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.

@zevoutdoors7194 8 месяцев назад

Good memories! My dad used to have one of the old extended crappie poles rigged up with heavy line and "hook" on the end in the boat at all times. We used it to retrieve lures from trees while fishing. We had to have recovered thousands of lures, bobbers, hooks and line over the years. I think he still has 4 or 5 old fish baskets hanging in his basement packed with all the treasures. Also a good way to get some of that stuff out of the environment, especially the line people leave when breaking off!

@insertname941 8 месяцев назад

Im an amateur what is an extended crappie pole.

@zevoutdoors7194 8 месяцев назад

@@insertname941 it was a telescoping fiberglass fishing pole that was used similar to a cane pole. I’m not sure they were designed specifically for crappie fishing?? That is what we originally used it for though. I’d say it telescoped out to around 10’.

That’ll get you snake bit here in Texas. I have a huge rock pile spillway on my pond that I dug up with my backhoe when I planted my pecan orchard. Every winter the copperheads get in it for warmth and a rat and mice buffet. I’ve seen the biggest copperheads I’ve ever seen in my life in there. I guess it’s safe in your area.

@MattStefanFishing 9 месяцев назад

no copperheads in my area.

@insertname941 8 месяцев назад

The only snakes we have here that are dangerous are timber rattlers and massasauga rattlers and you rarely see them. In fact in the last 12 yrs weve never gotten any recorded bites, i know the 1 guy who got bit 12 yrs ago and he installs pools so u can imagine what kinda shit hes doing to piss off the danger noodles

@cmchatton1680 9 месяцев назад

Matt, Love seeing you and the boys hanging out, picking lures! Those boys will be doing this some day with their kids! When the boys get older, I used to snorkle and find lures here in California. You guys may need wet suits there but it is a lot of fun too! Beautiful family Matt! John McHatton

@terrytresemer2864 9 месяцев назад

Yeah this is some stupid weather, ain't it!?! The week before Christmas it warmed into the upper 40's with rain, melted everything. Now it struggles to get to a high of 36. I guess it could be worse, I've had years where the pack ice was above the curb. My off seasons I'd walk the banks doing just what the boys and you are doing. I've made keychain fabs and such with some of them, some you can clean-up and return to service. Even weights & jigs can be melted down and poured for spinner baits. Cleaning up the environment and tinkering with some utilitarian stuff. Driftwood even! My work bench drawers pull handles are old junkyard wrenches out in the garage.

@texasoutdoors9906 9 месяцев назад

You can never have to many of those Square A's. I remember when they first hit the market before the square bills really took off and became what they are today. I was fishing a creek channel full of stumps with really off colored water so I tied on a Square A in Fire Tiger. I had never caught a double digit in my life but caught 2 in less than 2 hours to anchor a 34 pound limit. I still have that same bait and wrote the date on the bottom of it and retired it.

The essence of shore fishing. Sometimes I go sinker hunting. In every sport fishing, this is fun and exciting. I was fishing a rock face. They had released the water drastically. I saw a white plastic lure with a Jalin's jighead. I said, "This must be the secret." It was winterizing and it was difficult on that pressured rock face. I go to use it. Started catching bass and a big pike minnow right off the bat. The secret really do find you at the highest level. Also on that rock face I saw a bunch of crappie jigs, but these elites are not targeting crappies so the secrets just kept feeding my elitest skills. They was hovering before hover became a thing and I knew that without having fished it vigor.
