First stumbling step i


My name is Matus Svec, I´m 35 years old. I was born in Bratislava, capital city of Slovakia.Growing up in the north, near the Poland border, the winters here can be sever, with temperatures of -35`C.


I studied in the heart of Slovakia, at Banska


Bystrica University and graduated in Economics. After that, in 2004 I fell in love with Silvia and have now ended up living in Vienna. My job – the boss of the ticket ‘mafia’ in Austria and Slovakia. Silvia is the best wife in the world, a beautiful


blonde girl, with amazing assets, sexy cuban backside and the biggest heart in the world. Like Ross says: “Silvia is special.” I am also proud the father of Adam Carlos


Svec, who managed third place in the World Carp Classic Junior 2015 in the Czech Republic. My fishing career started when I was six years


old, catching trout in small local rivers. I had really been caught by the big carp scene when I was a young teenager of 13. My fishing friends and I were like pioneers in Czechoslovakia, because back then you couldn’t find anything about the boilies or rigs. Absolutely nothing! The first man who helped us was Andy Little with his book ‘How to Catch a Big Carp’. My home water was the massive Liptovka


Mara, around 2,700ha. A really big, big dammed lake under the High Tatras mountains. Here we caught our first carp over 10kg after three years trying, and trying, and trying.


Pusiano and my first mirror over 20kgwas caught during the WCC 2009 on Lac de Madine, that year Team Jetfish ended up in 4th place in the team event and I managed 8th in the individual rankings. I had been in Team Jetfish from 2004 until


My PB is a common of 21.30kg from Lago di Life long carp angler, Matus


Svec aka Don Matteo on how he began a long path to the


2015 and I learned a lot from Jaroslav Tesinsky and Peter Simonic, so a big, big thank you to you guys, you are two of the best carp fishermen in the world, in the Top 10, for sure. I was dreaming about World Carp Classics,


maybe I could participate one day, but when the WCC started, I was too young, around 15. So, at that time it was just a dream. The dream of a student of modern carp fishing, a real beginner. I tried to get as much information as I could and I practiced. With time, growing up, practicing and spending all my spare time by the water, slowly it was becoming possible to compete, the dream slowly true. So, the first time I fished was in the World


Carp Classic 2007 on the Lac de Orient. Really beautiful big lake, something so


absolutely different from any water in Slovakia. The air smelled like the the sea, a little bit of mussels, a little bit of weed, it smelled good, it was a really nice feeling. The organisation was also great, with a nice warm welcome from Ross, Marianne, Andy etc. The atmosphere in bivvy city, like a great big family and the opening ceremony with its flag parade, it was all


WCC and how on his own, he began what would be part of the WCC carp fishing family


we never gave up, fighting until the last minute and we got a good result – 8th in the individual, 4th in the team competitions. It was one of the best sessions in my life. Fishing with Silvia was like being in carp paradise!
