Since Georgia Outdoor News magazine started in 1987, we have continuously enjoyed sharing the accomplishments of others. Some months we’ll receive hundreds of pictures of happy hunters and anglers every year who just want to share their accomplishments.

Over five years ago, my wife and I were walking in the historic Madison, Georgia cemetery on a beautiful, cold December day.

A storm was rapidly approaching. The water in the pond was cold and overflowing from recent heavy rains. And there would…
