Being so young into a career of Professional Bass Fishing – Matt Becker just finished his fifth season with Major League Fishing. Winning the 2017 Toyota Series Tournament on 1000 Islands was the game-changer for Becker: allowing him to transition to the Pro Circuit Level – a lifelong dream come true. In 2018, Becker had an accomplished rookie season and won the 2018 Rookie of the Year Award. In 2019 and 2020, Becker finished top in the AOY standings — 14th and 4th place respectively. While each of these accomplishments were fantastic milestones for Becker, 2021 might have trumped them all. In 2021, Becker clinched the win at the MLF Pro Circuit Tournament on Lake Murray, taking home $135,000 and a new piece of hardware. He also won Angler of the Year in the Northern Division of the Toyota Series. In 2022, Becker hit another milestone goal, finishing 5th in the AOY standings, he qualified to fish the Bass Pro Tour in 2023. It goes without saying but Becker is fulfilling his goals one at a time. He is looking forward to thriving with Major League Fishing and to adding more hardware to his collection in the seasons to come.
