Behind the Angler
Matt grew up with a fishing pole in his hand. If there was water nearby, he was fishing it. He purchased his first boat in high school and then went from bank to boat and never looked back. He chased the seasons – sturgeon, stripers, salmon, steelhead and always bass. Bass fishing eventually took over for him. He started competitively bass fishing in team tournaments, moved to a co-angler, and then began fishing as a pro. Matt anticipates that fishing will be a sport that he and his family will enjoy the rest of their lives.APEX 4 top tens, Apex 7th in AOY points, WBS Qualifier, APEX Qualifier, MLF top tens, Team tournament wins, Future Pro Tour Hall of Fame, Major League Fishing Forrest Wood Cup World Championship top-10, CBF State Team Qualifier, Wild West Pro/Am Big Fish Award, 11.82 California Delta personal best, 11.3 Lake Englebright lake record largemouth
In the Boat
Matt considers himself a finesse fisherman that has evolved into a power fisherman. If there is a ChatterBait bite, he says he will find it. His motto is in clear or muddy water, the ChatterBait is money, so they are always onboard. He also likes to throw square-billed crankbaits when the conditions are right. If he is thinking finesse, he opts for Yamamoto Senkos and Roboworms. He is equipped with Lowrance Electronics and prefers to lean on them for offshore strategies.
