RIP Buster Loving

[gabe]

Haven't been on the forum in a few weeks and just saw this.  Shocked and saddened to hear this.  I had the pleasure of spending the day with Buster probably over 20 years go on Table Rock on a guide trip while we were at Big Cedar for spring break.  Buster and I hit it off from the beginning when he found out I was from Oklahoma and he told me he was an Okie as well. I learned a ton on how to fish a stickbait watching Buster that day.  He showed me some of his Rogues that were painted and the longer bills he and Tim Sainato were putting on them.  I think it was kind of a secret at the time but he had to show me what they had.  We didn't catch many that day but still had great time.  I saw him again a year or so later when I fished in a Central Pro Am as a non boater on Table Rock.  He remembered me and was friendly as could be.  Invited me to practice with him on the next Central Pro Am derby at Table Rock.  

RIP Buster.  Blessed to have spent some time with you.
