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.
As a bank fishermen, I love your channel especially these retrieval videos of baits and lures I use. I have liked a few so far and plan on saving more. Thank you for a great channel and videos!
You have to keep in mind the eye angle, head shape and weight. All three are super important! The eye angle dictates retrieve. The head shape dictates the way the water pushed over the tail. The weight dictates how fast or slow the movement, roll and tail action of the bait will be.
Man your pretty much my go to. Even though I’m in the south fishing Lanier mainly all the content is applicable to my fishery.
Would this work for walleyes also?
Matt, I usually straight retrieve with rod twitches. Do you do this?
Also, I think your man nipple swallowed your mic in the intro. 😄
Hi Matt, would you fish the same for a darter jighead? I have been hooked by your contents. Thanks.
Seems like you switch between left and right hand retrieves in these videos, which blows my mind.
Swimbaits are one of my favorites for deep water bass. They also catch walleye on those days when the wind has them in the shallows.
Matt always dropping the juice! I live sleep and breath fishing and I’ve learned so many tips on fishing baits from this channel.
Could you make a video on the fluke style worm..? And the ways that you can fish it? My favorite way to fix it is Neko style because I think the end of that worm is designed perfectly for a nail weight! But I think there are a lot more ways that you can fish that bait, drop shot style, the way that I just mentioned with a nail weight in the end fishing it Neko style.. but could you make a video on that particular one? Thanks
Have you ever put a 3* or a 3.25 " swim bag, like some kind of ribbed swim bate kind of like a strike King paddle tail swimbait, and put a light bullet weight in front of it with your swimbait on a ewg style hook and fished it that way? Because I have caught them burning it like that and then stop the retrieve, and then let the bullet wait fall and it looks like that swimbait is chasing something to the bottom in a lot of times I will catch them on the fall as that swimbait is falling after that weight..
Thanks bud, I like this series 👊🏼
I wondered how you would break off the snag. Thanks for including it and making it real.
This series on bait retrieves is absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Wish you did one on the speedworm.
This be the only Channel I watch now. Hats off to u Matt.
Was out on Hartwell two days ago really could have used this video then lol
Hope you do frogs soon, I can't get any confidence because every time I try, they just spasm to one side.
Head weight on the jig please.
Does this also apply to weedless rigged swim baits?
I love throwing small swim baits, but man do they get hung up. Risk reward though!
It's always great to hear your advice ,keep up the great work on the channel, have a great day .
Thanks Matt, definitely one of my weaker technics. I have 200$ worth of swimbaits and about 10 bass to talk about. I do vary retrieves but will give yours a try. Now show me how to hook a bass on a frog and I will hit the trail.
I pair the Dirty Jigs Matt Stefan Guppy Swimbait Jig Head 1/8 oz 1/0 on a 2.8 Keitech Swing Impact FAT Swimbait on my Old 18 Suppressor – 7'0" Ultra Light Casting Mod-Fast rod pair with a Shimano Aldebaran BFS on 3lb Sunline Super FC Sniper Fluorocarbon. The fight is absolutely orgasmic, LOL!!! BFS Rules!
Keep the good job… Saludos from Mexico
I also like to use a small football jig head and bounce it on the bottom. Stands up real nice.
Thank you for the video.
Love these videos is it possible to also add the line size rod size for matching what you are throwing
Great stuff man. I just won a tournament by dragging a 3.8 swimbait on a swing head on points 17-20' deep.
All the retrieves are very helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the videos Matt!! Between you, Johnny, and Randy one day I’ll know how to fish.
