Meet Scott Bernarde
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ever since catching his first bullhead catfish as a 4-year-old while growing up in Wisconsin., AJC Outdoors sports reporter Scott Bernarde has had a love of the outdoors.
He’s been known to withstand raw 40-degree days in the wind and rain in hopes that something — anything — will bite. He’s sat still for hours while covered in camouflage during too-many-to-count turkey hunts without a shot being fired. He fell into the Amicalola Creek in February one year, filled his waders with 35-degree water, then dried off, changed and returned to the river to catch a 16-inch rainbow trout.
But, the Troy University graduate who has been with the AJC for nearly 20 years, has never caught a 10-pound largemouth bass, one of the most sought-after moments for a Southern outdoorsman. Don’t hold that against him.
