Love the jig videos. Seems like you are REALLY good with that jig sir! 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Got my first pile of dirty jigs to play with coming. Can't wait to flip timber here in NC with em!
Tight lines, man!
a jig is one of my favorite baits!
Really appreciate your tips on the water videos. Even when you have just a buck and a half. Just watching you live on the water to reinforce all the retrieve videos for example. Cheers!
thanks!
Thanks Matt you answered a lot of questions for me 👍👍
Happy to help!
@@MattStefanFishing you have a scammer
Loved that opening w/audio.
me too!
Thank you for the video
You're welcome
Love it when the rod bends and sings to ya!
me too!
I fish jigs quite a bit in the summer on Southern Wisconsin lakes and do really good around both docks and deeper weed lines.
Your video is very informative 👍👍
thanks for watching!
I also love making fishing videos and really enjoy your content!! Great video!! 🤝🤝
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome looking small lake and morning! Matt, I know you were shooting a pitching jig vid, but dude…some of that bank looked sooo good for throwing a frog too. lol
yep a frog can be killer as well
Love fishing a jig. Beautiful country
It sure is
Great wilderness opening scene, very professional. That opening was only surpassed by the great tutorial, tip loaded information that was presented. I enjoyed that, and saved it to my Jig fishing library. Hook eye angle, sunglasses, parallel with the log--all of it was excellent stuff. I usually carry three different colored glass just because of the conditions you run into. Thanks Matt, appreciate your efforts.
🍺Thanks Matt.
tthanks so much for the support!
Thanks Matt, I’m sure it’s the cameras, but the trailer looked like a lighter blue with accent.
I love your channel, and Randy’s.
its the black and blue pit boss. sometimes you get a pack that are more sapphire than black.
2000 bluegills! Lol. Love it. Nice vid Matt. 👍
Glad you enjoyed
Those BASS have the muffin tops and belly shirts 😆 Matt i love these on the water educational vids they are definitely more my bread and butter, i do like the shop vids of course but seeing how you fish those techniques shop tips and tricks is awesome.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Matt,
I am going through about 50 lbs of soft plastics and replacing most with the pit boss. It’s my go to for flipping, jig trailer, chatter bug trailer, even a buzz bait, but the Deal still has a place in my boat for swim jig trailers.
Mark
pit boss is so good!
More outside content yay! 👍🐟
More to come!
Great video! If you had to choose only one lure to fish with, a jig is hard to beat.
You got that right!
Man Matt they were eating that jig good job great video.. God bless.
You got that right!
Great video, looks absolutely beautiful. Im taking a break from tying up a 7’6 flippin rod (only 8 more guides + tip to go) and I’m jealous of how great this looks. I think I’m going to start hitting up some of these no wake lakes trying to hunt some good largemouths. I NEED some jig fishing in my life.
Pretty sure your in the motion fishing online tournament I’m in arnt you? On my way to the lake now. Good luck
the little lakes can have some great fishing in them!
@@austinhooker9279 not me, I wish I was fishing today but good luck!
Notification popped up for this video as im on my way to the Chippewa Flowage from my cabin
thats awesome! I love the Big Chip!
Thanks Matt. Beautiful bass, and on jigs does it get any better. I have a tournament tomorrow and I am on a good jig/swim jig bite.
Good luck!
@Matt - Light gets polarized when it reflects. Polarized lenses reduce that polarized light so you can see more of the non polarized light coming from under the the water, regardless of the cloud cover.
thanks for sharing
Thanks Matt. Enjoy your vacation. If you get a chance any reason you can think of why I can't catch largemouth on a shad color swimjigs. I do great with bluegill and black/blue jigs but shad patterns not so good. I fish Chesapeake Bay, Potomac and a few local ponds. Mostly throw 1/4oz with dirty jig skirts(crappie,tactical shad and spot remover). What could I possibly be doing wrong.
some lakes the shad colors just dont work as well. Also the shad colors generally seem to be better for me during the spring and fall, not as good in the summer.
