I live in Birmingham and I’ve attended both Redcrest and the Classic in 2020. The classic was fished in Guntersville and it was like a 2 hour drive. Both expos were similar but the weigh in is the biggest separation. Maybe Redcrest should have a final day drive through and play a highlight from each day and do an interview. I brought my 7 year old son and he got a few autographs, you were busy and we never got an opportunity to ask you to sign his hat. We both love to fish and he gets to watch your videos when I watch. Love the channel!
I guarantee that most of your subscribers love Sarah always a treat, the championship day they could not advertise all the anglers weights, but would continue to catch,weigh & release for each angler, & have a big weigh in type event, great video!🎣👍
The classic will be held in Ft Worth, the weather should be great. You don’t have to worry about the heat. Maybe Redcrest can show anglers fishing and catching and there will be no score tracker given to the angler or the person weighing the fish. This would make an interesting final day. The anglers will not know how the other competitors are doing, so there will be excitement for the winning angler.
I was thinking the same thing. Last day no score tracker have the anglers show up on stage announce there weight and show some video of there biggest catches.
Good to see you2 on here. Thanks for your tips. I caught my 1st chatterbait bass today and a jig headed wacky rig bass also. 3½lb smallmouth on the chatterbait and a 2lb on the wacky
I have never been to either. I have not had the opportunity. I did go to the MLF event couple years ago at Lake of Ozarks and really enjoyed championship day. I would go again in a heart beat. The anglers were all so nice and so accommodating for autographs pictures etc. Thank you for interesting views of both events.
Matt, Sara, I’ve slept 2 nights on the “Grounding Well” sheet. I figured for $99 maybe it would help with my inflammation. I’m 61 and have a few injuries in my spine. Sometimes the section of spine between my shoulder blades feels 4” around. Definitely feel better in that area but the jury is still out . Good luck this year. You, Randy and Jonny put out some good stuff that helps us regular guys. God bless!
I honestly wish they would keep the weights secret especially on the last day from the viewers as well, maybe even not show a key catch or something to keep the suspense factor up especially if it’s close, it would be almost like being in the arena 🤷🏼 As for having your wife on the channel, I’m in favor of it because she brings a fresh perspective that covers both our viewpoints as an audience as well as a different part inside the circuits you participate in, I enjoy listening to her thoughts on the topics you have, Thanx for having her on and Thanx Sarah for being on.
I went to the CLASSIC longer ago than i like to think about...1986..it was a blast ray Scott did the weigh in and chuck yeager was there...id love to catch another one..thanks for your fair take on it...and Sarah is the best..
Love your open mind still in shock this was your first classic. Im headed to fish with a friend tomorrow fishing nothing but boat docks all day in honor of JW
🍺 Thanks Matt. I always enjoy seeing you interact with your better half. 🤠The classic would be a lifelong memory with your boys who would thoroughly enjoy it and want to go every year but not so much for Sara. 🤔I think she would definitely go because she knows the boys would love it.🤷♂️
I don’t know why, but there’s something fun about watching two people who love each other bicker in public 😆 If you stayed til the end of the video you know what I’m talking about. Hope you guys decide to come to the classic next year. I’ll be there for sure since it’s in my backyard
In my opinion it's much better for the fish to be released back where they live and not disturbed. I think all tournaments should be ran this way, especially around the spawn. Bringing those fish to a stadium and displacing them (many will die) is a travesty to the lake and future angling opportunities. Good work MLF! JMO
A decent enough place to stay in Dallas is the Great Wolf Lodge. The rooms are nothing to brag about but for the kids and the stuff around makes up for it. Look it up if you haven’t heard of it, it’ll definitely keep the kids busy. Book well in advance. This was my first classic and had a blast, though I wish there was more stuff happening outside between the expo and the BOK Center. The parking was stupid too but that’s just Tulsa, Friday at the expo we paid $10 to park and when we left the sign said $40. The remainder of the days I used Uber.
Glad you listen to your fans Matt, Sara is always a highlight to your videos. As I told you when we talked at Redcrest Expo,I would love to see you in BASS. I understand you have made the top self at MLF, but just think of you standing on stage at the Classic? You are good enough to fish the Elites, you just need that 1 year doing the Open series. A question here, did you get a chance to stop in at Mark’s Outdoors heading back to Lay Lake?
I’ve been a BASS member since 1972 and joined a BASS Club in 1976. Don Caggiano a member of the club I was in qualified for the Classic in 1984&85. I qualified for my first in 1991. The Classic is the Super Bowl of Bass fishing because of the History.
I only went to the weigh-in on the final day at the classic last year. there was enough big screens at the expo i could follow along on the first 2 days. plus the expo crowds decreased making it easier to check out the venders.
Sara is awesome! It appears you married up.😊 All kidding aside this was a very enjoyable video. Wives do so much for the family. They deserve major support and recognition always. How about taking her any where she wants to go and focus full attention on her. Just a few days, but what a gift to her. Hopefully you have someone who you trust with the kids. I’ve been married 50+ years. I should have done this more often myself. Stay safe. God Bless!
Matt, you should pull some strings and help push for the top 20 Bass Pro Tour guys VS the top 20 Elite pros for a SUPER BOWL of bass fishing EPIC tournament finale to end the year. I feel like the WORLD needs to see this once a year.
Maybe they could use the score tracker on the last day for only 2 hours or so. After that you would get no more updates. Then they could get everyone together like a weigh in and reveal their final total one by one down to a big finish. That way nobody would know how they ended up!!
