when you "auto-drive" to your favorite hole instead of home after an 18 hr shift

Or the say "Me too!"

When you walk into your favorite coffee joint and they have a picture of you posted on the wall with the "have you seen me?" caption underneath.....and it looks better than you do now!!

When your waders put themselves in the washing machine.

You wake up in your car wearing waders, in your neighbor's driveway.

my friend reminded me of a couple more today...
when you make your class schedule for the upcoming spring, by referencing the past 3 years log books

you remember every detail of your first bass, but not of your first kiss

your girlfriend thnks you are seeing another girl, becasue you spend so much time in montauk

when you are texting making plans for the night of fishing while using the bathroom and you have no idea that you are completely missing the toilet and pissing all over your magazines until after you hit send...

I threw the magazines away, but youre better off never borrowing a book from me... I dried those out.

You should sit when you pee.

When your basement or garage looks better stocked than the local tackle shop.


When the following morning you realize that the beach chair you're using at you kid's soccer game has a needlefish plug hanging off the back.

When in the middle of the day at work you feel something poking your inner thigh and you reach down into your pants and pull out a teaser caught in your good work pants and your Portuguese intern calls you a Greenhorn.

When you leave your house at 2am to fish and get to work at 10am and can't concentrate and have to post on SB.

When you try to sneak into the big bed with the lights off and your wife says-- Who is it???

Your in a derby fishing stoop-er. You wake up and your kid needs a ride to school. You hop in your shorts and he is in the truck waiting to go. You try and chat it up on the way to school. Your body is in auto-pilot and you drive him to the boat. You stop the truck and say "here you go" and he says...Dad...I need to go to school !

When two weeks bf your having a spinal fusion you talk a semi acquaintance to drive you 2.5 hours to the canal while you lay in the back set get out and fish for 7 hrs drive back laying down in the back seat crying in pain and your fishing buddy has to carry into your house.

When your kid thinks your eels are part of the family pets.

Your wife has picked up ballyhoo for you on her way home

When the doctor says "You have tendonitis in your elbow" and it is not from tennis. I have to make sure he gives me the cortisone, just before i go to block next week.

When your wife knows to keep the eels iced down when your at work. That was no easy task..

My son named one and won't let me take it out of the eel tank when I go fishing. It's the smallest one in the tank so he can tell it apart from the rest and if he doesn't help me net them to put in my bucket, he checks to make sure I didn't grab it by mistake.

Oh, that's the best!!!
Back in the 90s I was fishing the fall run like a madman and working for IBM in Boston. Got in the car to drive to Boston and finally came to as I pulled into the Deep Hole parking lot in SoCo.

when you pour orange juice,not water into the coffee maker.....happened to me this past Thursday.

you spend 2 anniversies on cutty without your wife...

Your waders never dry out completely between trips, and your truck smells like eels.

When you turn completely nocturnal and cannot sleep between the hours of 9pm and 3am. Even on the nights you say home to catch up, somehow the fog mysteriously shakes off as the sun sets.

...no matter how much sleep you've lost the previous 3 nights in a row.

Like right now!!!!! :smash:

Yep. Me too

When all the reports become transparent and you see through them as such. Because you have real intel on what was going on in a given place what they were feeding on etc. And how truly catchable the fish were. When you understand that at times you will have your ass handed to you by a big fish while a "googan" will land a big fish on inferior gear 100 yards away from you just because sometimes that's the way it goes

You know you fish alot when girlfriend gets stuck by hook when taking the mail off the dinner table.

You go to play golf, and your swing feels like a lawn chair unfolding

Your wife complains about a leak in one of her car tires and asks if you would take a look at it. You walk over to the tire and see a 4/0 VMC treble sticking out tread. You pull it out and are impressed with how well it held up under the road abuse.
She asks...did you fix it? yeah...nothing a shot of fixaflat couldn't repair.

When you cut your honeymoon short cause there's a bite on the block...

When your 3 year old tells her pre-school teacher and class that her favorite food is "Fish & Chips" - She's never had fish in her life.....

when pulled over by cops and they ask for your licence and you give them your fishing licence

When your setup is worth more than your car 😟
