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 seven MLF Championships and won over a half million in tournament winnings at the professional level.
Get a push pole and an electric chainsaw homie .. life savers
Now you gonna fish like me lol..
I know I enjoy fishing out of my tin rig more than my Skeeter. The trips are more like adventures. The jet opens up so much more opportunities. I was really surprised you didn’t have one already.
Sweet River boat. Just curious What did the pimped out rig cost.
Great idea it will grow the channel for sure! Wisconsin,Peshtigo,Flambeu,Monomonee,Black,St croix possibilitys is endless. Sleeper big bass spot ford river little bay de noc is worth the trip.
Cerebral Tackle sent me from the future
Hope you make a wealth of family memories in this boat. Sounds like an amazing time for you and the family.
Congratulations on your dream boat!!! I think you & the family will have a great time with on it. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
GREAT BOAT! lighter is better! 👌👊👍✌
Congratulations on the new rig! War Eagle makes a great boat. War Eagle and Sea Ark are both built near where I live. I've got a Power Pole micro on my 16' X 50" jon, I love it.
I aabsolutely love that rig!! Lots of shallow water lakes and inshore waters to the gulf here in Tallahassee. Love the size, simplicity, jack plate and your front deck and trolling motor. I just wonder if it would make a descent boat for the saltwater. Shallow lakes around here it would be a beast. Thanks and have fun!
Would that rig be effective running the Mississippi backwaters that have more mud/sand/ weeds based obstacles than rocks? Wondering how the jet will do with those…
Memories with the kids! Awesome purchase indeed. Is there room for boys and the Mrs? ; )
WooHoo 🥳 Mighty Matt👏👏👏💯 I first started fishing around 6 years old with my Dad on the Ohio River in Louisville Kentucky, and Dad had a 16’ “Flatboat” which was the term in 1956 and it had an Evinrude 35hp motor and oars and a sculling paddle. There were no trolling motors then, which is what the smaller sculling paddles were for. He taught me how to scull so quietly,while we went up into the creeks and smaller rivers and jigged big tree roots and grass edges. There’s no doubt you’re gonna have amazing days fishing up the secret honey holes, but these are going to be Hank & Dukes first real memories of their operating the boat on secret spots and they will tell their kids about it. Of course you definitely tricked this baby out like a Boss Champion that you are😎👊😜 congratulations 🎉to you and your family 🍀🎣🍀🎣🍀🎣🍀🎣🍀🎣🍀
Congratulations Keep it Going brother!
Wish you tight lines on this boat, Matt 🎣
I to always wanted a jet boat. Nice boat!
Man I knew it had to be a 10 boat but that's definitely not what I expected LOL I'm glad you finally got the boat you've always wanted. Nothing is set up pretty nice
sweet
You should have showed your real Trophy in the boat First,The future . The little guy.
Sweet tin! Love it!
Excited to see how well the jet motor allows you to sneak up into shallow waters. I’ve canoed into some of those rivers with live scope clamped to the gunwale. That is a real nice boat. Almost pulled the trigger on a similar Tracker with console earlier this last spring.
Can I fish the Merrill to Brokaw stretch with you? I'm definitely jealous of that rig for the skinny water!
waiting for the sand bar jumping uploads
The perfect Wisconsin River stump bumper right there! Awesome buy!
Sweet! I like the simplicity! Did you say "a new boat every year"?!?! We look forward to shallow river explorations. I'm new to all this and the first time I heard/saw a "jet" powered boat was with Ott DeFoe.
I was thinking that you got a new tournament boat but this is awesome!! Can't wait to see you out in it and catching a few smallies!! Congratulations on your win and getting a new boat!! Take the family out in this rig and have a good time!!
I can just see from your face and tone that you are pumped about your new boat. I'm sure you will enjoy the heck out of it! I'd say this has been a pretty good year for you.
Looking forward to seeing the videos of the hawgs you will catch with that setup, pretty dang cool
Awesome boat man! I have a 1648 with a 60/40 jet on it. Get that engine as high as you can or you’ll be replacing or welding the foot. Front grate pin should be even with the bottom of the boat when trimmed level. Jets are so much fun and I can’t wait to see the content you produce with this setup!
Matt, I have a Ranger Bass boat and in 2018, I acquired a 14’ tiller flat skiff Similar in size and set up. Now, I only choose the Ranger if I have multiple people going or if the weather is to be extreme. Smaller boats displace less water and in the end get more bites. Nice set up. I don’t have a live well but I use the large crappie basket for bass and walleye. Works better than a live well. I would advise on getting a push pole and perhaps an aftermarket grab so you can drive standing up. One of the largest safety factors for me when nightfishing. The added visibility of being able to stand up and drive is huge.
Congrats! I’ll be curious on how you store tackle and tackle selection. Maybe you could give a rundown on that also. Congratulations again on your win and moving to BPT.
Sweet I love my bass boat but my duck boat rocks
I'll be watching to see if you hit the Ahnapee or sections of the Bark
What wisconsin rivers are you thinking of hitting up? I live in the centeral wi area and im trying to get ideas for good smallie streams and rivers.
Pretty darn cool! Your Skeeter is my dream boat.
I see that it came with a little boat captain too.
Excellent. Great looking rig.
That boat is sick Matt 🤘
I assume this question doesn't get answered. But I'm from California, now living full time in Minnesota for the next 20 years raising my daughter. I don't have a jet boat, but I am a pretty adventurous dude. So would you mind sharing river systems and areas in Wisconsin that aren't super boat worthy bur might be epic while wading and hiking the shoreline. Potentially pointing out parts of the river…for example…this 5 mile stretch or 30 mile stretch or whatever 🤷♂️ has potential for some fun fishing. I hate asking this because it feels like I'm saying give me your spots…I'm just saying please share a river, an area(County maybe🤷♂️), or like a portion of said rivers. But heck, I'd just love to know some rivers you think are worthy for a full day of hiking and fishing and maybe even camping…I get it if you don't wanna share that info. 😉
Bring that thing up to Washington Island later this week. We will be there smallie fishing. We would love to to meet you and the family! Just saying. Congratulations again on the win. 🎣👍🏻
Badass rig!
Good for you Matt. Have fun!
I know your boys are stoked about, nice!👍
All you need now is a electric anchor winch up front.
Man, that's what I need. Just a little basic boat, I don't even need a jet drive. As a photographer myself, I extend my compliments to the camera-wife. Very nice job with the moving angles, like a pro!
