SPRING CITY, Tenn. – Day three of the Bassmasters Classic Bracket Series saw two Bethel anglers face off for the title and the right to move on to the 2020 GEICO Bassmaster Classic.
Cody Huff, a 22-year-old senior from Ava, Mo., caught a five-bass limit Thursday that weighed 9 pounds, 14 ounces. With that effort he beat out teammate Carter McNeil.
With the win he moves on to the 2020 Bassmaster Classic to be held on Alabama’s Lake Guntersville. He also claimed $7,500, courtesy of Carhartt. He also will have the opportunity to fish in eight Basspro.com Bassmasters Opens next year.
