watch out for don and his "surprise" plugs

Your dreaming of fighting the "big" one and all the eyes on your rod are falling off.

Your GF asks why the garbage disposal isn't working anymore, you look into it and it's full of beach sand after you've rinsed off your gear.

Your awake a full hour before the alarm clock rings to go fishing.

You pace up and down your driveway at 2:00am with the truck running waiting for your buddy to arrive and he's not even late yet.

Your garage stinks so bad of bait your GF wants to tear it down and rebuild a new one, by herself!

Your GF's mother no longer speaks to you because GF complains about all the hours you spend fishing and not spending time with her.

You convert the second gas tank in your truck into an eel tank and you cut some vacuum line under your hood and make an aerator for it. Truck now won't pass inspection between april and october so you drive with an expired sticker until november.

Cats in the neighborhood keep crapping in the bed of my truck. Must be all the sand?

You swipe a tropical fish from your friends saltwater aquarium to try as bait.

You try to come up with a way to fish and play guitar at the same time.

You go out for sushi with GF and when the seaweed salad arrives you inspect it for the "hatch".

You wonder if some other countries really use kittens as bait.

You rig your potato gun to shoot danny's over 1000 yards with a spool attached to it.

We are a truly sick bunch :laugha:

You've been fishing for a bunch of days straight and you're walking in a daze.. You see breaking fish and you fall into a trance staring into your plug bag, someone who's fresher walks by and tells you to just pick one and go with it, you've been fishing 6 days in a row..

You angle your backcast so you don't hook the baby you have in your backpack.
You don't drink on a weekend night because it'll affect your fishing the next morning.
Your wife is jealous of your flyrod.
Any time your wife can't find a nail clipper, she checks your plugbag.
The wife is reluctant to get into your truck because she's scares s***less of fish hooks.
You start to like the taste of bunker rubbing off on your sandwich.
You get excited when the July forecast is overcast and windy.
You cut that long, white hair from your dog's tail to use for fly tying.

You're a contractor, and your GF hires your foreman to build the deck of her dreams this summer, cause she just knows..........

who's payin' you or her?

Oh I WILL PAY, trust me.... she'll write a check tho, in my blood

thought so.......:bl:

Dead of the winter in a snowstorm... have aready reorganized 3 times over, respooled with 50 # powerpro.... See a city plow coming by and throw a Kastmaster at it and lock up and listen to the vs 200 sing like a canary as the plow takes off like a 50 pounder

Man I'm getting jittery.... Is it may yet??????????????????

When your GF askes for more quality time with her, you take her out for a 'pleasure cruise' around the harbor and think you could get away with bringing your rods 'just in case' then once on the boat start the 8mile run to the tip of monomoy... rationalizing like an alcholic looking for his next drink that she'll never figure it out. Even when she is staring at you with the all knowing eyes...

By the time March rolls around, you actually think you're starting to like Charlie Moore -- he's catching fish -- any fish.

You plan a Sunday trip to the tackle shop, as if it would be open now.

You can't wait for the lake to thaw so you can practice getting good action on all your plugs.

You pick a custom rod over a KitchenAid mixer for your Christmas present.

You miss the rank smell and utter mess in your vehicle, and can't wait for the weather to warm up to see if the smell will come back.

You buy ridiculous amounts of hooks, weights, etc., that you will inevitably lose way before the season starts.

I can't wait!!! :drool:

You justify going fishing while your significant other is justifying kicking your sorry arse out of the house, yet you still go...:behead:

When your buddy is moving and they are shopping for a futon.. his wife says... to call me to tell me it's just in case I get thrown out of the house, I'll have a place to crash.... :D
good friends know EVEN when they dont fish....

You just don`t care anymore except
 

to go fishing :hihi:

Meeting a nice chick and just knowing that she wont make it to July :devil:

tonight i realized that i compare almost everything to fishing...
"that was almost as fun as fishing"
and then the rare "as fun as fishing"

you take partial payment for a truck in custom wood :hihi: ......

man, that's sick :hihi:

when you goto school one morning, you haven't slept a wink and your trying to tell your best friend about the one time that you caught your biggest fish. and they're standing there saying what the hell you talking about.. and your response is ' i haven't slept all night, because i was busy remembering what fishing is like'

yeah, i live in a beachy town and yet not one of my guy friends which is practically all of my friends, know the the heck i'm talking about or how to fish..

You roll outta the truck hike on your dry top, grab your bag and your rod, you wade out, you forgot your waders, its sunday you've been parked on the beach since friday after work.... its November..

thought I'ld dig this one out of the grave...by far the funniest thread of all time

you replaced the pull chain smily face your wife put on the celling fan over the dinning table with an old Atoms junior swimmer,,,blue and white of course,,,

You no longer have to choose smileys from the pictures......you actually know what text to type so they work.

You can't leave the house unless somewhere on your person, clothing, jewelry or skin is an image of a fish.

When you are at a sporting event and they sing "God Bless America" and they get to the part where they sing-

"to the ocean, white with foam"

.... and you think to yourself, That's a good place to catch stripers!

when having a day off from work and all you can do is check s-b.com every 30min.man I need to get a life.:bsod:

when you have to decide between naked women and big bass as to what gets your heart pounding more

I think this is my all time favorite thread. There are hundreds of very funny symptoms of the disease in here...:rotf2:

You're wife angrily asks why you seem to have a fishing buddy nearby, no matter where you go for vacation.
Wife is afraid to go into the basement or half the garage for fear of treble hook-adorned plugs.
You get chewed out for plugs stuck in curtains, living room rug, and baby's car seat.
Dead animal parts and fly-tying gear on kitchen counter.
Soup pot of live eels in fridge takes wife by surprise.
You never look at the calendar, but have tide tables at work, in the car, on the computer desk, on the fridge, and on the nightstand next to the bed.
Wife has to sit in the back seat, because your fishing gear's in the front passenger seat.
Coworkers think you have a drinking problem because you come in red-eyed and tired every morning.

payed parking tickets in advance @ the police station telling them I be back there tomorrow so here's the money now !!
