Hey all...

It's been a little tense on the boards here lately with everyone gearing up for, or starting their season, so I figured I'd throw out a fun thread. I am sure it's been posted in some form or another before, if so, here it is again:

You may be addicted to bass fishing if??? Here's mine to get it started.

You drive by a body of water (it could be a puddle, doesn't matter) and go over in your mind "Here's how I'd fish that!!" Cranking there, plastics there, OH!!! and a frog way back there!!!!!

Then your wife yells at you and tells you to "Watch the road!!!!" :

You spend 50% of your time on this board and 50% of the time on the water.   on BR +   for bass = Bass Addict.

you tell your wife you dont have money for home repairs, remodels but you order that lure you just have to have that same day.

You look at traffic cones, wheel chairs, shelves and shopping carts and think that they would make great cover on the bottom of your lake!

tell my wife that i cant buy the couch that she wants but went and bought a battery charger for my trollling motor battery.

go without buying groceries so that i can buy gas for the truck and boat. only buy food when needed.

Don't go hungary now, that is never fun man.

when you reply to a thread like this lol

If act like you are setting the hook but you don't have a rod in your hands, and someone else see's you do this?  

You may be addicted to bass fishing when:

1. When you're talking about fishing and someone overhears they give you a dirty look because they think you're talking about something sexual, and it happens often

2. The boat on your lawn costs more than your house did

3. You'd rather your wifes car sit outside than your boat and truck

4. Your fishing buddy's know more about you than your wife and/or girlfriend  

5. "The fish are biting" is a plausible excuse for being late to work

6. Your best friends are the ones you fish with

7. You can't even stop dreaming about bass fishing

8. When theres ice on the lake you and your friends break a big hole in it just to have enough room to cast a jerkbait or jig.

9. If you kept every fish you caught it would decimate lake populations

10. And if you pick your wife dependant on how much she complains about how much you go fishing!

If you can tie a palmer knot faster than you can tie your shoes.

If you come home smelling like fish and the only question your wife ask is how many you cought.

If you buying house so you will have a place to park the boat you don't have yet...............YET  :

If you set the hook in your sleep  

 

lol this was a good thread

Or in Tin's case, there doesn't even have to be water! He just looks at the land and says "Imagine if we flooded that?!"  ;D That's hardcore.

When your wife wakes up in the morning to find you gone, then checks the weather report to see where you are.

When your boat is always hooked to your tow vehicle because you have another car just for driving to work and around town.

When your garage resembles a tackle shop.

When the only thing people ever say to you is "How's the fishing?".

I can't believe how accurate this is, 3 out of 4 are exactly me.

If the library in the bathroom consists of BPS Master Catalogs, Cabela's sales fliers, issues of BassWestUSA and Bass Master, and a note pad to jot down the the latest "got to have."

that was going to be my contribution! i find myself doing this constantly. driving by bodies of water and looking for structure and cover and thinking how i'd fish it.

my brother and i just took a road trip to toronto and at one point we had a river running parallel to the highway, and i kept looking over at it and finally my brother says "do you keep looking at that river?" and when i answered "yes" he said "because you're thinking about fishing, aren't you...." neither one of us could help but laugh when i sheepishly said "yeeeeeaaaaaah....."

You buy a new house for its location adjacent to a lake over whether the house is suitable or not.

Your decision on buying a house is based on having a good spot to park your boat.

You are willing to drag a conoe 1.2 miles into the woods to a lake that may not have any fish.

These are great guys....keep 'em coming!!!!

You DELAY your upcoming retirement for 6 months to a year to pay for the Bass Boat that you just HAD to have!

I can't even say anything, i do that too

you go to your area fishing report and weather page once or twice daily and your day's off are another 20 days away. if you look at your wifes honey do list trying to figure out how to get it done so it won't interfere with your day's off fishing trip, then spend your last day off trying to get it all done. ;D

There is fishing more line on your floor than most small tackle shops have because you are learning new knots, respooling, picking backlashes,etc,etc,......

I dont need excuses. I know im already addicted ;D

permanent tan lines from your sunglasses 8-)

you've used the excuse "the fish where biting" for being late to school, turning in late homework and failing a test, all on the same day