Big fan. The best MLF ever was last year at the Mississippi. I’ve been to the classic only for the expo. I could care less about watching anyone weighing in fish unless it’s at my local lakes. They are boring. I’m just there for the deals
I just want two thank yall for making a 1/4 and a 3/8 oz Ozark i just went on coretakle pag and oder some the Ozark are my favorite hooks i have every size now just waiting two get my hands one the red one's love the Ozark and the tush hooks i tell everyone two try them
The Bassmaster classic is the mecca. There is nothing close in bass fishing redcrest is trash compared to classic. It just keeps getting bigger every year. Attendance is crazy. The weigh in is a huge key we'll and it's 5 fish man that is how we all grew up. Your hardcore anglers will always be with bass. Mlf gets just fisherman that like to watch fish catches. I do not watch for fish catches I watch to see how anglers approach certain situations, conditions and the adjustments they make in the situations. Kinda like to see how they do things compared to us weekend guys. Honestly it's really pretty similar. Great job with the videos man. Keep them coming.
The weigh in is great and I understand why anglers want to be in front of thousands of people and show off their fish.But anglers are forgetting the most important thing the bass.so hats off to MLF for doing the right thing and MLF anglers who compete in this league.
There really is no difference. Elites have a 99.9% release alive rate to. You do realize that I guarantee some of the tongue hooked fish and fish caught in 50 foot of water by mlf anglers even though they are released right away do not make it right? That conservation sales thing was just to grab more people to watch. It just a sales deal. All bass fisherman protect the resources and always have. This is nothing new lol
The next classic will be announced before then and you can decide which one. Sooner than later for the boys age wise maybe. But maybe sooner than later wife wise. Haha Loved the see them without their hats comment.
Outside of FFS fishing making bad entertainment I think MLF AND BASS should take a page from each other. Ie. For the days leading up to the final day it should be MLF style, catch/measure/weigh/release at the boat. Final day should be ALL the pomp and circumstance of a grand weigh-in like BASSMASTER does. Happy medium for both the fans and fisheries
I just ordered a grounding bedsheet today prior to watching this video. Ive been having trouble sleeping after 3 AM and i thought i would give grounding a try. I would go outside and walk around with my barefeet but its usually raining and the grounding sheet sounds easier. I think Redcrest needs to change the name. WTH were they thinking when naming it that? Name it something that people would recognize as a championship tournament.
The only way to fix it is to suspend the Scoretracker at Noon each day and have a live reveal - weigh -in and add the suspense. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be better that way.
Need to film your boys getting Rick Clunn and Bill Dances signatures and pictures with. Great to see Sarah, let her go to the Dallas malls, she wont forget that.
Matt, I think the weigh-ins are the complete issue. You do a weigh-in, and MLF would be a whole different ballgame, but boyd has already promoted fish care fish care, and he would have to suck up his pride amd change it back and he won't do that.
They need to start selling the anglers jerseys! Like mlb and nfl** You can get your players Jersey < Even if they change a little each year < Cuz of sponcers! But Bass and Mlf need to get on that ! It's a $$ maker ! 😮😮
Fact is the classic is the super bowl of fishing the redcrest is the canadian league not downing the anglers in MLF cause most can compete in bass but classic is the chicken that laid the egg
Matt, I am a nobody. I am the kid that climbs the tree to see. You and your wife are inside the ropes. Your famous and your wife gets too come along. Me and my brothers couldn’t even dream of getting to go inside let alone sitting with my heroes eating next to them. Poor people like us can’t afford too dream, God did not bless us. It is okay we still love fishing. 😂😂😂
From an exhibitor perspective, Redcrest was better because it was two floors and wide open.people seemed ready to buy at Redcrest as well . Bassmaster classic had different rooms, and most people never made it to all 4 rooms. Bassmaster did a bad job at directing people to the rooms / floors .
i love them both. But 100% honest. Nothing compares to Classic. Not even close. The majority will never know Redcrest. But you mention the Bassmasters Classic and even most non fishing people will have heard of it or know what it is. Jacob, Dustin, etc can win as many Redcrest as they want, but will never be considered one of the greats until they have a Classic under their belt. Again, nothing against BPT. I love watching them both. But it is what it is.
Live coverage is killing pro fishing. 15 years ago the classic had coverage two weeks after the live event. And it was condensed from 3 days into an exciting 1 hour show. Now people want instant knowledge. Nobody’s waiting two weeks anymore. 8 hours of live is freaking boring.
1st of all, since they came out with the name Redcrest. Possibly the worst marketing name in Bass fishing. and without weigh ins and suspense there is no anticipation or build up. The Classic is iconic and they chose a no nothing name that no one cares about. there is no drama when a guy is leading by 20 pounds. Not sure how they get around this with the format they have. It is no different than any other BPT tournament.
Mlf is a pipsqueak compared to bassmaster. Also I never found out how the redcrest winner had 9 more fish and 30 more pounds over second place… how does that even happen
@@swrsak I just found it very weird that only one guy had a limit every day. I thought there was some weird rules with MLF, but I guess DC simply just caught more limits. It was my first time watching a mlf tourney
There's no fanfare because nobody wants to watch fisherman play video games on the front of their boat. Get rid of FFS from major tournments and the fans will come back...or continue living in denial until all the sponsors realize nobody is watching.
@@spintowinstradic6067 I was at the classic and it was packed I seen so many people at the expo wearing scoper hats and shirts it was so cool everyone getting tired of people on the FFS
A well grounded … couple indeed. Thanks for joining Sara! Always a fun video watching you two recap events.
Our pleasure!

