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.

I love fishing a football jig in the local canals. There's almost no structure in them except the weeds on the bottom in the center. I was new to fishing a jig and kept getting hung up in the weeds, so thinking I wasn't going to get bit I yanked the jig free of the weeds and all of a sudden the weeds pulled back...I thought, wait a second, weeds don't pull back! My first catch on that jig was a large mouth at 6lbs 12 oz! Great info, thanks for sharing!

The jig is my nemesis.... I simply can't get bite on this lure..... As much as I try, I just don't have any confidence in catching fish off this bait.. And, I fail to see how jig fisherman can say drop shotting is slow/dull.... Holy moly, I would say the exact same is true for jig fishing. Good video. I keep throwing it and keep watching videos like this to see if I can find a way to get bite on a jig.

Before using a jig, I watched the guy who owned the boat that I was fishing with a black/blu jig with an uncle Josh pork rind during pre spawn. He caught 3 fish between 5 and 10 pounds within a half hour. Along with a spinner bait, it's truly a big bass jig.

I have my ways of fishing just about every bait but I love these videos, I mostly do the first and 2nd retrieve, I need to try stroking a jig more. Id love to see one on spinnerbaits, that is one bait I love to fish, and I do alot, but for me its the one bait I pretty much just chuck and wind, maybe a twitch or 2 through the whole retrieve. It certainly works but I would love to hear other ways. Liveing in a great lakes salmon/steelhead fishery its surprising how few people target bass here, especially largemouth, so I don't really have other people to compare notes with.

Fortunately, I’ll never be afraid of the jig. lol. IMHO, the most fun way to fish. Although I’ve altered size and profile over the years due to tougher bites from over fishing,but the jig is will will probably always be my go to. .The only time I shy away from a jig is in heavy weed. By me it’s milfoil, contain, pondweed, hydride,etc. Then I will use a T-Rig that closely matches a jig. Like a skirted double tail grim or a beaver or craw type bait. Just to keep from picking up the weed.

I watched your other video on stroking jigs. While watching it I thought that’s exactly how I fish it. I guess I’m doing it right. I usually fish it like that in weeds, kinda like when you pop a lure out of the weeds when it gets stuck. I’ve never really been a dragger only shorter pops in rocks. I’ll have to give those a try. I really like watching your channel because your a northern guy and I’m from Connecticut. Not that bass are different but the techniques seem to be a little different. I feel northern style’s need to have a bit more finesse. When I watch and try the southern stuff I just can’t seem to get a lot of it to work.

Sweet video. I've been using a football jig and casting jig to burn the flats. I have a 8:3:1 reel. I turn the handle super fast for half a rotation or a full rotation. Then I let it sit. So the jig looks like a fast tadpole or guppy. They react with a fast bite, then I pause it when I feel them bite, watch the line move, then set the hook.

I've had the same issue and then saw Randy Blaukat have a video on how to trim the weed guard. After trimming the guard, I rarely lost any fish and the jig is still weedless.

Try holding your rod tip lower to the water when you're fighting the fish and don't waste time bringing it in

If the drag technique is is getting bits try switching to a football head to increase those numbers. Thanks Matt.

I do the little jumps and and big pops. I’m always worried about getting snagged just slow dragging.

By far my favorite lure to catch fish... One question.... vertical or horizontal line tie...? I feel the vertical line tie allows the line not to get frayed so easily...thoughts... Happy 4th of July!!!
