My Profile:
www.mattstefanf...
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.
Watching the tournament and seeing you win was like my team winning the superbowl. I've watched your channel and learned so much. This summer I've caught more fish and caught pb bass, trout, and perch...and I'm not done yet. You have blessed your subs with knowledge and I truly believe God blessed you back. It was great to see a humble pro bass fisherman and family man win. Congrats again!!!
thanks!
I'm very proud to know that you are one of the best anglers I've had the pleasure of learning from. Congratulations on the win big guy, I'd love to see you do it again!
Agreed, he is one of the very best. Taught me a ton!!
thanks so much
You are easy to cheer for. You provide solid content with no BS. Your video about the correct way to tie a snell knot was invaluable for me. Won some money because of it. Give em hell on the BPT and at Redcrest.

Congratulations, Matt! You definitely put the hours in. Your a hammer!
I appreciate that!
Another great video Matt, I enjoy all the little details you add. Could listen to you talking bass all day. You have a knack for making it interesting and a genuine way to present your message. Thanks again.
thanks!
I enjoy you channel so much. Just down to earth conversation about fishing. Good fishing going forward 👍
I appreciate that!
So awesome to see you win this event.
thanks!
Matt again congrats and we that follow you appreciate the shout out!
Thanks!
Congrats on your first win! 🏆 I’m sure more will come. Bottom line focus is the biggest advantage you can have in those situations and you got it done. 👏👏👏👍🎣
Yes! Thank you!
Love your videos. So happy you won. All that hard work paying off. Looking forward to next year!!!
Thanks so much!!
Great video, I watched the entire thing. I live in TX so what applies to me is your discussion of what you did, where you were, what bait you were using, the time factor, etc. So I just analyzed what I did this morning... where I started, where was the sun, what lures I tried, where I went to next, etc. etc. etc. I became aware of arbitrary activities hours after they occurred. Eye opening, thanks to listening to your analysis of your tournament. Muchas gracias from Spicewood TX. 😀
Awesome!
Thank you for all you do, you and Randy Blaukhet are two men I look up to, and are trying to follow in yalls footsteps.
Much appreciated
Congratulations Matt !! AWESOME
thanks!
Congratulations Matt!!
thanks!
Congrats Matt!!! I am excited to watch you fishing in the BPT next season.
Can't wait!
Congratulations on the win and thanks so much for the detailed video explaining your practice, tournament and thought process! Very entertaining and helpful. I fish those pools once a year for a week in rhe fall, probably last 25 years. So its super interesting to see your video. In the last ten years I've fished near record high and low water levels over there. Always do well but its sometimes a struggle to figure out. Can't imagine the anxiety you had waiting to lock back. Best wishes in the future! I'm a follower of yours, the most humble, knowledgeable, fisherman and person I've come across!
it was stressful
Congratulations Matt. Thanks for all the tips you share.
My pleasure!
Congratulations Matt! Very cool to see the success.
Thanks!
Congratulations Matt I am so pleased for you. Really enjoy it when someone I can relate to does so well. Really enjoy the way you include your family in your triumphs and I am a fellow rod builder who really enjoys custom making my own rods for my own particular fishing situations.
Thanks so much!
Great job. Great advice. I have been watching most of your videos for the last year. Glad to see you get the win.
I appreciate that!
Matt you’ve taught me so much over the past couple months from watching your channel I’ve caught so many fish with your tips congrats on the win it was well deserved!
thanks!
Happy to support your channel. Learning a crazy amount on presentations and retrieves. It’s a great plus that you may be benefiting from your own insights back to us. Keep it rolling into next season!!!
Thanks!
Congratulations to team Stefan learning a lot from you and the videos you do, thanks alot, good luck in the future
Thank you very much!
What a great breakdown of your winning strategies, I really love all the thought that goes into finding the winning strategie and how agressive those fish are, Im sure this is going to be the first of many wins for you and proves to all of us just how good of an angler you really are!!! I have been with you from very close to the start of your you tube and have learned so much from you, you are one stand up guy!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Congrats on the big win! Well deserved!
Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the run down champ.
you bet
Well done man, I'm happy for you and your family!
I'm also glad to hear there's watwr in the Mississippi again. Not very long ago it was too dry for barges to navigate in some spots.
Thanks 👍
Congratulations again 👍 Hopefully you and the boys have some more tournaments to fish.
we do
Congrats Matt!! Keep it up!
will do!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your tactics and techniques.
thanks for watching
Congratulations on the win!
Thank you!
Once again awesome job and finish to a great season! Team win😂!
agreed!
Good recap Matt, making good choices!
thanks
Rest up and start doing your homework for Redcrest & BPT. I fought leukemia & stem cell transplant complications for last 4 yrs but God has decided it was not my time yet & will let me fish. I am cancer free and doing pretty good. Hopefully I'll be on the water for the Fall feeding spree and then start hitting tournaments next year like I used to. I have a ton of new tackle/rods/reels including all your Core tackle & can't wait to get out there. 32 rods all rigged up, Dakota lithium batteries in the Triton &ready to hit the water. Congrats again on your win & I know it feels good to be a Champion!
glad to hear you are doing better!
