I don't think we've done this in a while; so, for the new guys:

"You know you're a carp angler when..." <complete the sentence>

...you go grocery shopping with your wife and she buys food for the family while you buy food for the fishies.

(Guilty as charged, as of last Sunday).

.. you almost get into a wreck while driving passed a new body of water and can't help but scope the banks for enough space to set up your gear...

you dont anderstand why people look at you in a funny way when you walk around a supermarket with 300 eggs in the car

You have a ring tone on your phone that sounds like a bite alarm screaming.

.........when your finger smells like fish

you dont care if the home team makes the super bowl . your still going carping

Definitely not a buffalo. It lacks the barbels...

When you catch 40 catfish in a night and are peed off about it.

You order pizza with toppings carp would eat

you dogpile fly fishing forum poll...using whats wrong with hair rigs & winter bait

thats funny there richard

when your rainsuit, car, and clothes smell like sour bait

you leave the feed store with 500lbs of deer corn, calf manna and range cubes and no intention of feeding any of it to livestock.

when you go to a salad bar and think more about what would make good bait for carp than what would taste good to you.

when your WIFE goes grocery shopping and she brings YOU back all the ingredients for your method mix without you even asking for them!!!!! (my wife does this at least 4 times a month and sometimes if she sees that im running short on something in the pantry and she makes a special trip to store just to get what I need)

That's a keeper!

yea shes good to me!!!!

when your kids catch a bigger carp than you and laugh at you and all you can do is laugh with them

been there, done that, got pics!!!!

hey chad does that me she keeps you stocked up on glow sticks too ?

... When you fish for Carp for 3 years without catching one and don't quit.

And the winner is!!!.... Dustin

ROFL. Yay! I da winner!

You know you're a Carp Angler when you have Fishing gear inside your truck that is worth more than the truck itself.

You know you're a Carp Angler when you give your wife Scopex Perfume.

Chad

Yeah a women wearing scopex perfume..thats realy hot

"You know you're a Carp Angler when you give your wife Scopex Perfume."

Thats just plain wrong, Chad! lol

Come on brian it does not have to be your own wife!

you know your a extreame carp angler when your planning a trip 6 days after your back from the hospital.

Great chris make it a good one

When your wife uses your last can of sweet corn for dinner and it irratates you bass

...when your kids have gotten sick of you saying, "Who wants to eat some carp bait?" when you're having sweet corn for dinner.

You smile as you walk by the Niblets !

when you want to sleep in the back yard in your new bivy in the rain just to make sure it's waterproof

you have the number to BCT set on speed dial.

you have BCT set as your home page.

you have cabinets, in your kitchen, dedicated strictly for bait.

you call your living room the bivvy.

you mistakenly wash your pants with boilies in your pocket and you dont want to rewash because it will wash away the smell.

are you telling off on yourself jason.

You could become rich with that, dude!!

........when you finally realize the desirability of the perfectly HORIZONTAL reel and rod.

(nothing says carp purist like a bank of horizontal rods!)

...when you have Chad's boilie rap as your ringtone.

...when you total your car and don't feel bad, because it didn't hold all of your gear anyway.

...when you move into a new apartment and have more carp fishing gear than furniture.



All things I have been guilty of at some point...

hehehe

As I am pulling the rod-bag out of my mangled car...

Cop: "Don't feel bad. It's just a car. I know people get attached to their cars, but they can be replaced."

Me: "I don't feel bad about the car. It didn't hold all of my fishing gear."

Ah, the look on his face was priceless.

...when you shop for a new compact car and worry about whether you can fit your rod bag into it.

It would be fun to start one of these threads in the catfish or bass sections and read some of their one-liners.

When you hold a eulogy for an "arrowed" carp.............and start searching for a Hit Man!

when you save your first catch to use as a paper weight!

he was only about 2 lbs but fought like a 20

Bubba, that is sweet!

Does anybody still have a copy of The Boilie Rap?
I'm several Phones remved from it. lol

Chad

i might not sure thou

I think I do on my phone. If I have it, I'll send it to you, Chad.

Sent it to you, Chad. I keep my phone on silent a lot, so I forgot that it's my ringtone for fishing buddies.

thanks Krista/.......the owner's daughter of our company has had that @ there other warehouse for like 20 years and just brought it to me one day after seeing my pb carp as a background on my comp.@work....hehe......it's all hand carved!

I posted "You know you're a..." questions in the Bass and Catfish forums, too. Take a read; there's some funny stuff there:
