Topic 1: Giant Swimbaits for Giant Tournament Bass - Enormous swimbaits are often thought of as tools primarily for one-fish trophy hunters, for use only in very limited portions of the United States. Carl Jocumsen has used them in some unexpected environments, and he knows that many "non-typical" lakes have a window when they'll produce a kicker fish. Find out which swimbaits he likes and how he knows when and where to throw them on tournament day.

Topic 2: Total Boat Control - Making perfect presentations means having the right angle to attack your targets. That means taking into account wind, current and shadows, a task that has been made infinitely easier through the use of modern boating technology and electronics. Carl Jocumsen has Humminbird 360, a Minn Kota Ultrex and Talons on his boat, and while he understands that each has individual value, collectively they are much more valuable than the sum of their parts.
