Top 10 for Carl
First Aussie in the US Bassmaster tournament gets fantastic resultAustralia's new favourite sporting export Carl Jocumsen has beaten over 100 of America's best in the 2015 Bassmaster Elite Lake Guntersville tournament in Alabama.
Congratulations have been pouring into Carl's Facebook page after the Australian fisherman placed sixth in the tournament.
Carl Jocumsen has "worked his arse off" for this opportunity and finally he is starting to be rewarded for his efforts and hard work with a top 10 finish in his second ever Elite Series event.
To put that into perspective, there are some very talented people who have been trying to qualify for the elites for 20-plus years and are still trying to simply qualify.
In four years Carl, who had previously never even caught a large-mouth bass, has managed to finish his second-ever event in sixth place, which is great considering he was only hoping for a top 50 cut.
It's an incredible effort for the only Australian on the tour and we wish him more good fortune in the tournaments to come.
