The two-time All-Pro grew up idolizing Jimmy Houston. Now he is trying to follow in his footsteps and qualify for the Bassmaster Classic.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer looks to throw as Philadelphia Eagles outside linebacker Trent Cole pursues during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014, in Glendale, Ariz. As a kid growing up in southern Ohio, Trent Cole Jr. and his siblings idolized legendary angler Jimmy Houston and imitated his techniques as they learned to fish for white bass and largemouth.
“As a child, I always dreamed of fishing in the Bassmaster Classic,” Cole said. “After my NFL career, fishing tournaments was on my bucket list and I was going to go hardcore at it. There is nothing like the Bassmasters. I have three chances this year to make the Bassmaster Classic.” After retiring in 2017, Cole began fishing tournaments while also filming a television show on Sportsman Channel called Blitz Outdoors. His mindset for fishing tournaments doesn’t vary much from his approach to football.
Playing football was second nature for Cole, who racked up 90.5 sacks during his career. In his next competitive career, he wants to develop the type of instincts his fishing idols compete with every day.
