BassFan Senior Editor Despite posting a Top-10 finish in each of his first three seasons on the MLF Pro Circuit, Matt Becker questioned his ability to win at that level. The 2018 Rookie of the Year had established himself as a check-casher and points-compiler, but concluding an event at the very top of the standings sheet was something that he feared might forever elude him. This is my fourth season and I ve consistently been in the top third of the points standings, but I hadn t really been in contention to win except for one time, said the 29-year-old from Pennsylvania. I wasn t sure if it fit with my fishing style I ve always gone for consistency rather than swinging for the fence and trying to win.
