It’s great the way this year is going for you. It seems your head is in a good place and you’re making good decisions. I hope everything goes smoothly the rest of the season. Thanks for taking us along.👍
Yes! This is a perfect follow up video to your on the water video showing you break down the water/presentations. These videos are great details/context to understand how they connect us to the whole picture (e.g. fishing multiple day average vice single day bags). Great stuff!
Thanks for posting. I am just a weekend guy and feel I learned a lot from your very well organized presentation. I subscribed so I can follow you in the upcoming tournaments.
Congratulations on another great finish, Matt! Really enjoy and appreciate your recaps! Hope you contine to have great success the rest of the year. God bless!
You, sir, are on fire! Between the hover rig and your tournament results, you are just killing it. Your videos are also covering great topics and contain tips galore. Carry on!
Good job at Eufaula! ! It can fish pretty small with the Dam area and some of the creeks down south being predominate. It’s a tough one when the wind is blowing, as is normal in Spring. Be safe and good luck at Lake of the Ozarks where the big waves aren’t from the wind!
Matt buddy, you're hanging in there in 2nd in AOY points, AWESOME MAN!!! I recall the Potomac suits your fishing strengths, and LaCrosse is just a hop, skip, and jump from your home. So, it seems to be setting up perfectly for your shot at being crowned AOY!👑🎣🤴
I really think you had a great plan for how you fished Eufaula. I had a feeling the second day weights were going to go down just based on what I was seeing while watching the live stream. On to the next lake!!!
This was a reall y awesome breakdown on your lures and stratagy!!! I sure hope I get to finally meet you at Lake of the Ozarks tournament!!! Your coming to my home lake and cant wait to see you slay them!!! Get those Hover rigs and jigs ready!!!
Congrats again on your standings. Keep it up! And your wife is a good camera person, I guess steady hands are a plus given her career. Randy had a tough tournament, couldn't keep'm buttoned up. Hope his year turns around. Yours is booming.
Nice job on your last tournament! Could please have core tackle design a new weighted wacky hook? They don't have a large enough gap to hook fish! I lost six of my seven fish in a tournament yesterday! If I would have landed five, I would have won first place.
Make that $! Congrats, and here's to your future success, (heavy cover hover rig, hint, hint) Quick rod question for an accomplished builder...I bought a clearance XHVY Okuma swimbait travel rod for 60$. It was listed as casting, but looks like saltwater spinning, with double footed guides. Am I in danger of breaking the rod if I use it "upside down"?...assuming I even know which way it's supposed to go; no trigger. Casts spin and BC just fine. Thanks, if you have anything to offer.
Matt which sunglasses do you prefer and which color lenses. There’s a lot of different choices out there and I feel like someone that’s on the water all the time would know what’s best. Congratulations on your tournament finish. Seems as though you are making good decisions on the water. Hope you have success the rest of the year.
I'm old school, basically took a couple of decades off from fishing and have never even thrown flourocarbon line. Is Berkley 100% your general fluoro, or is it just for certain situations? I've been looking at all the choices and haven't decided on one to try yet.
Not to totally slam Randys recap vidieos. Well lets do it anyway so his recaps are like way to many livescopers way to many boats oh the co anglers suck god somebodys has to stop rich people from building houses. Well enough about that cant believe you guys are sponsored by the same company. Anyway good job out there hope to see you in LAX sometime when the river gets below 20 ft. congrats boss have a good weekend.

Thanks so much! The effort is starting to pay off!
Nice job adjusting to the conditions.
thanks!
I really appreciate your narrations and breakdown on the gear that you used . I enjoy your rod builds also
thanks so much!

Matt, love your follow up information after the tournaments. Good luck and please keep the information coming.

Nice!!!! Good finish again sir...
much appreciated!
Excellent update and congrats on a strong finish @ Eufaula.
thanks
Congratulations Matt. You were just down the road from me. Got my hover rig today can’t wait to fish it.
awesome!
Do you think the hover rig is all that different than what Gussy did to win the Bassmaster Classic???
completely different honestly
Great fishing and AOY standings. Nice work.
thanks
You are going to be really close. If I can find a way, I'm going to try to make check in. Love your on the water videos.
awesome!

3 down and 3 to go!
Thanks Matt. Keep it going!
Will do!

