I know Steve is a phenomenal fisherman, but what makes him tick? He has few sponsors, yet competes year after year. How does he do it financially without sponsors? Is he a self made, wealthy person? Seems like a very humble and stand up guy, which is why I respect him.

I think his family time is more important than having too be on road to boat shows.

From what I understand $ is not a problem for that family so sponsors are not a big deal.

The guy is on a different level most calm guy when hooking into a big fish just go watch videos he just lets them swim and taking them to open water. Insane with a swim jig pretty impressive he does it with minimal sponsors

One of the best. Got to like a guy that can win a major in a 10 year old 18' boat with a 150 on it and he still uses reels made in the 90s. Dude is a rock star to me.

From what I understand $ is not a problem for that family so sponsors are not a big deal. Dude slept in a tent for years and pulled his old boat with a Ford Ranger. If his family has money he didnt live that way in the early 2000s

and when he does good and win he acts just like a kid that just got handed a bag of candy and doesn't seem to take it for granted he didn't even have power poles till the day before the classic he said. He seems to be a great family guy and has fun whether he wins or loses and catches or not.
