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.

Did you tell us this because of Randy’s “The 70s was better for bass fishing and music” video? If yes, I approve.

[@MattStefanFishing]

hahahahaha!

[@woefman9467]

LOL

[@adwhite804]

Classic response

[@denniskiblerbassguy]

Really enjoyed the video I think I will give it a try. Thanks

[@MattStefanFishing]

go for it!

[@russellmann3407]

Awesome, Thanks for the tip. learned something new everytime I watch your videos. Again Thanks and God Bless !!!!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

Glad to hear it!

[@neilgwinn7378]

Pretty cool. Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

You bet!

[@doughboy9076]

Like bringing bait to a light. That should work great Matt, will definitely give that a try .

[@MattStefanFishing]

give it a try!

[@johnlantz7278]

Thanks for this line on glow bait tips with a tube worm I’m always casting away my favorite interior rattles I don’t like glue unless it has time enough to chem off .so many baits with little time for experimentation this advice cements a base line to repeat successes on the water just for fun 🤩

[@MattStefanFishing]

Right on

Thank you for the video.

Cool tip, thanx

[@SpookyRedz]

Thanks for this , I make a lot of plastics I will pour around em , great tip bro I’m definitely doing this one

[@MattStefanFishing]

give it a try! only issue i see is being able to bend the glow stick to make it glow without breaking the plastic

[@midwestfischerman]

Hey Matt, I love to use all sorts of glowing lures, but I never need to fuss with glow sticks. I'm sure as a fellow midwestern angler you've seen the walleye fishermen, salmon and steelhead anglers, and especially ice fishermen all use glowing lures. Just about all of these glowing jigs, soft plastic grubs, spoons, and crankbaits all charge their glowing up with sunlight or flashlights. Northland, Mister Twister, and even Berkley Powerbait offer exceptional glowing soft plastic baits and jigs, mostly in that white color/green glow hue of plastic. Also, most salmon spoons cast from shore by anglers for salmon this time of year are coated with glowing paint. So, yes on glowing baits and lures, for sure.

[@MattStefanFishing]

lots of good glowing baits, but i like how the glow sticks seem to emit more light IMO

[@SpookyRedz]

I love glow , when u make a glow bait it’s actually a powder but now I’m going to make some with this , I’m already putting rattles in my baits , and that keeps the rattle inside the bait without making a hole and them falling out

[@MattStefanFishing]

very cool!

[@shannonkirby9295]

Good one, Matt. Beautiful

[@MattStefanFishing]

thanks!

[@texoma_outdoors]

I bought a few packs of the creme tube worms last time I was at bass pro. They made me nostalgic for the Knight tube worm years ago with my dad and grandparents.

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Sounds interesting!!! You may have to design a bait for the glow stick. Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@MattStefanFishing]

That's a great idea I can't wait to try it out thank you for sharing this with us much appreciated!

[@MattStefanFishing]

You are so welcome!

[@LowBrowFishing]

Like Marling Baits put an LED in a crankbait. I was tinkering with something similar. I'm thinking a glow in the dark type thing because that doesn't require batteries or anything and it's essentially getting recharged every time you bring it up. But the glow stick might actually be better.

[@MattStefanFishing]

give it a try it works great!

[@matzdavid1]

What about poking one of them sticks in a chatterbait trailer Matt? I bet the Pike would react. Thanks for another neat tip.

[@MattStefanFishing]

That would be cool!

[@alandavis2051]

I tried this years ago with the glow sticks meant for tipping your floats while river fishing. I didn’t see a noticeable difference in fish catches but I probably didn’t give it a fair chance to produce.

[@MattStefanFishing]

interesting!

[@dennisnieradka6668]

Dear Sir Great tip, having a problem. Bought some sented general . The package was unable to open it.Had to tear it open now in a baggie . No other way to open it. I know lock in the scent, but wow. Was trying to be gentle. Love the tips . One day I hope to meet you in Florida.

[@MattStefanFishing]

sorry to hear that.

[@grandwonder5858]

I have several glow lures that I bought from Aliexpress that work very well at night because of the glow aspect of the lures. Best of all those lures only cost me between $1.75 - $3 a piece! The lures I have do not use glow sticks, but instead they are made of glowing plastic materials.

[@MattStefanFishing]

very cool!

[@billdee8243]

You don’t want to sell glow sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life. 😅 star wars

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺. Caught a bunch of ravers and a cluber today.

[@MattStefanFishing]

haha!

[@cjn8730]

I fish at nite Apr-Oct and use a 25-foot green LED submersible light. Then drop shot and buzz DD crankbaits past the light. Amazing results, including double digits.

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@kyleoden3015]

I'm a sucker for gimmicks so I'll have to try it. Out in my area theres hypervis tape that is gimmicky but the salmon and steelhead seem to key in on it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

i thought it was gimmicky too...now im thinking it has a lot of potential.

