leave it to you to catch a blind bass 3.14. what awesome luck and awesome come back. i would feel horrible too. that was a big ass catfish too. awesome come back as well. your freaking awesome bub.
🍺Very nice. You now have some time off before your next one.👍I hope you get a chance to do your homework. It’s crunch time but it’s also a very exciting time. I’d love to see about a 80 point cushion going into Lacrosse.🙏
I was going to come shake your hand and introduce myself, have been watching your videos for a couple of years, but I figured you had bigger things to worry about than shake hands with a fifty year old man. Wife and I have a place on main lake point between 40 and 41mm. I was glad to see your rebound from day two.
Congrats Matt, on another really good finish. Good audible, turns out that you actually found what appears to be more bed fish without all of the s*** show traffic you were seeing in the main lake where you were fishing the day before. It's always good when you make a decision like that to get rewarded for it. Takes guts, especially when there's money and points on the line. Kudos to you. The goals in sight, keep the pedal to the metal. Keep your head down and don't let up until the last tournament's done. Rooting for you to make the big tour.
Good finish!!!!! I love those boat ramps people have. I marked every one I could find in my electronics. So glad I watched this. I have been really working on my casts going into the water quietly after your video that talked about that. After seeing how you do it.... I have a LONG way to go LOL But, I know it will happen if I keep working on it. I can do it with an ultra light on a tiny mountain stream ... Great video!
🍺🤔Shad spawn likely over before anglers can take big advantage each morning. Some fry guarders. Slightly cooler and slightly stained water, 10” low, steady weather. Shallow bite, swim jig, and frog. You’ll need a few spotted bass each day. So I’ll take Welcher, Davis Jr, Gaston, Canterbury, Cox,Herron, Stracner. I think Austin Felix will rebound but my heart says Swindle.
Your a great angler Matt with a great outlook, really appreciate your tips and calm passion for the sport... much much better than the" other" bridgford angler that's too sensitive to what people think .. thanks for being more mature than "randy "
Yeah, those dang cigarettes need to go up on the Great Lakes and stay there! It doesn't seem to matter where I go, they follow. Good showing at the tournament. Congrats!
I learned a lot watching your wrist, reel and rod motion when using the jig and drop shot. Thanks for sharing your day and the insights. Best of luck for a great season!
That kinda fishing is so much better than bed fishing. Running around and chasing them is my kind of fishing. I always feel guilty harrassing fish on their beds. Strong work Matt!!!
I really liked watching you fish in a for real on the water situation. I think it would be great if you did an "On the Water" series showing different techniques.
Great decision making to punt and run new water. How do you get those google earth images on your lowrance? I’d love to have images of our western lakes when drawn down overlayed on my gps.
Lake of Oz is a $hit $how. I only have a yak and I won't go near there when it starts warming up. Even in the "small" bays they run around like maniacs. Awesome finish. Wish I could have seen a better pic of the 'zombie' bass. Also, wish I could have made it down to meet you.
What a strong finish and I love your gameplan for the finale day, I usually like to get up one of the rivers a little ways to stay away from all that traffic on the water, it can get really tough to get around on that lake… great job!!!
Good decision to get away from traffic and other fisherman. Yes gave up fishing time which is crucial however caught quality fish which you needed for a top 10. Nice job and congratulations again
So I see you were flipping with a LH reel which makes you extremely effective since you never have to change hands when casting. Is this a recent revelation and have you completely switched over to LH reels? I’ve always fished with LH baitcasters and can never understand why more don’t do it. When RH people fish with a spinning reel they always use a LH reel so why not the same on a bait caster. The few times I had to use a RH bait caster it was quite annoying
I think im addicted to your channel. Great tournament. Glad to see you doing so well! A win will come soon
nice!
@16:39 😂😂😂 that made me laugh out loud. GREAT JOB AGAIN !!
haha
I appreciate this is your lively hood and your sincere concern for the fish versus pressing for another upgrade. Tight lines to you good Sir
thanks!
Hey Matt glad you had a good day out there I live in Missouri. That's a busy lake but it has some nice bass in it too. God bless.

That was a good comeback after a dismal day two. But can never complain about to talk 10. You jumped quite a few places to get back

Nice Job Matt!! I knew you could get it done.

Great Videos Matt, Very epic move on day 3.
It was a fun day!
Congrats Matt! Great video of the 3rd day. Really enjoy your channel and best wishes to you on upcoming tournaments.
Thank you!