Matt, Sara, I’ve slept 2 nights on the “Grounding Well” sheet. I figured for $99 maybe it would help with my inflammation. I’m 61 and have a few injuries in my spine. Sometimes the section of spine between my shoulder blades feels 4” around. Definitely feel better in that area but the jury is still out . Good luck this year. You, Randy and Jonny put out some good stuff that helps us regular guys. God bless!
Keep us updated!
Sarah it's great seeing you again, Matt you better get grounded. 👍
hahaha
Watching you and Sarah interact is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up guys 😁👍💯
Thank you 🙌
I honestly wish they would keep the weights secret especially on the last day from the viewers as well, maybe even not show a key catch or something to keep the suspense factor up especially if it’s close, it would be almost like being in the arena 🤷🏼

Great video - it’s very interesting to get Sara’s perspective. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You two kids just make me smile! I think you made your best catch right there Johnny Bravo! AND, she was the belle of the ball!

Yes, I enjoy Sarah. Haven been to three classics and a Redcrest, the excitement at the classic is three times the Redcrest.
agreed
I like it. Dallas would be perfect weather if it’s not raining. 50 at night and 70 during the day
Yep

Thanks for watching
ENJOY. THE VIDEO,THANKS FOR INFORMATION.
You're welcome
Lol!!!! Love it! Thanks Sara!
Any time!
Come to Dallas! It's 70 degrees today! Matter of fact, y'all should move on down to North Texas! Fish all year around 👍🏼

Probably two weeks we need to add some upc stickers to them still and waiting on them

