor writer, have won a few Angler of the Year titles including the Cowboy BFL, and a second place AOY finish in the Okie BFL and many tournaments over the years.
