Charles Johnson grew up fishing and hunting the lakes, rivers and mountains of east Alabama. Since he was able to walk he was tagging along with his dad to nearby lakes to fish. Later on it was squirrels and quail along with his passion for fall and spring turkey hunting. If it swam Charles has probably fished for it, bream, crappie and bass are some of his favorite species.

The outdoors has always been an important part of Charles’ life and heritage. He loves just getting outside and enjoying God’s creation.

In 2002 Charles became the Outdoor Editor for The Anniston Star, Alabama’s largest home owned newspaper, writing a column and a feature article each week. He also does the outdoor photography which accompanies his articles for the paper along with photos for outdoor magazines and internet sites.