I think Sara deserves a monthly appearance. Fun to watch.
We will see haha
Hey Matt that's because we love you and Sarah you guys are awesome. Hey Matt have a healthy and happy marriage bud .
Thanks!
Very nice
Thanks
Weigh-ins are more exciting. But the catch, weigh and release is so much better for the fish/fisheries. Especially during the spawn.
Agreed
Sara seems super cool!
She is
The only way to fix it is to suspend the Scoretracker at Noon each day and have a live reveal - weigh -in and add the suspense. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be better that way.
could work
Enjoyed
thanks!
1.5 hours. We got up at 0200 to drive to grand for weigh in
long drive
I watched FLW just as much as bassmaster, and that got screwed up, of course, with boyd behind the wheel on that one, too
thanks for watching!
When mlf first came out it was cool ! It was different * But Kinda got old & no weigh in ! I just think BASS dose such a better job
thanks for sharing!
The Bassmasters Classic is THE deal. Very difficult to duplicate that. Don't think Red Crest ever will. I didn't even tune in to Red Crest...
yep
@@MattStefanFishing however, I would have if you'd have made the final round.😅
Need to film your boys getting Rick Clunn and Bill Dances signatures and pictures with. Great to see Sarah, let her go to the Dallas malls, she wont forget that.
That sounds like a good plan
Got to meet Kevin vandamm at redcrest but not many vendors there went last years classis was packed with vendors not even close the same
Awesome
BASS did better with the weigh in this year. I love bass fishing, but weigh ins can be terribly boring. They pushed them through this year.
They are long
I personally love to see red crest on final day go 5 fish
That would be a cool twist
The last day of redcrestthe anglers shouldn't be told where they are until they get back to the expo or where ever they are weighing in
Would add a twist
Matt, I think the weigh-ins are the complete issue. You do a weigh-in, and MLF would be a whole different ballgame, but boyd has already promoted fish care fish care, and he would have to suck up his pride amd change it back and he won't do that.
could be the issue
They need to start selling the anglers jerseys! Like mlb and nfl** You can get your players Jersey < Even if they change a little each year < Cuz of sponcers! But Bass and Mlf need to get on that ! It's a $$ maker ! 😮😮
that would be cool!
😅great video
Thanks 😅
Just make the jump and go after the elites..
Maybe one day
Matt Sara is easier on the eye balls. U done good.
hahahaha i did!
Lol, go walking in the yard barefooted its free grounding. 😂
Haha
Sara is ok but we come here for our Matt Stephen advice and knowledge.
Haha
@@MattStefanFishingha...I come to see the doc and think about s neck crack.
Matt, try a shoe with a large toe box and you won't want to go back. Modern shoes are not shaped like feet.
That’s what Sara said
Do the shoes come with a red nose? Ha!
Haha
She's great no winning with her LOL!

Redcrast was Dead I was there Saturday
Crowd wasn’t bad on Saturday around where i was
@@MattStefanFishing True. There wasn't much excitement about the Tournament Itself
There’s too much coverage. It’s not FFS. Why watch a weigh in when I already know who won.
It’s still exciting
i love them both. But 100% honest. Nothing compares to Classic. Not even close. The majority will never know Redcrest. But you mention the Bassmasters Classic and even most non fishing people will have heard of it or know what it is. Jacob, Dustin, etc can win as many Redcrest as they want, but will never be considered one of the greats until they have a Classic under their belt. Again, nothing against BPT.

Live coverage is killing pro fishing. 15 years ago the classic had coverage two weeks after the live event. And it was condensed from 3 days into an exciting 1 hour show. Now people want instant knowledge. Nobody’s waiting two weeks anymore. 8 hours of live is freaking boring.
Imagine watching someone fish for 8 hours and only get 1 bite an hour. This is where FFS does add to the quality of the product.
thanks for sharing
Writing on the wall, I feel mlf be out of business in next couple of years.
we will see
Redcrest just cant compete with the Bassmaster Classic.
Not at the moment
1st of all, since they came out with the name Redcrest. Possibly the worst marketing name in Bass fishing. and without weigh ins and suspense there is no anticipation or build up. The Classic is iconic and they chose a no nothing name that no one cares about. there is no drama when a guy is leading by 20 pounds. Not sure how they get around this with the format they have. It is no different than any other BPT tournament.
Agreed
With out Sara there’s no Matt Stephen lol
Agreed
Mlf is a pipsqueak compared to bassmaster.
Also I never found out how the redcrest winner had 9 more fish and 30 more pounds over second place… how does that even happen
He jacked them that’s how
DC smashed em
math, they caught less and smaller fish. He caught more with more larger fish. It's not rocket science.
@@swrsak I just found it very weird that only one guy had a limit every day. I thought there was some weird rules with MLF, but I guess DC simply just caught more limits. It was my first time watching a mlf tourney
There's no fanfare because nobody wants to watch fisherman play video games on the front of their boat. Get rid of FFS from major tournments and the fans will come back...or continue living in denial until all the sponsors realize nobody is watching.
Could be
Who cares how they catch fish. If I watch 8 hours of fishing 7.5 hours is boring as hell I don’t care how they are fishing!
My gosh guys these comments are so freaking old about FFS
That makes no sense - the fan turnout for the Elite tournaments on Toledo Bend and Fork, to say nothing of the Classic, easily prove you wrong.
@@spintowinstradic6067 I was at the classic and it was packed I seen so many people at the expo wearing scoper hats and shirts it was so cool everyone getting tired of people on the FFS
Catch and release only. 70% of those kept and weighed fish die. Any five fish is BORING. Every fish counts, weigh or measure and release is the best.
70% ? show me the scientific research behind that number because if that were true there would be no bass left in most tournament lakes.
Nobody watches or cares anymore
why are you watching then....
