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.
Goona speed up my jerks when going for pearch/pike here in sweden this winter thats for sure. Just stumble upon you chanel but you got a new follower, thats for sure. 🙂
We love the on water content. We don't like freezing. Thanks for doing it for us!
Would love to know your MHX rod specs for JB fishing. Built a few already, but would love to know what you’re using.
So can you jerkbait fish in an ice hole ?
I know I would be in the truck, trying to scite myself up the brace that cold weather, that's dedication, but I'm glad you made a great video, that lake where you were at had some good points, & some great tips that I've never heard before! They say that the weather will be less cold in your area in December than normal!👍🎣
What power and action spinning rod do you use for a jerkbait? I think I'm ready to make the switch from a baitcaster to spinning setup for jerkbaits. I throw a 110 Jr. more often than a full size 110 anyway.
Thank You
GoPro issues aside, that was a quality video very good stuff. Thanks Matt.
That rod looks to have a good bend to it. Is that part of the reason your cadence can be aggressive? Almost as if the bait's not moving very far forward but sort of darting back and forth in place?
Matt, great videos buddy, I love jerkbait fishing, I live on Pickwick Tennessee river, I am sorry but I hate cold weather, so several years ago I ordered some Ice Armor suit and it is good, but I fish year round, I am 56 years old, but good shape, is there some bibs and coats better than ice armor? Thanks buddy
Another tip! Keep spare pair of pliers in boat!
Great video Matt and always love watching on the water as it gives us all a great perspective of what you are doing in different situations. I am happy to say I was able to finally get 4 new Stunna 112s from a Black Friday sale and will be using them for that shallow bite come Spring and fall 2024 as part of my rotation of different jerkbaits!
I watch all your videos, and really enjoy the on the water fishing lessons. I've learned so much and caught many fish by stealing..er, using the techniques you share.
Thanks for the OTW action. It’s obvious from the perspective and comments exactly how you’re working the bait. Invaluable. Great tips.
Thanks for the video Matt.
🍺I found myself hoping for you to catch a keeper almost as much as I did during your tournaments🤠. Speaking of hopes the biggest (fishing) hope of my life, heck I actually 🙏prayed was for the locks to open at Lacrosse.😎
Do you always use a spinning rod an real when jerkbait fishing
The format works, put that in your back pocket when you can launch again,
Great effort Matt. I grew up in WI. AZ heat is brutal; not as brutal as WI winters.
I hope you have a few more days to fish.
Im gonna have to replay this videos because im struggling on jerkbaits, or maybe the massachusett bass doesnt want it
Didn’t expect that hard of jerk at that temp. Loved the sun tip, thanks!
Great video. So why is it that with bass in this cold of water want a blade bait to move the shortest distance possible but trigger a reaction bite but you are really ripping that jerkbait. Randy blauket recommends tiny movements with a jerkbait during winter time water temps. What made you rip it on this day instead of long pauses with twitches?
I love all your on the water content. In fact I like all your content. That’s why I’m subscribed, you keep it all fishing and I like that.
Enjoyed seeing your cadence fishing that jerkbait in late November.
What reel is that, looks sweet.
Love jerkbait videos Matt but, I have questions. 1. Is that monofilament line on that spinning reel? Because, fluorocarbon coils real bad on spinning gear I have read. 2. I see you don't "reel the jerkbait down" after it hits the water. Should I stop doing that and, just jerk it down? 3. You jerk the lure and I notice you then drag it a little distance slowly. I see other videos where they say just jerks, no imparted movement and then I see yours and Randy's saying move it a small distance in between jerks. 4. Doesn't it suck getting a treble hook stuck in your gloves! Haha
Good stuff!!
I like the aggressive way you were working it. That is more my style. I stink at jerk bait fishing overall. I keep working at it when the time comes.
Great video as always Matt, but man you can keep that cold weather and ice stuff up there my friend. 🥶
I'd like to know how you work the deep divers like the megabass 110 plus 2s and 3s or the lucky craft staysee 90. They don't seem to dart like the regular 110 sized jerkbaits
