My name is Cody Huff and I am from Ava, Missouri. I am a two-time FLW Champion, Bassmaster Collegiate National Champion, have fished a Bassmaster Classic, and have qualified for the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series.

I’m bass fishing media pro in Japan. (I’m doing mainly TV, magazine, YouTube shooting) At 2019, I challenged Bassmaster tournament(Central Opens), it was my first year of Bassmaster Open tournament and it was my dream.

I had a PLAN and that’s where it all began. In grade school, I competed in every tournament that would allow a youngster in. After graduation, I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I needed a career outside of the fishing world that I could afford to fish and still have the time off to pursue my dream. I graduated from UAB in 1992 with a Bachelor Degree in Nursing. I worked at UAB hospital in the Intensive care unit for four years. I competed in as many tournaments as I had time to fish, becoming quite competitive on any lake on the Coosa River. In 1992, I also married my best friend and high school sweetheart, Cindy. I met her on a boat dock at Lake Weiss eight years prior and if there’s anything such as love at first sight, that was it! After four years at UAB Hospital, I decided to go on to anesthesia school. That was at University of Tennessee. Talk about a house divided………..anesthesia school was no joke. It was tough, sleeping with a text book, up all hours of the day and night, and reading hours upon hours. Hands down it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Not the book work, but having to give up my fishing for those years. Anyway, I made it through that gauntlet and graduated with honors from UT.

Bassmaster Elite Series. Fishing from Japan to all over the world!!
