He grew up in Towamba, Australia – a part of the world that does not even have bass. So to say Carl Jocumsen is an underdog is an understatement. But what he lacks in experience, he replaces with heart, thus his motto, ‘Fear My Heart’. This week, the only Australian to ever win a Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament, Carl Jocumsen joins the podcast in a very open, raw and honest conversation about the agony of angling along the way.

Carl is a tremendous asset to the sport!!
One of, if not THE best podcasts I’ve ever heard. CJ story helped me through a difficult day. Thanks Dave. Thanks Carl!
I hope the leagues will become more transparent. I would like to know the guys I support have the same morals/ethics I have.
Come in y’all hug it out ❤ 😂. Enjoy, Carl
Dave, you are are a very positive person and you bring it out of all of your guests! Best podcast hands down! Thank you for all you do for our sport and for humanity!
This should be your most watched episode. Everyone, fisherman or not could use to listen to this message on a regular basis, no one more than myself. Hopefully this episode turns into one like GMans PMA video.
Need more humans like Carl on this planet. 👊
Excellent talk, Dave. Carl is the man.
What an incredible story!! After this talk, I am now a huge Carl Jocumsen fan and will be rooting for his success and longevity in this sport. We need more honest and integrity-driven individuals in this world.
Incredible interview…honest to the bone!
This past spring my brother and I fished an event to raise money for a local who has ALS. At the weigh in, a friend we have known for years showed us a pic of a 5+. I said you will definitely get big fish today as tough as it was. He said, turned her back. Why? Hooked on outside of the mouth and she was on bed. (Early spawn her in WV). I always respected this guy, but that bumped that respect up a few notches. His integrity was worth more than a few hundred dollars.
What a motivational episode boys! Thanks Carl !
Am I weird this may be my third watch. Lol. Looks like with people like Johnny morris. Kevin van dam who ever can not help this guy get back over here sooner rather than later. Com on. This country is an open gate. And he was one day late. Good lord. Let’s go fishing community. Let’s help Tommy
Can I say. bullshit for Tommy. Nonsense. You got people with work visa. Picking crops. All the time. Once again millions of people have came in illegally under this administration. Some one can help this guy.
What if he’s employed by one of these huge companies.
I have a bone to pick, why are you guys still fishing for 1990 💰 money 💰 or is the money made behind close doors , endorsements etc…….
Super inspiring 🙌. Loved the show and what an amazing human Carl is. Makes me proud to be an Aussie and cant wait to come over to Support Carl when he wins a Classic💪🐟🇦🇺🎣
So someone from Australia or Japan comes for 91 days, but if you come across the Southern border from a 3rd world country then you can stay for 10 yrs before theyd even start to wonder where your at. And theyll give them money to travel as well, and it costs Carl a fortune. Thats insanity, and ticks me off. People that do it correct get crapped on, but if you come illegal, this regime will welcome ya in!
Last night my boy and I were out and it wasn't working. He started bemoaning the situation, when I looked at him and said; Imagine not being able to catch fish consistently for 10 years. The agony of angling is out there and very real, but when its what you do, it rolls off your back a lot easier.
Meanwhile millions have crossed the southern border, trafficked kids, cartel members, caught some isis. But lets run a fisherman thru the ringer.
Tell Tommy to go to Mexico, and come over the border that way. Shouldn't cost him any legal fees. Biden is letting millions come to the US that way on the tax payers dollar for a vote at the polls
Just take one big one man gonna watch no matter what keep it up
You doing what we wish we could do
Carl your a great dude! True inspiration and like Ike says “NEVER GIVE UP”. Good luck on the northern swing.
There's a class act.!! Good luck in the future.
Oh boy should just fly to Mexico and cross the river. They’ll make him a citizen and pay for his Opens 😂
Possibly my favorite episode ever !
