Just count the good times not the money. When you are dead and gone no one will talk about how much money you had. They will speak of all the good times you had.

Return on investment: maybe $1,000 per oz. !!!!!
Lord sure am glad I'm even here to enjoy it though...
All my 'major' expenses spent last year so this year....don't see very much left to spend

A lot! Got a small bass tracker once its paid off in about a month it will have costs me 14-15K total. 2K on rods/reels. Probally 500-1000 per year on tackle. Gas/food/drinks a bunch. Heck you could even throw in my house 163K was bought on a mostly private 35 acre lake (bass/bream/crappie)plus another $600 for a canoe for to float the lake!

Wife understands...ish. She doesn't mind me fishing and at times encourges me to go out.

Not only the money we have spendt in the past, i already started spending
for 2015...

No hope for me..lol

tens of thousands

Gas, boat (a really crappy one), tackle, travel, tournaments, etc? At least 100 grand over the past decade.

I don't even want to think about how much I have spent over the years

Last year alone I spent over 18K just on new electronics, power poles and lets not forget that block rebuild and new lower unit. Hull repair ( I hate you Lake Ray Hubbard) you and your dang submerged stumps! That new Motorguide 108lbs thrust trolling motor and a good divorce lawyer!

I've spent my entire life and consider it a good investment.

you never ask a woman her age, you never ask a woman her weight, and you DEFINETLY never ask a man how much he spends or has spent on bass fishing...lock up the thread

You know come to think of it,for me,completely financing a third world country would be cheaper
