Well Matt, looks like you really narrowed it down to the Invitationals or Toyota Series. The only about the Invitationals is you maybe hurting someone who's trying to get into the BPT. I know last year a few guys from the BPT dropped out towards the end so the guys below had a chance to get their dream. My thoughts are to pray about it and see where the Good Lord wants you to go. I'll still cheer you on whatever decision is made. Keep the "Juice" series going!!!! Like to see & hear what you used & caught the fish. It's a good learning tool for us novice anglers!!🙂🙃 Stay Safe & God Bless!!!🤠👍
In my opinion, the only reason to fish the opens is to punch your ticket to the classic or to get into the Elites. Now fishing the Classic I would think is just about every tournament angler dream but the odds are terrible when you only have a few chances to win one. The invitationals that I think would work would be the St. Lawrence and La Crosse. They seem to line up OK on the schedule and I think you would do well at both. Toyota series I think Chickamauga for sure (close to home) and maybe Pickwick. The one I personally would like to fish is the Lake of The Ozarks. That one is a hike but sure would be fun.
Hi Matt: New to your channel so take this comment which ever way is best for you. I’m retired. I was in business working as a CPA for over 50 years. The best thing I was ever told about my job came from my boss, an older CPA and mentor. He told me to “not over extend, don’t take on more if the quality of my work could be harmed. Your most important asset is your reputation. Taking on to much can cause fatigue, distractions and eventually burn out. Take time to rest and recharge.” So as you plan I suggest building in time to get quality rest, time to be innovative, time with family and friends, time to be your best self. In the long run this approach will pay big rewards. Hope this helps. God Bless!
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated! I totally agree with that! I’ve always built “rest” days into my schedule, but I definitely need to make sure of that when scheduling! Thanks for watching!
Like to see you fish some of invitationals, as it fits your schedule. I do like the juice recaps. Also new boat videos and new sponsors for next year. God Bless.
Juice series is great insight fun to watch. Think you need to find tournaments that fit in schedule and close not all over the country wearing you down for bass pro tour where your qualified making money at the highest level for you and your sponsors
It was great to meet you and Brittany this past season at Dale Hollow and the wife and I will be at Calvert City for Stage 5. We look forward to seeing you again and cheering for you in 2025.
I say make sure your family time is first then look into some other tournaments. Talk to Matt Stephen about the St Jude event! Enjoy life and enjoy your family!
Go with your heart and avoid unneeded stress. The juice its the juice it stays. Heck come to canada and do a few local derbs with me lol . What ever you and the wife decided is good !!
If there’s really no financial driver to fish anything other than the BPT, I wouldn’t fish anything else at the higher levels. Id use the short breaks in your schedule to create content and do smaller/local tournaments. You stay fresh, save money and still have fun.
I really don’t keep up with all the different tours so do what makes the most cents or sense. I was surprised how small the payouts are on a lot of tours…The Opens are pathetic.
Matt, I really enjoy your channel! If I may, I've been in public speaking for over 30 years and I would like to give you just a small piece of advice.... You speak well, however you have what we call a 'tic'...often when you pause in your cadence of speech you swallow and produce a noticeable 'smack' of your lips. Over time it can become distracting to a listener. Go back and watch your video and you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. Certainly not trying to be negative as I really enjoy your content! Best of luck in 2025! Tight lines!
Open a poll on your channel for your fans to vote. And ask them if you was a part of no league where would your fans want you to fish bass pro tour, bass or npfl.
@@MattBeckerFishing ya i think there are benefits for top pros like yourself to bring an audience to NPFL. I've never watched it and plan to if pros like youself and others do some NPFL events.I think you could find individual sponsors to fund a few of those. Its worth a thought.
Get a real job. Professional Bass fishing is going away. Its getting redundant with less viewers. And the payout is not worth it compared to a real job and having fun.
@@MattBeckerFishing 😂😂😂. I understand. But be prepared just in case everyone quits supporting bass fishing and you guys are just fishing for your own money Matt.
Bassmaster has my vote! Would love to watch you fish the opens
Appreciate the support!

