I went to Academy to buy my son some new running shoes. Came out with shoes and $200 worth of tackle. I told myself I wasn't going to even go near the fishing section. I have a problem.

You sure do have a problem! Why are you buying running shoes?

Definitely not for me...For my son. He logs about 50-60 miles a week. He ratted me out as soon as we walked in the house, "Mom, Dad bought like $200 worth of fishing stuff."

Man I did the samething to day but I didn't get ratted out.

happens to the best of us bro

only $200, you got off easy haha

I think there are support groups out there, I just never cared to find one.

I think it is an addiction.

Trick is to send the kids to "run get me a bag of green pumpkin senko's" and cash out while they are gone... That way they feel no need to rat you out because they didn't see the total.

If a support group is started, what kind of beer would be necessary to deal with these issues?

I have a tournament this weekend. So, I'm being very thoughtful and painting the utility room this evening.

We could have a support group outing... at the coast. I need new stuff for that though...

That would be the last pair of anything i bought him!

That is a dangerous store with how they cleverly place all the fishing tackle near the gun counter and all. Sometimes I feel like a sucker when leaving but I really think it's an underlying addiction. I am sure there is a name for this syndrome????

I think your son needs a grounding.
