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.

Hello Matt! Greetings from Brazil! One of my favorite color of all time is the "firetiger" I just need some clouds and there is a firetiger lure in my rod! I've been painting chartreuse belly on my white wake baits also! Sorry for any english mistakes. Nice video!

@@MattStefanFishing nobody talks about that color, but It is one the best. For about 25 years the shad rap 7 in fire tiger was my number one balsa Bass lure here in the south Brazil.

When I began bass fishing in the early 70's, and then on through the 80's and 90's, the majority of our fishing was done with traditional spinnerbaits, and we typically threw 2 colors: black or chartreuse. When green pumpkin became the rage, I've thrown it consistently, but probably should go back to chartreuse occasionally.

@MattStefanFishing 17 күн бұрын

@sheepdad556 16 күн бұрын

100% agree on the chartreuse. I like to put a little subtle chart on my swimbait tails.. usually just the edge but sometimes I'll color up the flat back of the paddle tail. BTW.. Nice write up in the "Ned Fed" article in "In-Fisherman Magazine 👍👍

Absolutely agree 100%! Been fishing Chartruese for almost 40 years and I can almost always guarantee it will catch the bigger or biggest fish of the day. From spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and especially jerkbaits. My PM smallie is on a discontinued Berkley Cutter 110+ in chartruese belly with a clear transparent body and blue to purple back like the Stunna you showed. Killer colour in clear water or lightly stained. Love a chartruese ned head as well. Will always have chartruese tied and in my tackle line up 4 life! Haha. 😂

@davidsullivan160 15 күн бұрын

Chartreuse is the best!! Started painting crankbaits a couple of years ago. Took a clear blank, based just a bit of pear white. Electric blue on the back, chartreuse on the belly around front hook hanger, and chartreuse stripes down the sides. Been catching a bunch on it!

I’ve always used chartreuse in my color selections and I keep the Spike-It pens in all of their colors but I have extra chartreuse colored pens, to dap up a plastic tail,or fins,or belly😜 watched the Elite tournament on Lake Murray, and a chartreuse fluke and a chartreuse Rizer bait was used by half the top 10😜 they got some drone shots that were the kind you’ll see in commercials for a few years 😜

Matt, agree 1000% with your assessment of chartreuse being an attracting color for bass. Back in the 80's, Bomber had a color called DFY which stands for dull faded yellow. It was popular in their 6A, 7A and 9A crankbaits. We had great success with it on the lower Arkansas River, especially when it was murky as it normally was. Don't know if Bomber is still in business or if they still make the A series of crankbaits or even that color. It was very close to chartreuse except as the name implies faded. Over half my cranks are chartreuse, the other half Always enjoy your videos.

I 100% agree. For Lake Erie walleye, that's the color I fish 90% of the time. It does well in the muddy water. The only time it doesn't work so well for me is in clear water. For some reason, I do better with more natural colors.
