My Profile:
http://www.mattstefanfishing.com/
I was born and raised in Chicago, but after working 12 years in the financial Industry regulating the futures and options markets at the CME/CBOT I decided to pursue my passion fishing professional tournaments and left my full time corporate job. At that point, I moved to Junction City, WI with my wife Sara and two boys Hank and Duke. I’ve been fishing professionally since 2011 and full-time since 2015. I’ve qualified for seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
Matt i know this is an older video and I hope you take this with the intention of helping Your way of wording your videos are coming off as i know everything and 90 percent of you are wrong I like some of your videos but you might want to rethink how you word your titles js
I catch more fish using the sweep. For some reason I've caught a lot of big catfish sweeping.
This would be much more compelling if you were catching fish while doing it. You should integrate footage of actual catches.
You are a man who is incapable of talking without using your hands. Hence why you cannot continue to demonstrate what you're doing while you're talking. My wife is that way too.
I discovered this by trial and error on my first time kayak fishing and using a crankbait. I recognized it will dive when I really crank it – and bass would HIT it immediately. It was thrilling. I’ll def try some of these other techniques!!! Thanks for making this!
2:27 it starts.
I just realized i retrieve way to slow
Great video Matt! I just started to regularly use crank baits and after watching your video a few days ago I did the fast reel, stop, fast reel technique today and caught 3 bass at the end of my morning outing. I would not have caught these had it not been for your video. Tight lines, thanks so much.
WHAT⁉️ No fish? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
God bless you in the name of Jesus amen.
Are you, by chance, related to Norvil Stefan? He taught me how to fly fish and tie flies.
Love the video caught some bass using the the grinder watched other videos be trying those to thinks for the tips
Definitely going to try these thanks
When I throw one withoit any knowledge of how to retrieve. I get a fish every 3-5 cast. You casted so many times but no fish.
This might work w/floating baits but I think if you have a singing bait you’ll just lose lures
Yes. Both learn to retrieve your crankbaits (and every other lure), as well as replace your trebles with chemically sharpened hooks. I guarantee that you will hook more bites.
Yes it costs money, but if you’re a competitor it’s worth it.
So you did all this and didn't catch a single fish
I think first there needs to be a video on setting up your crankbait, weight or no weight. Most are top water baits…
Man I watched this video and thought there’s no way these methods help that much. Ended up going fishing shortly afterwards and nothing was biting so I threw on a crankbait. I said screw it and tried the 2nd method from this video and landed my personal best on 1st or 2nd cast. (I haven’t caught anything on crankbait this year up until now) Needless to say, I’m subscribing😁
thx❤
I’ve ground down a bunch of crank baits at a really stony bottom lake we fish and it works great. Thanks for the tips
These techniques are great for some jerk baits aswell
Thank you for these techniques!
How about using a decent reel made for trowing the bait and retrieve at a better speed with less turns…..?
Wrong. You wanna throw it with bobber n split shot. Let it drfit.
