A near two-hour boat ride to the Cooper River just outside
of Charleston, S.C., was a risk worth taking for Australian angler Carl
Jocumsen on the first day of the Huk Performance Fishing Bassmaster Elite at
Winyah Bay presented by GoRVing.
After a one-hour weather delay due to a thin line of
quickly moving thunderstorms, Jocumsen endured a one-hour, 45-minute boat ride
to access his prime fishing locations. Upon arrival, he was restricted to only
three hours of fishing before having to make a return trip to the weigh-in site
in Georgetown.
The risky ride paid off for Jocumsen, as he currently
leads the field of 109 anglers with a limit of five bass that weighed 19
pounds, 11 ounces. Local favorite Britt Myers of Lake Wylie, S.C., is in second
place with 16-8, while Matt Herren of Ashville, Ala., is holding down third
with 14-6.
