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 ten MLF Championships and won almost a million dollars in tournament winnings at the professional level.

RIM CANAL AND KISSIMMEE RIVER!!!!!
I hope ya do well. You're a good teacher and you're a straight shooter. You just fell a couple notches after your video discussing Randy B. on his chance at the hall of fame. Hope you win it all.
Florida cold snaps, a lot of talk how they are tough as can be.
Your just fishing Okeechobee the right way.
Your audio is REALLY GOOD in that wind. Good luck in the rodeo!
Where does your electronics show their st
Need s crankbait on a windy day
Good luck
I know you can do it . Give er hell
Have you tried your new rod billed out there yet?
How do you line up your guides on your fishing rods when building them?
Keep getting after it!!!
FREE ENTRY FEE for this event is starting to make more sense. We get what we pay for. It's not funny & I feel bad for all the anglers who weren't in on the super low water conditions. Big heavy winter weather storms coming to 20 states including dixie. I know shallow water is more dangerous for boaters. We need you back alive & healthy, good luck!
Bummer, that looks brutal. Dont let us down, your all we got up in the frozen north!!!
Glad that this tournament series is happening but following along is going to be a challenge until they get more info together! Cant find anything official on leaderboards or etc. Hope they figure it out within a few tournaments!
I was watching tick man today he live streamed his entire day on the water on the first day of the derby what was he thinking. Keep grinding 💪
I have an idea that might help you in places like that. Maybe you could use a drone for a better view of the trails thru the grass. You might eliminate some trails without going down them. I'm sure it's not allowed during the tournament but it ought to be okay for practice.
I'm definitely not a bass dude but I grew up in FL and if I wasn't catching them along the grass edges I would look for deeper water to try, and any culverts or spillways. Spillways are a big deal in South Florida but I don't know if there are any on the lake itself. Anywhere water is pouring in can be awesome. And look for moving water in general.
I can ask my dad if you can stop to fish his lake in Weirsdale if you want. He's caught several bass over 10 lbs there and weughed a 13 pounder. He has pictures of a bigger one he didn't weigh. It's private and only he fishes it regularly. He probably would be thrilled to let a pro fish there and give him tips. He mostly catches little ones on lures. The bug ones ate live bluegills, but I bet you could figure them out. He only uses 1 of 3 or 4 different lures and I think it's keeping him from hooking bug ones.
Rough conditions for Florida, hope you find something during the tournament!
Also seen you weigh in good luck tomorrow!!
Is there a place to see the leader board?
Hang in there. At least you're getting a chance to fish
Good luck
Good luck man Did make to Richmond last weekend. Bass SHOW.?
Saw you come across the stage..I think you had more than the Martins. What an underwhelming weigh in. Best of luck.
Keep Grinding Matt! You'll find 'em!
TRUST YOUR GUT . . . . . .Good luck !!!!
