Ken Smith, Dallas, TX

When he's not busy estate planning as a partner for IPS Advisors, Inc. in Dallas, Texas, Ken Smith is  performing board of director duties for the Our Children's Center of Irving. Ken's also active in Dallas Estate Planning Council, North Texas Estate Planning Council, and Dallas Association of Life Underwriters.

Other than that, he spends every available minute, over 100 days a year fishing with his longtime companion Magpie (the chocolate Lab) who turned 14 this year.

Ken has fished the BASSMASTER Central Open trail from 1993 to 1999, not being able to swing the last few years due to the travel required. Sticking closer to home lately, Ken now fishes two local team circuits, Honey Hole and Media Bass, plus two individual circuits, the BFL Cowboy Division and Media Bass. Ken is one of the reigning Anglers of the Year in his Honey Hole division. Incredibly, Ken has also managed to lower his golf score handicap from a 16 to a 9 while fishing 4 bass circuits the past 12 months. All that pitching and flipping helps hone the old golf stroke says Ken!
