Little Mac
With Terry as his mentor, it was only a matter of time until Brody began dominating the junior trails. In his first year of competition Brody won the Indiana Junior Bassmaster State Championship for the 11-14 year old age group which qualified him to goto the Junior World Championship along with the 15-18 year old winner, Jacob Wheeler. With the first year behind him and experiencing what it is like to fish for a world championship, Brody was hooked. He went onto win 6 Jr Bassmaster State Championships along with 2 FLW Jr State Championships before getting into High School Fishing. Sophomore year of High School Brody and his partner, Greg Zellers finished 2nd at State which pushed them to become better. With the bitter taste of defeat in their memory, they made sure not to repeat their past mistakes and took home the State Championship Title the next 2 years.
Brody graduated High School in 2013 with honors. In the fall of 2013 Brody started his college education at Indiana University where he went onto joining the Fishing Club. As a member of the Hoosiers Fishing Club, he went on to capture the Big Ten Championship Title in 2013, his freshman season. Other major successes include a 6th Place National Championship Finish in 2016 at Pickwick, 4th Place College Bass Wild Card 2017, and a 16th Place finish in the College Bass National Championship. Outside of College Fishing Brody has become quiet well known for his abilities to use electronics and fishing off shore.
