Team Grander from Charleston, SC is led by Owner & Captain Scott Smith, a proven tournament competitor and grandson of Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith, who pioneered the sport of king mackerel tournament fishing along the Carolina coast. Scott proudly carries that legacy forward, blending competitive drive with entrepreneurial vision.

As the founder of Grander Custom Tackle, Scott has built a respected brand within the offshore fishing community focused on high-performance tournament gear and innovation. His success on the water and in business has earned him features in sportfishing magazines, television appearances, national fishing shows, and industry speaking engagements.

Scott’s middle son, Wilson Smith (11), has already built an impressive junior angling career with multiple junior tournament wins and is currently ranked as the top angler in Division 3. Alongside them, Co-Captain Keith Logan, owner of North Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters, brings decades of experience and local knowledge, making Team Grander a formidable presence on the tournament trail.

Rounding out the crew are Scott’s other sons, Scott Jr. and Layton, along with lifelong fishing buddy Kelly Fisher, whose dedication and versatility strengthen the team on every run.

The team fishes aboard a 42’ Freeman catamaran powered by quad Yamaha outboards, outfitted with cutting-edge technology including Garmin marine electronics, Starlink connectivity, SiriusXM Fish Mapping & Weather, and advanced offshore fishing systems. With this platform, Team Grander competes in premier king mackerel tournaments across the Southeast, consistently chasing wins when money fish are on the line.
