One of the most eye opening days I&#8217;ve ever spent on the water that changed how I fish permanently. John was tracking &#8220;Missy&#8221;, the 15.5 pound trophy caught my Fork Guide Dennis Canada that at the time was one of the 10 biggest fish that had ever been caught in Texas. He showed me how sound and motion affects her behavior, and how difficult it is to approach a truly huge largemouth bass, you will think differently about your fishing after you hear my experiences that day.<\/p>\n<p>For more about my day with him and John&#8217;s work see the article I wrote for Gary Yamamoto&#8217;s Inside Line Magazine here <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3cGtwnJ\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3cGtwnJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Radio Tracking trophy bass, radio tracking huge bass, radio tracking record bass, tracking bass with radio telemetry, tracking record bass with radio telemetry.<\/p>\n<p>#RadioTrackingTrophyBass<br \/>\n#RadioTrackingHugeBass<br \/>\n#RadioTrackingRecordBass<br \/>\n#TrackingBasswithRadioTelemetry<br \/>\n#TrackingRecordBasswithRadioTelemetry<br \/>\n#KenSmithFishing<\/p>\n<p>TackleWarehouse Clearance Items <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYCNzi\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYCNzi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>6th Sense Tackle &#038; Gear Clearance <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bU07GT\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bU07GT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>6th Sense Rayburn Spring Box &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Py8TS9\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Py8TS9<\/a><\/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.<br \/>\nOn my channel I show lake reports from Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend, tournament footage, footage on how to practice for tournaments, product reviews, map study, how to read and interpret your electronics, equipment, all the things that I\u2019ve gone looking for from other sources over the years. <\/p>\n<p>Many of you have expressed an interest in supporting Ken Smith Fishing, when you purchase from my partners 6th Sense Fishing using my discount code Ken10, or Tackle Warehouse using one of the links below you are 100% supporting Ken Smith Fishing and your patronage is very much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>6th Sense Fishing Products <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/6thsensefishing.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/6thsensefishing.com\/<\/a> 10% discount code KEN10<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just going shopping at Tackle Warehouse using this link supports Ken Smith Fishing more than you can know <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2S4dFY6\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2S4dFY6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My current favorite all around Lew\u2019s Reel in the 6.8-1 ratio <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2O7hVEG\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2O7hVEG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other products I use and believe in:<\/p>\n<p>Minn Kota Ultrex <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/313vD0F\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/313vD0F<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Humminbird Helix 12 G3 Chirp <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RWpDCV\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RWpDCV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Best Line for the $ \u2013 Seaguar InvizX <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/36CmVb4\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/36CmVb4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Best line if $ doesn\u2019t matter \uf04a &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Gzs60T\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Gzs60T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Big D trolling motor handle <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYLDyo\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RYLDyo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>GoPro Hero 8 Black  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2uiRPYR\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2uiRPYR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>YOLOtek PowerStick <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3be8E7K\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/3be8E7K<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Power-Pole Blades Power-Pole Wireless Foot Switch <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/36UY56h\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/36UY56h<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rapala Touch Screen Scale <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RWnvwe\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2RWnvwe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Loc-R-Bar Alarm System <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ty6eQC\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ty6eQC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you plan to do any shopping, using our links before doing your shopping at Tackle Warehouse is the single greatest way to support Ken Smith Fishing!
