FISH TEXTING-A story about Buttermilk and fish texting.

Here I am on a Saturday night with heavy thunderstorms passing through and trying to finish a post named: “Georgia on my mind” which would have been better named “A rainy night in Georgia” except I’m now in Tennessee.

8:28 pm--I get a FISH TEXT, a picture of a fish with no text. This text is of a nice catfish. It’s from Buttermilk (Buttermilk is my fishing buddy).

I figure Buttermilk has been fishing while I was in Atlanta and he must have caught this catfish yesterday. I texted back this message at 8:30 pm:
“Nice, 3 lb Blue Cat? Where did you catch him?”

BUZZ BUZZ
8:32 pm--“Shutes branch. No light. Forgot lantern gas. It’s raining, a lot.”

Hmmm, Buttermilk is fishing at nearly 9:00 pm, on a Saturday night, in thunderstorms without lights! For most folks this would be a predicament, but not Buttermilk. I thought for a minute-- A lot of folks fish at night, a few folk’s fish in the rain, a couple of folk’s fish without lights, but I don’t know of anyone that would do all three and in heavy thunderstorms for very long. That’s Buttermilk! Now, what to text back? .....Need Gas or you are a fool, or you are a Fishing Fool, I finally decided on this message.

8:34 pm “Buttermilk, you are a true fisherman”
