my wife sent me this list and suggested counseling.i told her the list wasn't anywhere near complete. what do you think?
- You can't drive by a body of water without looking for ambush points, schools of bait, or diving birds - While golfing, you look at the water hazards and think, "I wonder if there's fish in there?" - You meticulously organize, categorize, and re-organize the lures in your Plano cases, the same way you organized baseball cards when you were a kid - You show photos of fish you caught to everyone you know, even though you're pretty sure they could care less - When you close your eyes at night in bed, you immediately start dreaming about fighting big fish - You've misplaced hundreds of nail clippers (much to the chagrin of your wife) - Bass Pro Shop is your Toys R Us. - You're been on the water from 5:30a to 6p and forgot to eat all day - When you have guests in town, you secretly hope they want you to teach them to fish - Your DVR is full of fishing shows (and you still watch the reruns) - You're completely perplexed by boat owners that don't fish - You really would "rather be fishing"
i like #12 the best

I'm not obsessed. Just very dedicated. Man take a few granola bars or something with you. I do cause then i can fish longer. Cabela's count instead of BPS? More for the list; Fishing becomes first not "second nature" and You're kids learn to fish before going to kindergarden. I bet the doctor or who ever you are supposed to talk to will meet you at the lake to see what the "problem" isn't.
"Denial is the fisrt sign of a problem"
Awe dang, I'm obsessed. Hope i dont get over it.
"good luck to all,on or off the water." S-n-W may help you're odd's.
Fishing is not an addiction. It's a way of life.

Add this to the list...... When your good clothes have shad scales on them..... When the fish smell on your hands makes you happy...... When you buy every size of the same lure....... When you know more knots than family members b-days..... When you think "Viking burial" is they way you wanna go!
Def. Viking burial- when they load your body and all of your stuff on your boat and set it on fire out in the middle of the lake! Lol
it's the crapy days that make the good days that much better!!!

one of my personal favorites is sitting at my desk, working midweek, and looking down and noticing a shad scale stuck to my arm somewhere. (and knowing its been there for ~3 days...) brings back a memory of a fish caught, and good times on the H20 with my fishin pardners (most often, my kids). Incidentally, I intend to get more shad scales on me tomorrow bright and early. I also built a set of rodholders last night in the garage for my canoe. Speaking of which, if I build catfish rodholders for a boat (which I dont need...) that I only see twice a year at my dads lakehouse, where I already have "big" boat access. Does that mean I have a problem/aka am obsessed?
