CARL Jocumsen is a young Queensland country boy mixing it with the best while competing in the USA Elite Series Bassmaster events. Carl is up against some of the biggest names in fishing; names like Kevin Van Dam, Mike Iaconelli and Skeet Reese.
Overnight he earned himself another top 10 finish, which is a huge achievement! Plenty of anglers in the Elites might never make a final day cut but Carl has done it twice this year.
To put it into perspective, Carl is the first angler to qualify who doesn’t come from a background of targeting Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass. Australia doesn’t even have these species of fish, and until a few years ago, Carl hadn’t caught many let alone staked his livelihood on consistently catch them against the best. Australians have been “blowing up the internet” following Carl’s journey on Bassmater.com when watching the weigh in and on board coverage.
Congratulations on another great finish, Carl! We’ll be following you and cheering you on for the rest of the season.