[@johnrayner5599]

What a neat concept, I would have never thought of doing this but I am very interested now, one question… is this only a Saturday Night Fever kind of bait???

[@MattStefanFishing]

hahah! Only works on fridays and saturday haha

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanks Matt. If you take two green pumpkin grubs, dip one tail In chartreuse dye which grub are bluegill going to hit. This seems kinda infomercial to me. Sorry Matt, but I could be wrong and I sure do love new lures.

[@MattStefanFishing]

all i can say is give it a try

[@joewinkler2168]

Back in the day I used the same thing in the Mann's Scatter Shad in the Diamond color. That bait alone was so farr ahead of its time, unbelievable. And then they discontinued it.

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@mmancino1982]

Hmm. I have a mold for a pretty fat senko. Maybe I'll see if this is possible. Not sure if the casing would melt in that kind of heat though. The plastic works best poured at about 360 degrees

[@MattStefanFishing]

go for it!

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

That's one unorthodox technique indeed!! Night fishing for walleye, throw one of those glowing pods in a tube... Hehehe..! 🤘🎣

[@MattStefanFishing]

walters would love it!

[@brucenichols9206]

Matt you should add an Amazon affiliate link .. And Creme is probably going to wonder where the extra site traffic came from

[@MattStefanFishing]

mot a bad idea

[@midwestfischerman]

Matt, have you done a video on crossover tactics from other species that ALAO SLAY for bass? This glowing bait video has me thinking of all the midwestern walleye and salmon guys that use glowing lures and baits ALL of the time. A few other examples, I still consider the "dropshot" just a "perch rig" and the Whopper Plopper will always look like a pike plug to me.

[@MattStefanFishing]

very good topic. so much are just croosovers. Maybe it would make for a good series!

[@midwestfischerman]

@@MattStefanFishing That would be so cool, I hope you do it! I'll keep my eyes peeled for that.🤞🏻 That may be a good video series for our long cold winter during the deep freeze. I guess you can't do your retrieve series through the ice!🥶🤣

[@ipaulosan]

Thanks this looks so cool I gotta try it. So where can I buy the glow sticks and what the correct size for the Creme Lures tube worms? Also are the Arsenal Fishing Viper Glass Rattlers the correct rattles and what size please. Thanks for any info.

[@stevekeen7035]

Matt, I know as a professional tournament fisherman, you dont get to bass fish much at night compared to local bass clubs that usually have 2 or 3 night tournaments a year on their tournament schedule. Therefore, you might not have gotten to try it yet but Im interested to know if you have had the chance to try them at night and if not, what is your opinion of their effectiveness after dark?

[@MattStefanFishing]

I have used them at night once and i caught fish on them but i was more entertained by being able to watch my bait the whole time. But i rarely night fish. i dont like spiders and bugs in the dark

[@larikmezey3924]

Bass tend to stay away from glowing baits and I've tried with hollow body frogs at night and got nothing for hours. The first cast in did without a glowing frog got blown up and several others after that as well. I fish 80% at night 7 to 5 times of the weak so I wish it worked.

[@stevenowns1]

@@larikmezey3924 Black frog, glowstick on top so you can see it & the fish cant?

[@larikmezey3924]

@@stevenowns1 sure I guess so the only thing that could be not be good with that would be when it lands on the surface there is a good chances the glowstick would be down in the water making a flashy splash in a dark environment. Could work though will probably try it.

[@mikeeller557]

Another saltwater trick. We use light sticks night trolling. Thanks Matt

[@MattStefanFishing]

awesome!

[@allenchapman176]

I like this idea. What size are the glowsticks?

[@MattStefanFishing]

1 1/2"

[@law1831]

Matt, have you fished the Berkley Magic Swimmer yet? I like the sebile, I just wonder how it compares to the berkley

[@MattStefanFishing]

its the same as the sebile. nothing has changed on it since berkley bought it. and yes i have caught a bunch on the berkley sebile. it was a major player for a lot of guys at our lake murray tournament last year.

[@micheledaugherty275]

Whatever gives you confidence…… can likely generate just as many bites with a chartreuse dye marker?

[@getstraight234]

I found that most 'as seen on TV' lures are usually based on pretty good ideas but engineered poorly. I've thought of taking a few of the concepts and applying them to different lures I think that outcome would be fairly positive.

[@MattStefanFishing]

Great point!

[@AllieLsDad]

I used to subscribe to a monthly tackle box and once they sent a soft bodied lipless crank that had a slot for a tiny glow stick. It came with 2 that I immediately lost. Never seen glow sticks so small. Anyway thought it was gimmicky and never threw it. Ended up giving it away. Who knew.

[@MattStefanFishing]

gimmicky can work!

