known him and his dad (Van) since early 80's.his dad qualified for the classic back in the 80's through bass federation.....both class acts,very good fishermen and real credit to our sport....
I drew Steve in a redman(bfl) back in the 80's when he was just a teenager....he almost won the tournament from back of my boat....he was throwing an old raggedy buzzbait that wouldn't run right,kept falling over on it's side but every now and then a 6lb bass would grab it...
Steve and his wife would sleep in a tent back in his early years of tournament fishing so I'm pretty sure what money steve has,he has won or earned.....

The part of the documentary where he talks about the Yamaha motor is hilarious. Good for him.

He is proof that you don't need all the hype and brand new equipment to fish for a living.
He drives a 2004 or 2005 Chevy dually.
His BassCat is not brand new.
He has 7" screen electronics on that BassCat.
And he did not have Power Poles until the Classic on Conroe, they rigged his boat with the poles during Classic practice.

Awesome guy, humble and an all out hoot to be around!

I watched a good bit of that video just now. Seems real down to earth, love how he covers up Yamaha with duct tape. Also loved listening to him about the bass tracker and winning out of it so much. Just a real good fisherman though, thats for sure. Surprised he did not win the classic!

Here is my take, echoing what others have said -- he does what is best for his career and his family, totally about substance over image

His love of Auburn plus his lack of sponsors. The blue is to blend in to the sky.
