Welcome to Ken Smith Fishing's UA-cam Channel. I am a tournament bass fisherman, outdoor writer, home base Dallas but spends as much time as possible at my home in Zavalla, TX on Sam Rayburn aka Ken Smith Fishing World Headquarters. At least every other week I post bass fishing updates on Sam Rayburn and/or Toledo Bend (see that playlist). I also get on the water with experts learning and sharing. Also have an entire series of navigation and fishing tip videos for Sam Rayburn, an older version from 2014 and one we are updating with a better view of the maps in 2018. We also do equipment updates and reviews as we see cool stuff...and don't miss my "Make Me Laugh" Playlist.

Live Scoping Bass When Its 24 Degrees Out
Great video and intro Ken!!!👍
Good job, glad you showed the kids involvement
Gambler and Allison are tops in retained value.
I own a cx18ss with a merc 150 and had it on St Clair and Erie with no issues! Love my Caymas!
Looked like great fun!
I want your boat! Please sir!! How much?!?!?
What is the advantage of the GT-36 transducer vs the GT56 transducer?
Looks like a good day.
I’d guess this is going to kill the grass that’s been growing up the last two years.
Been a dink fest for me the last couple weeks.
Co anglers will do that to ya! Thanks for some great footage!
Good day when Ken’s on the water!
Glad to see another fishing video!!! 👍 What's up with the Bass champs? You just not doing it this year? 🤔 Still loving the video contents Ken!!! 🤠
Always enjoy your videos! Keep’m coming!
Beautiful day on Rayburn.
Great video
Good to see no rods on the deck at 3:30. Always makes me a little nervous when you are barefooted on the front deck.
Keep ‘em coming!!
I'll stick with 50mph or slower on the water 😂
I like the Buckeye Spot Remover in 1/8th for my river. Works great on hook-ups and dont snag much. I just use the one with the screw lock. I use trick and finesse worms with them.
Heck, you done better than me cause is if i see a lake that is that high over pool stage, i wont even think about going.....
It amazes me at the people that I witness at our lake, taking so long backing in a boat or putting it on trailer. 99% time they have trailers in water too far. I love it when they are doing this and finally I get my turn and I just back in run jump on boat and ease my boat up to trailer then the looks they give is like no other.
At least the lake is open. All the ramps at Ray Roberts are closed...probably for another month.
Nice video Ken🤓 haven't fish Grapevine since 86'😬 What about another "Bean 🫘 Footage" fishing at Lake Ray Hubbard🤓🤔 still great content!!! 👍
Tell me about your Garmin force. I’ve had ultrex only and now running force
Oh Ken, I feel for you bud. But I do like your new boat, I just don’t like it a hundred thousand plus that well. Never been to Grapevine either, but even that high in the summer, I’m throwing a a c-rig on a hump or pond dam in 25’ to 35’ especially if I could see bait with those Garmins. Just saying… but what do I know? Better luck next time.
The mark of a fishermen they just keep believing they’re gonna bite
It happens Ken! love the setup
For me, sometimes it's hard to get motivated to fish in the summer after a great spring.
Don’t give up on this lake. Being my home lake, I too have had my glory days and not so much. I think the flood has the fish so scattered it’s hard to find them. Usually when the lake is up 3-5ft, it can be a great flipping bite. I’m pretty sure all boat ramps are closed with it being over 19ft now. Hopefully we can get to normal levels soon but in the meantime, off to Pineland for the best lakes in East Texas.
You should try going to Lake Arlington yeah it’s a dirty lake, but it is fishing really good right right now now..
We’ve all been there at one time or another.
How about 19' over pool. YIKES
So the engineers took a proven design that gave no problems and redesigned it and now have a better chance of failure and the opportunity to make more money off the consumer after the sale.....brilliant!
In sales literature for most aluminum bass boats they refer to them as "modified v" hull.
Nasty weather be careful
This series has been helpful! Wish I had a good way to measure the center of gravity of the boat to help determine weight dist and jackplate setback needed.
When you trim the engine up, aren't you lifting the boat out of the water?(the opposite of down pressure)
When you trim the engine up you are redirecting the force, or propulsion of the motor down. So you are forcing the transom down and the bow up. When a boat starts “walking” that’s often because you are pushing the transom down so much it’s trying to, in essence “squirt” off to the side. Any force you are using to force the boat any direction (up or down) other than forward means you aren’t getting optimal performance. Which is why getting boat balance as neutral as possible so important
Which boat did you choose and in your opinion what was the top 3
Tony my top three were phoenix, bass cat and blazer. I asked for pricing from BC and B and chose the Cat, in hindsight I 100% made the correct decision
I just sold my 2023 Bass Cat Caracal. It was the worst boat I’ve ever own. Loaded terrible and chine walked terrible. Bought a new Ikon and there isn’t a bass cat that could hold its jock strap. Rick Pearce is just a redneck designing boats.
Thanks, Ken. Just ordered a Seaguar hoodie with the discount. Good price.
Skip I have a blue and a grey Seaguar hoodie, love them. What was final price?
Thanks for the heads up Ken.
Does your cover fit?
Steve I haven’t ordered a cover yet
@KenSmithFishing are they gonna do a special measurements do to your graphs
I have the exact same setup for cranking! It’s a great setup!
Loving the Ray Hubbard video Ken👍👍👍 Try the outlet area where the power plant discharge used to be🤫🤫🤫
Hope the damage was minimal
Ken I’m excited to see what is next for the boat. We really want a video on just the boat and how you like it but at only 6 hours you may not know yet I get that. Thanks for the excellent video as usual
We get screwed!!!
Fishing before work. I gotta remember that.
Hopefully the 18' NBT fits putting one on my puma in a week!