[@EdwardClarkIII]

Seems a little much to me, but I'm certainly going to try this night fishing.. lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

its fun just to use and beable to see your bait

[@twiggsherman3641]

Up here in Canada at least, we have regulations against lights and such. We aren't allowed to wear headlamps fishing at night. Well we aren't allowed to have them on with a line in the water. I have a hunch of a game warden caught me with a bunch of glowsticks, he probably wouldn't believe I was going to a rave. lol

[@MattStefanFishing]

Hahaha! I guess i would say check with your local regulations first.

[@drharemza]

[@Jeff-rn5tr]

Matt, Question: We all here or most of your listeners live in Northern ranges (I am assuming). So why don't you talk about Smallmouth More? There are so many people wanting to learn more about Smallies (that's my term I coined for them) that I feel like we need more content about it! And you would be perfect for that. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time, & Tight Lines

[@randomschmo5778]

Lol, 'smallies' is a good name, but fyi people have been calling them that for a hundred years or more. :)

[@MattStefanFishing]

i do a lot of smallmouth content. i just dont necessarily label it smallmouth content. Most of what i talk about is relatable to smallmouth as well even if its about largemouth.

[@CougarClan]

Have you tried different colors Matt??

[@MattStefanFishing]

Oh yeah! the box of 500 mini glowsticks i bought comes in 6 different colors. red, green, orange, chartreuse and pink. I havent found on to wok better than the others yet, but im sure there are times one color is best.

[@scottvaughn9565]

The secret is not out yet about that new killer lipless. The action tells you everything you need to know. The colors are sicker than the mother. If you can catch them with a lipless in stained visibilty, then you're doing it right. Hey, who dat fook is I? Maybe I'm making all these things up. But if you listen well, you shall know much.

[@MattStefanFishing]

lipless work great in dirty water

[@wolverinex4243]

You guys are missing the point. When I talk about stained water and lipless, I was not talking about the stained water or the lipless per se. I am talking about clear water fishing. The complexity in the simple statement. If you cannot understand this, you will never be elite like myself. That's why no one can get on my level.

[@wolverinex4243]

Rich and entitled Peter said he's the best at crappie fishing. He laughed at me using 12 lb lines. Lol. We got to the lake and the guy was taping glowsticks to his bobber. I used a Night Bobby and murdered them even in between two floaters. I don't even need drag like slow Peter. Peter said he's not inviting me again. He was dead serious. Lol. Nobody told you to be Mr. Know-It-All. My secret was I used two minnows at the same time..lol. They lost it when they see I was using two lines on one rod. Earlier in the daytime, I was killing it with Lunker City. Now these elite clowns are copying me. Why? Amaters.

I’ve been working a lot and the times I’ve had off island trying to fish, and I will say this the agent E, the high DEF, bluegill on my home a little lake which we called the Robert E Lee lake rate in the beginning of Baltimore county in Baltimore Maryland if you look on your map it’s called Lake Roland, right at the dam I would throw the agent E right on top of the wall as the water goes down and pull it back over I was catching two pounders, as we all know it’s getting a little darker quicker well around 6:45 as a start to get a little dark and if anybody knows who buys the baits they have a little hole in the top of the head underneath of the agent E well I filled mine in with a little bit of yellow rubber from a plastic worm and believe it or not it’s like a tail been dipped in yellow😮, and just like that hulla stix they might glow but I’m gonna be honest I used everything I’ve learned from you and a few other men like I told you, I’ve had a better year with less fishing with a better ratio hook up sometimes after eight years of fishing tournaments and banks fission canoe fishing boat fishing guide fishing, you name it I stepped my finesse game up because of you and I’m not afraid to throw a jig anymore because of you I caught my longest smallmouth at 20 inches and it was only 4 lbs. 9 oz. that’s my PB in length but I’m using all of your guys and a few other people as I always mention and I’m sorry I haven’t been on these videos but I see you’re up to 33,000 I told you 50,000 ain’t gonna be nothing and now I see all these new changes are thrown into the game taken out to tackle warehouse circuit about money and it’s a rich man’s game anybody that can comprehend knows that now fission used to be about the love of the sport, we all know you need to make money that’s what any sport especially when you become a pro, but you have a Lotta men that are very good with a little tacklebox and a basic fish location or chirp bottom line is other fishermen have to step the game up because other ones will at work them with their $10,000-$20,000 in electronics do you know well I know it is what it is but we need to realize that, people need to come together in this pro circuit pro sport however many degrees they want to break it down into, Money shouldn’t have anything to do with a man have an opportunity to go do what he can do and he can do it well or she and half the time they’re not gonna get that chance or they get specific baits that a lot of people in the pro industry gets I went to Florida and fished with a guy there and he gave me about $150 worth of tackle that a man gave him that was a pro fisherman that was fishing in Okeechobee and a man brought he said probably about $900 worth of newlure’s and soft plastic Lures, Matt I just want you to realize that you’re a great person from what I see on your videos and I also see a lot of things that a lot of other men make money off of their link in description on Bates, You can take the flipping hog with the hollow belly and put a glow stick in there with a little rattle and it’s still Waze under an ounce
