  • Matt Robertson is one of the most polarizing pro anglers in professional fishing. He is a 4-time Bassmaster Classic Qualifier and a Bassmaster Open Champion. In a very short time he has built a legion of loyal fans. Known for his signature ON ‘EM hat, his cut-off shirts, fur coats and ferocious personality. Matt proudly represents Kentucky and the trailer park he calls home. His down home thinking and don’t-give-a-crap attitude has taken the fishing world by storm. Along the way he has ruffled some feathers but ultimately Matt just wants to catch fish and have a good time .

    One thing that wasn’t mentioned was the time that Matt takes to talk to his fans. It doesn’t matter if you see him at a gas station, or the elites, he’s humble and appreciative and takes time. He’s just a real guy like all of us. He’s great with kids and everything. Mad props to Matt from this fellow KY boy. We’re so proud to see him succeed. I live in the area so I have known of Matt for a long long time. It’s always interesting when he rolls into a tournament. The game gets elevated.

    Matt Robertson: I have no idea if you will see this but I am so glad I watched this episode of DM. You are your own man flying your own flag and as an American I respect you for doing what you feel is best for you! I honestly had not heard of you before this video but I will never forget how much of a stand up man you are and I am most definitely a Fan from this point forward. I hope all the viewers noticed you did not back down or pass on the hard questions DM was asking you. Good Luck moving forward and you do not need to be told, but: Have Fun!!!

    Great show as always Dave! We were right behind Matt in the weigh-in line last year at the Jet-A-Marina tournament on KY Lake. He didn't have a good bag that tournament but it didn't seem to bother him one bit. He seemed to just be happy to see a couple of fans. Carried a short conversation with us that ended with him expressing how appreciative he was of us being his fans. Definitely a real down to earth person.

    Love Matt. We fished a HS derby last spring out of Kutawa on Barkley and when we were loading up to leave, he was sitting in the parking lot, no boat, just pulled in checking conditions. I pulled up and he rolled the window down and started asking if we caught em; how big, etc like a normal dude. I think some pros get hung up on being everything to everybody it gets in the way. I 100% understand serving the sponsors, but I guarantee in those corporate offices work/life balance is a topic of discussion, but I bet it rarely bleeds over into the workhorses of their marketing strategy.

    Awesome, excellent podcast! I have thought he is a good dude from the beginning! He has made choices I wouldn't have but I have never been offended! Too many people are offended about every little thing. That's the one good thing about social media, he can be who he wants to be and with his social media following it forces the "corporate world sponsors" not able to "penalize" him as they would of before. I think it is good for the sport. All fisherman I know are more on the "unprofessional" lane not acting like they are pro golfers with all the etiquette.

    7:09 Hey Mercer! Great show as always! I don’t always get time for listening to the whole podcast but when I saw Matt was on it was time to make time! I think Matt is great for the sport! He shows a real side of the sport! Not the sponsor driven “professional athlete”, I think it gets worse every day how this sport gets infected with big money sponsorship and the snub your nose people! At the end of the day in this sport, win or lose, you are going to be sweaty and smell like fish! For the most part this sport is full of guys that work a full time job busting their ass for their families, but on the weekends they fish and they are damn good stick! That is what makes Matt great, he is someone that the average guy that adores this sport can relate too! I pull for Matt every damn tournament!! Keep it up Matt! And great stuff Dave as always!!

    I live near Flippin, AR on Bull Shoals. Dave, I must say, I would entertain having Zona, Matt, and you (at the same time) over to share cocktails and a lot of laughs. It would be a bucket list moment, as well, to fish and talk crap with Matt in my boat. After fishing red man back in the day and catching one of my biggest tournament bass while taking a leak off the front of my boat (without a camera), I was not shocked seeing Matt fishing in his whitey tighties. Thank god he was not going commando that day😂 Keep it real Dave and Matt continue being yourself! PS The invite is real dude