Great video with great tips, but was wondering why, why not a topwater bait? It looked perfect for it, being early in the morning. lol
i probably could have gotten bit on it, but the jig seemed to be the best call for me at the time
It’s interesting how those fish on a lake with grass still want to relate to wood. In Florida it’s just not the deal from what I’ve seen even though it looks like it would be. Would be cool to see u do content on that, why on grass lakes sometimes the fish prefer or ignore wood/ rocks
good suggestion! Im putting it on my video list.
I live on Table Rock Lake would like to meet you when you are in Branson , enjoy your videos .
Unfortunatly I just left today. I filmed yesterdays video last weekend.
I just got back from the water and found this video waiting on me. Nice! I was pitching a jig along laydowns and skipping them deep under flooded brush. I was using the 'Stupid Rig' which just means I had a wacky rigged stickbait for my trailer. If you've never done that, I'd suggest you give it a try next time your out on the water. It's stupid how well it works.
Lol that's awesome I just tried it yesterday and man ur right I only caught 4 but my buddy said that was great for the Lil park lake I fished. Big fish was just over 3lbs
lol I remember seeing Mikey Ballz do that as well.
yep it does work! Florida guys have been doing that for a while. I love it for smallmouth as well
I love the color of your bass, just like our tannic water bass. You always jig fish left-handed?
Yes I do!
Great video. I'm looking to build a jig rod. Could I get the Mudhole blank series and blank number for that rod? Also, what oz jig did you pair up with the 3" Pitt Boss. Thanks
Greg
MHX FP 885 with a 1/2oz jig
Really hoping Berkley will make the Maxscent Pitboss soon!
NO KIDDING!!!
Polarized glasses really help you see more of what's happening while fishing 🎣
yes they do
Another great video man! Thank you! Question: do you use live scope or are you old school? Just curious, the way your videos play it seems you don’t. Either way I’m watching.
I use livescope in my professional tournaments but dont let it dictate my fishing style like others. I probably should use it more to help me stay competitive but i guess im more old school as an angler. Id be fine if they banned it but it will never happen.
@@MattStefanFishing that’s fair enough. I myself don’t have the means for all the electronics but would probably have them if I did! I can appreciate the use of the electronics professionally while it’s legal, but I appreciate that you can differentiate between both. Steady rippin man!
I will use a screw lock ewg hook on various crawl baits and a half ounce bullet weight if I want to go weedless
How about that Zman Texas Eye?
thanks for sharing!
Hey Matt, how do you keep track and organize jigs based on weight after they are out of the package? After I have a jig out of the package I can't remember if it's a 3/8 or 1/2 and that matters!! 🤣
i try to keep them separated by size in there own compartment in the jig box
When should I use a NON-skirted jig for dragging a crawfish-type soft plastic?
Very clear water
I make a jig with a perpendicular eye with no offset. I pore it on an offset worm hook and it goes through weeds better than anything I’ve found.
awesome! thank sofr sharing! ive often thought of doing something similar
Early morning, summertime, cloudy skies... I would have done a Choppo video.
Next time!
Nice video !!! BUT HANK AINT GOING TO BE HAPPY ! MAN ? EITHER ONE ! I WAS LAUGHING!
Glad you enjoyed it
Man that looks so easy! Thought I had a good fishing evening 10 perch & 1 roach in 1 1/2 hour. My son had the same bait and caught none. Don’t want him to loose faith but don’t know what to advice… keep it up love your conten.
just tell him to keep casting!
Every time I take my dad out on my boat and even when we take his, he seems to always catch the first fish and usually catches the biggest for the day. We have turned it into a little competition between the two of us.
For me, when I am out fishing with my dad, besides the little competition we have on size and quantity of fish for the day, even If I catch none or way less than him, to me it is more of just being on the water and spending time with Dad. And also, it is just a nice relaxing day away from work.
@@chrismichaelson5668 Let your dad have it. Make him work for it, but let him have his victory. You won’t regret it.
👍🏻🙏🥰
Matt. Thank you for the video. When you say “keeper in Wisconsin”, does thst mean you cook it? And is bass good to eat?
Yes, it’s delicious!
i was just referring to it being over the 14" minimum size limit. I released them. But I will eat them if i hook one that I think will not survive.
