Lucky Hat

When I first met Mattie, he was exchanging baseball

cards with some of his pals. This is a quiet youngster and not at all what I

expected from somebody who was called the "Tiger Woods of Fishing" by

the editor of California Fishing last month just after he won the prestigious

under-sixteen title.

Mattie was pushed into fishing by his father, John,

when he was nine. He accompanied his father on numerous fishing trips. So he had

picked up most necessary tips and tricks by the time he tried it himself. And

it seemed to come naturally to him.

He often mentioned that he caught his first fish after

about four minutes of fishing. His father says he has a great technique,

enormous patience and, most importantly, a willingness to listen and learn.

His first fishing trophy was won at the age of ten. He

was Californian under-twelve champion the following year. He was also the

American under-thirteen champion but it was the under-sixteen tournament

success, against much older sportsmen, that gave him the most satisfaction.

Mattie explained his success in a different way. ‘This

hat was bought for me in England,’ he says, handing it to me. ‘I’ve won three

tournaments wearing it and if I lost it or something,

I would dive in after it’.
