When you agree to your wedding day (mid-October) based on the honeymoon being in January.
Buying a house in proximity to prime fishing grounds.
Working for companies that pay less than if you travelled to the city....but you can always go scout the water.
Not eating lunch but instead going to see the same old stuff at the local tackle shops.
Having more back up gear, brand new in storage than gear you actually use.
Having more line in different Lbs. and makes than you will use in a lifetime...because you might need them.
Researching carry tubs and customizing them for your 15 mi. ride to the nearest beach with 300 plugs in it.....not to mention the 3 bags, 3 pouches which are full and loose plugs hanging off the customized plastic around the tub.
Dedicating a whole garage to your fishing equipment and buying a large storage shack for the stuff "that just doesn't fit in the garage"
Losing your space in bed to your 4 year old because "you are fishing daddy".
Not knowing what you have and getting very happy when you find it.
Explaining to the wife, she needs to drive her old car but you need to buy a 35K vehicle (4X4) because you need to be able to get back & forth from work in all conditions.
Buying 5 new rods and 7 new reels, new $1,000 kayak (not to mention everything else that I can't now remember) this year alone but not having the time to use them...and knowing it when you buy them.
No...no, no, no....I am okay, I don't need any help, thank you....but like a lot of us....I don't spend my money on booze & other women.....the wife appreciates that
Mike, you have brought everyones non-problems to the forefront with this thread.
