Complete this sentence:

"You know you're a bass angler when...."


We've had a lot of fun with similar threads on the Rough Fish and Catfish forums:

hahaha.

You drive down Highway 75 in Dallas see a exit sign "Monticello St." and start dosing off thinking about the hot water discharge...

When you will drink during work but not fishing because you need to concentrate. Pretty bad...

You spend over $2k a month in fishing expenses and dont even fish tournaments often...

When your in a meeting with clients and the first thing that pops up on your PC is the TFF website.

You can't remember what day your wife's birthday is on but yet you can remember the Bass Champs tournament dates.

When you bite the tip off your soft plastics just to make sure the scent is still impregnated in them lol...

When you spray the squeaking door hinges on your truck with Gulp Alive.........

When you have 25 Bass Pro bags in the bottom of your closet full of soft Plastics in your favorite colors and sized just to make sure they don't run out at Bass Pro lol.........

When you have 10 tackle boxes and tackle bags full of stuff AND KNOW EXACTLY where everything is........

luckily for me my GF passed all that with flying colors and is a pretty good stick...as long as it has a crankbait tied on, or a frog

TRUE STORY.
rolfmao I've done that and scared the wife!

Wife: What happened?
Me: Huh!
Wife: You jumped. Did you hear something?
Me: Huh? I set the hook.
Wife: Huh?
Me: I pitched a jig by a sweet stump with a laydown next to it and got a bite and set the hook. I'd a set it more gently if it wasn't a jig but you gotta really put it to the fish on a jig....
Wife: Bop! Go to sleep and no more dream fishing!

Great !!! I do this too but it wakes my wife up when I set the hook using a power worm(and it is always on a power worm in my dreams) and she always says "wake up your alarm has not even gone off yet and you are already fishing" !!
Life is great !!

..when your three year old son sees you come in with a shopping bag from bass pro, and he runs and gets his tackle box so you can divvy up the worms. <--happens every time. He just lets daddy 'hold onto' his crankbaits and such because of the hooks.

When you’re practicing pitching to the trees in your yard and the first thing that pops into your head is to stop and pause because you just made a perfect pitch. You just know something is going to hit it, before reeling it in for another pitch.

When a young man was buying a new truck and introduced me to his grandfather and I asked if he was his Co-Angler instead of his Co-signer.... I've done that on more than one occasion.

9. you drive 500 miles to go fishing but won't drive 10 miles to town because it is wasting gas.
8. the checker's at BPS know you by your first name.
7. your boat cost more than your house and truck put together.
6. you have more insurance on your boat than you have life insurance.
5. your tax deductions on your fishing is more than your kids.
4. your not at home, your wife knows exactly where your at.
3. you walk the dog and have no canines.
2. you know what the abbreviations for LMBV, KVD, C-Rig stand for.

When you get to work early just so you can check the weather conditions and lake levels for this weekend in peace......

If every Friday your kids ask you what time you have to leave in the morning because they just assume you have a tournament.....

When you ask off work for a non-fishing vacation and you get back and everyone asks you how many fish you caught.

When you take your shirt off at the beach and someone tells you from far away it looked like you still had a T-Shirt on because of your tan lines.

When you spend more time per week reading bassmasters, fishing books, and fishing websites than your text books.

When you have an exam tomorrow, but cant help getting on the TFF.

When you fall asleep watching classic patterns or the bass pros dvds in hopes to absorb some info while sleeping.

These are great

You know you're a bass angler when:

Kicknbass on your hands doesn't slow you down stuffing a sandwich or crackers in your mouth and you kinda enjoy it

When your hands are yellow on mondays from spike it

When your wife won't look at houses anymore until you say it will work with the boat

When you ask for days off and your boss asks you if you can bring him fillets before they approve or know your actually fishing

When you look at distance to lakes before distance to work before moving.

YOU KNOW YOUR A BASS ANGLER WHEN :

You find it hard too stop talking about Bass behavior too your friends at the bar...