You should have said hello! I drove by our house on day 3!
Great move Matt !! Great finish 👏 👌 thanks for sharing 🎣
Thanks!
new favorite video from you Matt. Thanks for taking us along.

You can do it!

solid picks!
Man that's good stuff .I feel sorry for them blind ones too. A O Y
lets go!
Great Tournament again Matt!! I learn so much by watching you fish. Thanks and keep killing it!
Thanks!
Your a great angler Matt with a great outlook, really appreciate your tips and calm passion for the sport... much much better than the" other" bridgford angler that's too sensitive to what people think .. thanks for being more mature than "randy "
thanks for the support!
Congrats on a strong finish!
Thank you!
When you’re picking apart the docks with the jig, how do you know which docks and where to target?
they were holding on the shallow sides
Yeah, those dang cigarettes need to go up on the Great Lakes and stay there! It doesn't seem to matter where I go, they follow. Good showing at the tournament. Congrats!
agreed!
Good tournament, a great year so far keep it up . Congratulations on a great finish.
Thanks!
Patience and Perseverance always pays off. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
you bet!
I learned a lot watching your wrist, reel and rod motion when using the jig and drop shot. Thanks for sharing your day and the insights. Best of luck for a great season!

Good decision getting away from all of the camostion, good Vido.
It worked out!
That kinda fishing is so much better than bed fishing. Running around and chasing them is my kind of fishing. I always feel guilty harrassing fish on their beds. Strong work Matt!!!
Thanks!
I like your concern for fishes health. Not enough people have that. How much did Zombie Bass weigh?
3-11
I really liked watching you fish in a for real on the water situation. I think it would be great if you did an "On the Water" series showing different techniques.
i do a bunch of on the water videos. we just lost our ice a few weeks ago so havent done much this year yet
Great decision making to punt and run new water. How do you get those google earth images on your lowrance? I’d love to have images of our western lakes when drawn down overlayed on my gps.
its a big long process. maybe ill do a video on it
Lol, you really gotta insult that poor bass man? Nice work 👍🏻
Btw, I enjoy videos like this one
haha
Congrats Matt, I love your show and wish you the best. One Wisconsinite to another! rooting for ya:)
Appreciate it!
What a come back on day 3, Great job! Strong decision to move away from the other boats.
thanks!
Lake of Oz is a $hit $how. I only have a yak and I won't go near there when it starts warming up. Even in the "small" bays they run around like maniacs. Awesome finish. Wish I could have seen a better pic of the 'zombie' bass. Also, wish I could have made it down to meet you.
thanks!
Catching that zombie fish was an omen.
is that a good or bad omen?
@@MattStefanFishing Haa to be good. You managed to coax a blind fish into biting
So I guess that fish was ugly, eh? What a great finish! 10th place! On to the next lake!
nothing wrong with an ugly bass
Congrats well done Sir and that's a big f@$$# Catfish. LOL.
haha
What a strong finish and I love your gameplan for the finale day, I usually like to get up one of the rivers a little ways to stay away from all that traffic on the water, it can get really tough to get around on that lake… great job!!!
there was a lot less traffic
👍👍👍👍👍
thanks for watching!
So did the zombie survive
yep it was in great shape. looked better in my livewell then it did when i caught it
Good decision to get away from traffic and other fisherman. Yes gave up fishing time which is crucial however caught quality fish which you needed for a top 10. Nice job and congratulations again
it went well!
Very nice job Matt-Hope you win enough this year to be able to afford a pair of shoes to use in the boat! Just kidding
haha
I'm copying your pitching technique .That's complement.Feel it in fore arm.Apreciate.
Thanks!
Congratulations Matt. You did make the top 10. Way to go Matt. It was with an ugly fish, but you made it to the prom with an ugly girl 😁😂😂👍👍
nothing wrong with ugly girls!
@@MattStefanFishing 😁😂😂
Awesome video! You do the best tournament fishing videos of any professional Angler!
awesome!
That was a damn ugly bass tho, for sure lol
Great content, thanks for sharing!
haha!
Stop teasing these other anglers and dominate Matt.
I like that plan!

ive been using left and right handed baitcast reels for 25 years.
The type of rock you catch them on means everything at LOZ…it’s the best pattern lake in America
LOZ is a great pattern lake!