What color pit boss trailer was used in the video?
black and blue
Does Berkely srill make a pitt boss chunk? What happened with The havoc line. Some good baits came through that line. The pitt boss, the Smash tube. The grass pig. Some junk came out to though. The sick fish comes to mind. Blatantly rip up the trash fish out of the hardest plastic ever and smelled like someone sprayed raid on them. That might get my vote for the worst looper ever created. I’m not sure who did that when I think skeet Reese though.
no pit boss chunk is made today
How much do you have in the rod your fishing? I have no idea what that costs. Would they be in line or better than Mike G Loomis and Dobbins and some of those lines?
About $200 to build and equivalent to the high end loomis/dobyns/st croix etc
Always good tips! But here's a question...can any bass survive in a pond that lost its oxygen levels?
Unfortunately not
@@MattStefanFishing
That's unfortunate but the same pond went through this about 5 years ago. Last summer I was catching 4 and 5 pounders. Is it possible they survived in the deeper water?
I fish ponds here in Northern Illinois. But if a pond is low on oxygen, bass will die. I am going to share a magician secret: if the pond water smells, if the grass and weed is brown, if you dont see small fish like minnows, bluegill, or panfish, chances are the bass are not there and very likely start to die. When grass, weeds, hydrills are brown, thst means it has used up most of the oxygen. And as you know, photosyhthesis is key. Plants do make oxygen even in water. So if the weeds and grass are green, it has good exygen and bass will be there. Hope this helps.
Was that a bird making that sound in the intro? If so what kind?
Love throwing a jig, great video.
yep it was a Loon
Thanks Matt, have heard it in videos or movies before but never knew what it was.
What's your number one trailer for a jig? Mine would be a chunk
im really liking the 3" berkley pit boss lately. its so good!
@@MattStefanFishing copy that, I'll check it out. Thanks.
where is this lake at and whats the name of it?? i live in southern wisconsin and the fishing down here is really awful, we dont have much of a variety and what we do have is super heavily fished and im trying to find some better lakes to fish and im trying to head up north here in a few weeks and i could really use some good suggestions!!!
any of the lakes in the hayward or minocqua area have fishing 10X better than southern wisconsin
@@MattStefanFishing i used to go up to Webb Lake every year, i would rent a cabin at Rosenthal's but it was sold and the new owner sold all the cabins and stopped renting them out and that put an end to a family tradition that ive been doing since i was 6 now 42 and would do with my family once i had kids and haven't been up in that area since. thanks for replying back, ill definitely get back up there!!!
Was that big foot cooing at the beginning of the video?
haha no it was a loon
Is that a heavy or Medium heavy fast rod?
Medium heavy/light heavy fast action rod. 7'4" 5 power rod.
Please Matt could you give us the BEST FIVE BAITS for LARGE MOUTH BASS !!!!!!
Sure can! Ill put it on my video list!
In iowa the jig is the only big bass catcher
its a good one!
What color pit boss is that?
Black and Blue 3" pit boss

Thanks for the video and reply!!!
I can't figure out how not to snag with a jig. I've lost like 7 jigs in 2 weeks😢
Use a lighter jig
What a way to wake up though. On the Water. And in that area you can catch almost anything .
I can only wish.
so much fun!
Unfortunately, here in Florida, we don't have a small mouth population.
nope but plenty of big bass!
Matt...received a message that I was a prize winner and to text the number given. When I Googled the area code, it didn't match your location.
its a scammer...please report them
I’m a snapper bro , no dragging for me
me to!
@@MattStefanFishing hop hop , thanks
Thanks Matt enjoy your time away with family .How do you keep Matt Stefan from talking? Tell him to put his hands in his pockets😭😭😭
haha!
I have a scammer as well. They are trying to get me to text them. They are using your photo etc.
yeah i know...not real happy about it. Ive reported them but the bots just keep making new accounts
@@MattStefanFishing Thanks for trying.
Matt you have a scammer trying to get me to text him 😁 I know you announce your winners on the stream Just a heads up 🤔🤔
thanks Ill block and report them
Personally, I don't mind videos that include the boys
Thanks!
Pay Matt comment
Thanks!
