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.
Very beautiful looking area. Keep plugging away Matt!
Get 'em Matt…lol. โ๏ธ๐๐ฃ
Thanks for the recap. Respectable finish too.. WTG๐๐
Needed some kind of a side bet to count the turtle
Looks on the cool side, yet you're going bare-footin'????
Nice video Matt and the scenery is awesome too. Dale Hollow is a beautiful lake. Hope you caught em on day 2.
That lake looks as good as I imagined. Plenty of close coves to get back into and out of the traffic with my little aluminum. Can't believe you weren't getting more bites. If you had your preference for the area, would you fish Dale Hollow, Cumberland, or Cherokee (or something entirely different)?
Great video, 25 lbs is pretty good for 1 day, beautiful lake, I got put that lake on my bucket list, looks like you were having fun & that is most important!๐๐ฃ
Go getem Matt.๐๐๐
Never Give Up brother.๐๐๐
Definitely my #1 must watch video daily! More people should subscribe.
Matt I will warn you if you ever fish Douglas lake with that color bait hanging over the boat like that you may just have a striped bass jump out of the water and take your pole in. I've seen it twice in the past while fishing there in the summertime. Way to climb the ladder though. Best wishes for your season and thanks.
Sorry I missed you in the middle of the week. Didn't get my boat lined out all late Wednesday and didn't get down there till Saturday. Just keep on digging and ill see you next year at Redcrest.
Gotta love a tournament fisherman who's careful with the fish. Too many anglers just casually yeet the fish back into the lake. Love the intelligent, concise analysis too!
Beautiful place. My small club was there this wknd. The lake is one of my favorites.
Good video Matt, good luck
I'm totally digging those shore line and coves. Way different than I"m used to where I live. For sure some bigs hugging those banks. Just gotta find em
Good luck! Kick their ass Sea Bass!!!
I have never watched your on the water stuff, itโs great! Love it ! Thanks for the content!
Did your big bass hold up for the day ??
53rd
On to the next one.
Thanks for the video Matt. Always enjoy on the water videos
๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
๐บ My pics finished first second third fourth fifth and seventh and I only got 19th place.๐
Whatโs the weight difference between sitting in 20th. And. Top 10 ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Must do forward facing sonar our you won't keep up trying to fish the way you like to fish this day you have to do what you're have to do
Great video! Thanks for sharing your day with us and god luck.
8:am. Fish are done bitting. ๐๐๐
Thanks Matt
Good luck Matt! Nice size fish!
Nice to see some real bass fishing score well in a big tournament. Looking forward to huge day tomorrow!
Fish the moment huh? Sounds catchy! BTW I recently enjoyed my 1st pack of Bridgford Jerky, highly recommend too Jerky fans.
Yet another pro tournament to where if you were not scoping you were hoping! Hats off to Poche making the top ten actually fishing! Great vid as always Matt! Nice to watch an angler actually fish!
Stay with it Matt you got this.!!!
Just looked at scoretracker Wheeler 30# s ahead of Neal in 2nd kind of like watching a race where everyone is a lap down but the leader.๐ฉGood luck at Eufaula!๐๐๐๐๐
Ya got it going, Matt! Smash'em
Nicely done
Great work Matt.
Nice lake, nice countryside.
Looks like you got some good ones. Just not as many as you needed. That's fishing.
My favorite lake, All still Natural, Shoreline un developed, Good luck Matt,
Get em Matt , I wish you luck bro ๐
Water is lower than that cut in the bank , when the water is a lil above those bass hide in that notch in the bank
Look how pretty that country is , big high banks , super nice
