The first Top-10 finish that Dustin Connell posted as a tour-level angler was his victory at Ross Barnett Reservoir during his 2017 rookie season on the Bassmaster Elite Series. His résumé since then shows that he's been more consistent than spectacular.
He produced five single-digit finishes in 13 regular-season outings over the first two years of the MLF Bass Pro Tour's existence, but was left wondering when that second win might arrive. It occurred last week when he dominated the final day of the REDCREST Championship at Lake Eufaula in his home state of Alabama.