Nice job Matt.
thanks!
I've been slaying them myself on the Maxx Scent 5" Lil General in Baby Bass Wacky rigged as well. Congrats on the W Matt.
Nice!
I also have been smacking them on a wacky rig with a general, my last derby had 2 nd . Thanks Matt
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing, tight lines
You bet
Time flies, Redcrest is coming. BPT in final stage of '23. Congratulations Mr. Matt.
Hey Matt,
Great job and thanks for the breakdown.
You should come out to Lake Mojave for the US Open with the Bridgeford guys.
Gonna be a good one! October 16,17,18..@@MattStefanFishing
congratulations man
thanks!
Congrats my man!
Appreciate it!
Again congratulations and thanks for sharing your baits. What was the water condition Visibility wise?
it varied each day from really clear to silted
Congratulations! To quote Rodney Dangerfield in caddyshack "you're an ace, everybody knows it !"
haha
Congrats again and a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations!
thanks!
Woot woot! WTG Matt!
thanks!
Congrats bud!
thanks!
Matt, are the 3 main rod's you used in your signature series kit's available at mudhole, congratulations one more time. 👍
they are not. These were the MHX NSJ-872 and the MHX MB-843
Congratulations again.
So when do we get our Team Stefan Jersey's?
😅
haha
Wtg congratulations,so cool
Thanks
Congrats again Matt i am always thinking to myself why do so many fisherman make it so complicated with baits and set ups to throw them with.This is a prime example you won the tourney with a wacky rig and topwater simplicity at its best.Great job!!!!!!👏👍
thanks!
Good job my friend.
thanks
Matt is there a rod manufacturer that sells mhx rods with Winn grip’s similar to the ones you build? I don’t have any of the gear like you’ve shown in past videos necessary to make a custom rod (maybe someday).
mudhole could probably guide you towards a custom rod builder that will make you one of my rod kits.
@@MattStefanFishing Great thanks Matt
So fired up for ya buddy!! Congrats Matt! I just picked up a bunch of hover rigs. Side note. What knot do you tie with those? I've had a few break off at the hookset. Thanks!!
What is your leader knot?
Look forward to the Wednesday nighter!
i tie a miller knot
@MattStefanFishing thanks I just looked up the video. Matt, I can't thank you enough. You and Randy are the 2 biggest influences on me as a bass angler.
My pfp is on lake Onalaska lol, love that place my grandparents live down the road we go there every summer
awesome
Congrats on the win and thanks for sharing!
I personally dislike the wacky. It works and all, but it feels like a meme rig. Or maybe something a small child would whip up from his dad's tackle box. That being said, I will still throw that cheesy setup.
it works
Fish with enthusiasm even tough it my not be today,in joy all that evolves this first of many wins ,make room on the mantelpiece
thanks
I've heard before where anglers have 25 rods on their deck and only use 3 to win. That's how you know you found an effective pattern. As long as I've been following you, it seems fitting that it was a wacky rig that put you in the winner's circle.
i really narrowed it down
You should throw a party for those lock worker’s!
i might!
Congrats. I hope to be on pools 7, 8, 9 for the kayak tournament coming up August 19. You should enter. Actually, nevermind. 🤣
Deal!
Chain Rats rule! Congrats Matt!!!
THanks!
Very interesting ... thanks Matt. Now, go relax!
yep! ive got 6 months off
Sorry typo, on the BPT tour!!?
thanks
On Wisconsin
yep!
👍👍from Iowa
Thanks!
I was wacky riggin a McDonald’s French fri catching hella bass lol if there hungry they eat anything moving
That says alot about how non edible and processed smacky d's food is if the fry didn't dissolve and stayed on the hook lol. Then we put that crap in our bodies lol
awesome!
Killing me with this double "decker" barge, double lockage tow, double for short. Another thing to consider is have a marine radio you can talk to them on channel 13 the traffic channel, channel 14 bridge and lock channel, could talk directly to the boats to find out their plans and they can tell you who else is around, haven't seen an app worth a darn for commercial traffic
yeah tom monsoor told me about the marine radio
Matt what caused you to rule out pool 8 as an option
My one day of practice on pool 8 was terrible. It’s generally my favorite place to fish
Don’t make us 😭 in this one
😁
i wont haha
@@MattStefanFishing 😆
I love River fishing the best. But as you said all it takes is some rain and next thing you know a spot, Eddie, or Sandbar you used to have lots of success on no longer exists
lots of fun
🍺👍🤠.
thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍
thanks!
The river had me worried for you as I know it's been way down. Didn't know how it was going to fish. That's why I commented day one you might have to go unorthodox. But you gotter done.
yes i did
🙌👌👊💛
Thanks!
🍻
thanks!
? Do you carry your tablesaw with you on fishing trip, lol
no but i love my table saw!
💪🧐
thanks!