I like and enjoy the Juice video's. Please keep and grow those. I feel you are very honest and truthful in those.
Thank you! Will do! We try to keep it real in those!
The man upstairs will help you in the decision. Whatever you choose to fish youll have success. Crazy how time flies!
🙏🙏

That’s exactly right! That’s what we are trying to work out!

Thank you sir!
You're on top of your game right name . I would definitely try to fish a few invitationals & a few Toyotas. Make hay while the sun is shining 🌟
That's the plan!
Bass Master Open - Win One and Fish the Bass Master Classic - Big Stage - Great Publicity...
That is one of the only reasons I would fish them!
I say make sure your family time is first then look into some other tournaments. Talk to Matt Stephen about the St Jude event! Enjoy life and enjoy your family!
Yes I would love to make the St Jude!
Go with your heart and avoid unneeded stress. The juice its the juice it stays. Heck come to canada and do a few local derbs with me lol . What ever you and the wife decided is good !!
I appreciate the support!
Ahhhh😢, no Elites, was looking forward to watching you up north more.
I love the north!
You seem to do a good job of making these decisions. Follow your heart.
I’ve got some thinking to do!
If there’s really no financial driver to fish anything other than the BPT, I wouldn’t fish anything else at the higher levels. Id use the short breaks in your schedule to create content and do smaller/local tournaments. You stay fresh, save money and still have fun.
I’m pretty sure this is the route I’m going to go!
I really don’t keep up with all the different tours so do what makes the most cents or sense.
I was surprised how small the payouts are on a lot of tours…The Opens are pathetic.
You definitely have to look at as a business!
Yeah. Tournaments are spread out more and can fish longer in the year also
That’s a good point!
My opinion the Toyota Series is the Best going. So for you and what you have achieved, BPT and Toyota with the 200k Championship.
I agree!
I agree 100%. Matt, MLF is the best. MLF has the best fishermen in the world.
Thank you for watching!
Sounds like Toyota series is your best bet. Decent entry fee amount with good payback.
On paper it looks the best!

I appreciate the advice!! I’ll pay attention to that now
@@MattBeckerFishing👍Awesome content and pulling for you in 2025!😁
They're going to schedule the team tournament right on top of the opens that way BPT can't fish the opens
Possibly!
Toyotas is definitely you're best bet if you're just looking to pick up a few extra tournaments...
That’s what I’m thinking!
Open a poll on your channel for your fans to vote. And ask them if you was a part of no league where would your fans want you to fish bass pro tour, bass or npfl.
I will do that!
Do whatever your girl allows you to do. Makes decisions a whole lot easier.
That’s right!
Tell me someone has drank the kool-aid without telling me…… 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
What kool-aid? All I did was speak factual information 😀
And everybody knew the NPFL wasn’t on your sonar, i mean radar…..😊
🤣🤣
You'll probably be able to fish all the Toyotas
I think I’ll fish a few!
brandon belts and other specially tournaments big regional tournaments
Oh yeah those are legit tournaments!
Just Marry Brittany and you won’t have to decide, she will decide for you!!! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
i'd like to see you dip into NPFL
Oh yeah? 🤔

I'd like to see some more videos juice videos
Sounds good!
Toyota series
Good chance that’s what I’ll do!
Invitational’s
Thinking about it!
Bass
🤔
Just go to Bass and give the people what they want. I think your years are limited at MLF.
Is that what the people want!
Opens
Meh
NPFL
Yeah?
Fish the U.S. open
Definitely on the list for next year!
This video could have literally been 3 seconds long lol.
Really? So you have experience fishing for a living?
@@deluxejunk5764 🤡🤡🤡

No Matt, you Can't Scope On The NPFL, WHY Don't You Try To Show Your Fans You Can Fish Without FFS, You Probably CAN'T???
I absolutely can! I want to fish tournaments with FFS, I enjoy using it! My best finishes this season I didn’t use FFS at all….
As far as live coverage for sponsors, bass has a renewed contract with FS1 and bpt doesnt. and the youtube game, ur gettin into about 10 years to late
