When the Bassmaster Elite Series season kicked off at the California Delta, there was one name that was conspicuously not on the roster; Brent “Brody” Broderick from Oregonia, Ohio. Broderick was set to begin his sophomore season on the Elite Series when he was derailed by a hand injury.
While Broderick’s name may not be instantly recognizable to the everyday fan of the Bassmaster Elite Series, the hardcore fans and his counterparts on the Elite Series, Brody is a fixture on the tours. Broderick worked for several years to qualify for the Elite Series, and along the way he became friends with many of the anglers who he would compete with on the Elite Series stage.
