.....when your wife catches you studying the lake map for next week's tournament while you are on the crapper.

when you sit on the tff and read NINE pages of you know your a bass angler jokes

that too

You plan your honeymoon trip based on where the bass are biting. True story. and you agree to visit her family in Arkansas because they live next to a gtreay smallmouth lake. And darnit I am guilty of both.

when you floss your teeth with fishing line!

you raid the cookie jar and buy a used bass boat instead of fixing the roof damage from IKE

You TAKE camping gear to BassPro Shops!

Your "Charlie Brown" voice squeaks out..."It's gonna let up!" while 4 foot whitecaps thrash your boat!

The only place your "bass widow" wife's lawyer can reach you is the boat ramp....if he's lucky!

You REALLY DO want to be on the cover of HONEY HOLE MAGAZINE!

You learn to laugh like this: "HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!" when asked where you caught all those big bass!

You just KNOW the guy in the Skeeter Boat is trying to GPS your most sacred honey holes.......you just KNOW IT!!

You resent the owner of the boat dock with his hammer and nails because....he thinks he OWNS that boat dock!!

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!

I do that in the nieghbors pool!!

This thread made my day!!

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!

WHEN YOU DRIVE TWO HOURS TO WORK
SO YOU CAN LIVE ON THE LAKE ~!

Your terminal tackle is measured in TONNAGE!

Wifey's missing person report goes null and void when they find you fast asleep in a closed BassPro Shops at 2:AM!

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!

When you tell your state farm agent you will cancel your house, car and truck insurance if they don't lower your boat deductable

You have a duffel bag full of soft plastics and after lifting it someone asks you if their is a body in it?

When you load everything up for a tournament your boat loses 5 Mph

that only comes with age

When you drive all the way from Houston to Granbury to prefish for the TBF top 6 and you are satisfied with eliminating unproductive water.
