-you have Bass Ressource as your homepage on your Internet Explorer. (all your RSS feeds are fishing related anyway)

-you've put so many fishing tackle manufacturers' stickers on your laptop that you can possibly mix it up with one of your tackleboxes.

-you've ever stopped on a emergency lane on a freeway to check a water retention pond... just to see if there was bass in it.

-you've ever gotten a special months-ahead schedule from your friends before the bass season starts.

-your sister's/daughter's goldfish got eaten by a bass you brought back home...... and you even thought that was cool !

-you have 10,000 pics of you with bass, but you just can't seem to find a normal without-fish picture of yourself.

I'm not addicted, I just like to fish and think about fishing all the time. That's my only problem. Oh, and spend my money on fishing, that's all.

Hi...my name is Alan and i'm a bassaholic...

HI ALAN!!!!!

my wife thinks i'm out of my mind with bass fishing. you guys are making me feel ok about  the way i am,   thanks!  

Hey guys I,m new here but,  You know your addicted when you  sneak the boat out of the garage and act like your going to work. Or you have your store closed and a sign hanging on the door that says (gone fishing) ;D

Yea me too. Im not addicted, I just like to fish all day, talk about fishing all day and spend all my money on gear. Did I mention fishing all day?

...

o.k. my last post on this topic. if your dealers name is " BAIT MONKEY"

When someone asks you what you want for Christmas/Birthday your reply is garlic scent and worms.

You're crazy enough to go out in 35 degree temps and 20 mph winds. LOL

................ you're sleeping in the doghouse because your wife caught you fishing for the pet fish in the living room.   :

You go and freeze your fanny off on 24 inches of ice just to go fishing.

Paul

You know your addicted when you get in from a week long fishing trip and the first thing you do before going home is hit the local river cause there's still a few hours of daylight left. :

~You day dream during class/lectures about bass fishing and you doodle yourself catching a bass.

~You spend most of your time fiddling with bass gear rather then playing with the kids, spending time with spouse or doing school work.

~While riding or driving you look out of the window into the woods and try to imagine where the bass would be if the woods were flooded..."at the top of the trees? or near the trunk?"

~You believe the "Bait Monkey" is a real entity that forces you to buy lures.

When someone mentions the price of gas goin up, the first thing that comes to mind is how much it's gonna cost to fill up the boat.  

And when you're walking around the house you catch random wiffs of garlic, anise, or a combination thereof.

You axe out a channel in the ice 20 inches down so you can cast and retrieve a lure through water.

You miss a hookset and feel the overwhelming urge to break something.

You've ever sheared a prop trying to get into that "perfect spot" and then were dumb enough to try again with the replacement.

I know for a fact I'm not addicted. Heck, I've quit thousands of times!

When you plan your client meetings around local ponds to fish before or after the meetings.

If you total your truck on the way home from a fishing trip and the lost fishing gear costs more to replace than the truck does.

If you have ever gone to Bass Pro Shops to get fishing line and came home with a new boat

If you have put more miles on your boat than you have on your car

If you are on a first name basis with with three or more of the cashiers that work at the local Bass Pro Shops

you know when you are addicted to bass fishing when you are sixteen and have hormones, but think about fishing more than sex or girls.

you will only go out with girls who like to fish

your first date was on a lake fishing, and wile she was trying to be romantic and stuff all you want to do is fish.

people in school will come up to you and ask you to help them with deciding a reel, were to fish, help them cast a baitcaster, etc

if in the spring summer and fall you rarely have a girl friend because you are focused to much on fishing

get in trouble in math class because you were reading bass master when your suposed to be doing math.

and the sad thing is all those are about me and what i have done.

You may be addicted to bass fishing if....

you get a detention in French class for talking about it (in French) too much  ;D

...If you've ever considered quitting a varsity sport to free up more time on the water

You may be addicted to bass fishing if....

Oui moi aussi lol  ;D Madame just doesnt understand

Je sais qu'elle ne comprends pas... c'est injuste!!!... alors, elle a efface mon nom sur la tableu a la fin de la classe... ca va. haha yeah she gets so ticked when I talk about BPS and "aller a la peche"

1. all anybody ever asks you around work/school is "how was fishing?"

2. If people that drive by the lake you fish at honk at you because they see you there just about everyday. (happens all the time)

3. if the people that live on the lake you fish no you're name and all about you.

4. If you're cell phone/camera is filled with only pictures of bass you catch

5. If every time you pass some water you pick it apart (even the same  body of water like every morning)lol

6. If you've ever thought about quitting you're sport programs for more fishing time.
