You fish a tournament 18 hours into your marriage on your honemoon. This annual tournament typically falls on your anniversary. Another tournament falls on her birthday, so you make it a "family event"

You get the wife of your fishing buddy to meet and like your wife so maybe the families can "Vacation Together" on the Vineyard during the Derby (Greg, you saw my other post, right)

You suffer from Sleep Apnea as you forget that when the Doc says eight hours of sleep he doesn't mean in a week. very difficult when you are not a night person or a morning person...

You know precisely how to make the driver's seat as comfortable to sleep in as possible. You have pilloes and a blanket in the car.

You have your favorite parking spot at a rest stop. You know where every highway exit is with a Dunkin Donuts within 2 minutes.

You are willing to risk a powernap on a rock with Korkers as long as it's flat and the surf is small (note to sell - don't try this again)

You take the job that pays 20% less per year because it's closer to fishing but then beotch that you don't have enough coin to buy more gear

Your last line of defense in your argument with your wife is telling her that "at least I'm not out drinking at the bars every nite"

Your infant son says the word "Boat" clearly before "Mom" - I gotta in a lot of stink about that...

Your wife yells at you for ruining the vaccum because all the snipped tag lines wrapping around the roller has burned out the motor.

On the phone with vendors you doodle a reel schematic that will allow you to come out with a better reel than a Van Stall for less money

You miss all the good freinds you've made over the years but never get together because they don't fish...

You have more nicks, scrapes, punctures, skin seperations, line cuts than anyone you know.

You don't trim (or bite) two nails as much becuase they are better picking out birdsnets.

You compare entry and exit points of the hooks that have been in your hand with other people that fish.

You shovel the snow in your driveway in waders and Aquaskinz and the smell makes you grin

You almost DREAD the fall run coming because you know it will be over WAY TOO SOON