On to the next lake!!!!
Great job. Enjoy the breakdown of the baits and your thought process on each one. Continued good luck.
Thanks!
Really like these breakdowns. From your recent Interview on BTL It's easy to see the importance of getting that 5 fish Limit 1st.
limits are important!
This was a reall y awesome breakdown on your lures and stratagy!!! I sure hope I get to finally meet you at Lake of the Ozarks tournament!!! Your coming to my home lake and cant wait to see you slay them!!! Get those Hover rigs and jigs ready!!!
Im looking forward to it!
Great job & info. Thanks for sharing 🎣 good luck rest of your season 👍
thanks!
Good job, Matt
Thanks!
Good job Matt!
Thanks!
That hover has so much action when you twitch it and let it fall , the action is so good
yes it does!
Good luck on the upcoming tournament.
thanks!
🍺Thanks for the breakdown and the reasoning.
you bet!
👍👍👍 Congrats on another good tourney.
thanks!
Congrats again on your standings. Keep it up! And your wife is a good camera person, I guess steady hands are a plus given her career. Randy had a tough tournament, couldn't keep'm buttoned up. Hope his year turns around. Yours is booming.
Got to keep it rolling!
Awesome job! Keep moving forward
thanks!
Congratulations and keep it going and good fishing 🎣
Will Do!
Hi Matt could you shoot a video sometime to explain how you shake off fish with various bait styles and treble vs single hook. Thank you
yep! good subject!
Please keep doing these gear breakdowns after the tourneys. Very insightful as to why you used what when you did. 👍
will do!
Awesome dude, keep it rolling 👍
Will do!
Good luck at the next tournament!
Thanks!
Congrats on a good tournament and thanks for the indepth recap. What gear ratio do you use on your swim jig reel?
8.0:1
Matt well done buddy 👏
thanks!
Congrats! God Bless!
Thanks!
Good for you . Keep it up 👍 Go Wisconsin
Thanks!
Thanks Matt, the scent of the Berkey baits is incredibly in dirty water. ...It was all crank bait today (crushed them), All pre spawn.
Sounds like fun!
Congrats. 👍🎣
Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Did I miss the size of the swim jig?
3/8
Nice job on your last tournament! Could please have core tackle design a new weighted wacky hook? They don't have a large enough gap to hook fish! I lost six of my seven fish in a tournament yesterday! If I would have landed five, I would have won first place.
weve been experimenting
Awesome! Thank you Matt!
Halfway there, keep it up
3 down 3 to go!
Make that $! Congrats, and here's to your future success, (heavy cover hover rig, hint, hint)

working on it! and you shouldnt break it if you use it
@@MattStefanFishing Thanks much! Bought factory direct and not worth sending back. Maybe a future project to strip and re-build.

@@MattStefanFishing Thank you Matt
Great job are you coming to the Potomac River this year
yep be there in June
You mentioned wind, what strategies do you employ when it's windy? As in whitecap windy.
good video suggestion!
Great tournament, awesome job!! Just noticed that Bigfoot has been covered in stickers. Is that new?
yep the boys made him a collage
Proud of you Matt. You've replaced Shaw Grigsby as my favorite touring pro.
No way! Shaw is number 1! Love that guy!
I'm old school, basically took a couple of decades off from fishing and have never even thrown flourocarbon line. Is Berkley 100% your general fluoro, or is it just for certain situations? I've been looking at all the choices and haven't decided on one to try yet.
its the only fluorocarbon i use
Is this the Alabama lake or the Oklahoma lake that you are talking about.
I think we are looking at the next KVD!!!
hahaha
I do live on Lake Eufaula Oklahoma
nice!
Good for you Matt I'm glad you season is going good for you, keep it going man rip them lips
Will do!
AOY BABY!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!
I got 1st Saturday me n my old man and big bass with a 4.39. For ohio that's decent lol
Congrats!
Loved it
Thanks!
This is probably a dumb question, Do you repaint your jig heads? Also well done in the tournament👍
generally not
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
👍
Thanks for watching!
Not to totally slam Randys recap vidieos. Well lets do it anyway so his recaps are like way to many livescopers way to many boats oh the co anglers suck god somebodys has to stop rich people from building houses. Well enough about that cant believe you guys are sponsored by the same company. Anyway good job out there hope to see you in LAX sometime when the river gets below 20 ft. congrats boss have a good weekend.
Thanks for the support!
With out some sort of game plan
Your guessing.
Money on the line you can't do that.
agreed