You can't pass a pond on the highway without thinking.......I BET THERE'S ONE GOOD KEEPER IN THERE...

When your sitting in the bait shop.....THINKIN'.....What kinda line did i need....and for which reel.....hmmmmm...ooooohhhhh there's trick worms....

When your wife is sitting there talkin' about her day(Bills...etc..).....When you suddenly look outside too see it's a full moon.....and your out the door in 5 min's flat

Before you go into town you tell your wife too keep u away from the tackle shop.....and even though she kept you away from that tackle shop.....u stopped at the gas station cause they sell what you wanted anyway....



PLEASE SKIP THIS ONE IF YOUR NOT MATURE......SORRY MODS...HOPE I DIDNT CROSS THE LINE on this one.....(sorry if I did)















When your wife asked you during sex if it was wet enough for you and........your response was:........WELL I HAD MY RAIN GEAR ON....PLUS THE BASS WHRE BITING....SO I DIDNT MIND : )

You know you are a bass angler when you infant girl is in one arm and rod in other to "fish" with her and count your fish as hers...and when letting her touch the fish she gives it BIG KISS.

Happened yesterday with a little bass I caught with her. Very funny to see

#1 in a Google search ... do a search for "you know you are a bass angler when."

Sorry, nothing to do with bass fishing, but I thought is was humorous.

When you go to academy you call all your buds to see what they need so you finally know whats been working for them.

Siting in class trying to convince the pretty girl next to you to go fishing than the next class.

When you see an awesome boat and send a picture to your best friend tellin him you just got a new boat.

When your wife says "I wish you would take care of me like you do your boat"


When you give your wife earrings made out of small crank baits.


When you meet a fellow fisherman at the ramp and you are shocked to learn that he has never heard of the TFF.


When you practice pitching a jig inside the house because it is raining outside.

When you like the smell of power worms and now don't mind biting off the torn end to re-rig it.

I was dreaming about fishing one night, set the hook in my sleep, rolled out of the bed, hit my head on the nightstand and ended up with stitches over my right eye.

Your biology project in high school was anatomy of a largemouth bass. True story, I froze a 13" bass out of winnsboro lake in 1976 and come time to disect the fish, I unfroze it and took it to school. Biology teacher said he would give me an A if I would dispose of the fish. Which I gladly did.

Buck Fever grips you during a bass-driven swarm of surfacing shad...causing you to hook your partner in his IZOD, slip off your pedestal perch, upset your can of the newest yuppie cola, and fart twice before regaining composure! grin

You have used your swimming pool for casting practice and studying lure movement more times than you have been swimming in it.

You THOUGHT your 225 Merc was sufficient.....and then a Verado 300 makes a Hole-Shot that causes you to tremble like a "dog passing peach seeds"!

Back to the drawing board...back to the drawing board!

With trembling hands you lay out 40 bucks at dock-side for a Lucky Craft big lip diver in "Citron"...the only lure you are missing....and it is being touted as "the lure of the day" by beef-faced fishermen holding 5 baggers in excess of 35 pounds! grin

We've had a lot of fun with similar threads on the Rough Fish and Catfish forums:

so now it's the Bass forum's turn:

You know you're a bass angler when....

You put off registering for classes because you're researching a lake map for an upcoming tournament...

You put off homework to read TFF...

You work non stop year round and spend more on fishing than on tuition...

you know youre a bass angler when

have tanlines that only bassfisherman understand how it was possible

Smell like potato chips, b.o., fish, and suntan lotion.

Sell out to a product, just cause you get a couple free packs of worms;)

When your driving and see a hump or rockpile you pretend it was at the bottom of lake, and how many tourneys you'd win off it

Love something that you fail at nearly every cast.

You know your a bass angler when . . .

You run out of shower curtain hooks so you decide to use some old 40# Mono out of your fishing bag.
