Huff starts with a 7-pounder

Big things were predicted for Cody Huff after he posted a stellar college bass fishing career at Bethel University and won the 2021 Central Opens Angler of the Year title. Those big things haven’t happened yet, but it’s early. The Ava, Mo., pro turned 25 years old last month on St. Patrick’s Day. Huff was ranked 62nd in Elite Series AOY points coming into this tournament, and he was 70th after Day 1 at Chickamauga. Huff got a boost this morning when he landed this 7-pounder just before 8 a.m.
