Bethel University’s Cody Huff has been sensational on Toledo Bend Reservoir over the last two weeks, winning two titles–one as part of a team and the other as a single for his first pro title and taking home a purse of $35,395.
First, he and Bethel University partner Dakota Pierce won the Bassmaster College Series event on Toledo Bend last week with a three-day total worth 60 pounds, 7 ounces. After driving home to drop Pierce off, he came back down for another round on the Sabine River impoundment. Three more days of fishing later, he locked up the first Toyota Series pro title of his career with 61-11 total in the Southwestern Division opener.
His winnings were $35,395.
With such a stout performance against some of the best local and regional anglers on a historic fishery like Toledo Bend it’s hard not be impressed by Huff’s work. Though it’s still a surprise to him and he’s happy to have that trophy riding back to Bethel with him.
“I didn’t know if I was on them good enough to do this for two weeks, I really didn’t,” he said. “I knew I was around the right quality, so I went with the idea of make as many casts as I could in front of fish this week instead of just fishing and it worked out.
“Once I get back to school and my buddies start riding me it’ll probably set in a bit.”
