You may be addicted to bass fishing if ???!!! 2024
Bassnajr reply :
Hey all...
It's been a little tense on the boards here lately with everyone gearing up for, or starting their season, so I figured I'd throw out a fun thread. I am sure it's been posted in some form or another before, if so, here it is again:
You may be addicted to bass fishing if??? Here's mine to get it started.
You drive by a body of water (it could be a puddle, doesn't matter) and go over in your mind "Here's how I'd fish that!!" Cranking there, plastics there, OH!!! and a frog way back there!!!!!
Then your wife yells at you and tells you to "Watch the road!!!!"

You spend 50% of your time on this board and 50% of the time on the water. on BR + for bass = Bass Addict.
toolpush reply :
you tell your wife you dont have money for home repairs, remodels but you order that lure you just have to have that same day.
Tpayneful reply :
You look at traffic cones, wheel chairs, shelves and shopping carts and think that they would make great cover on the bottom of your lake!
brgbassmaster reply :
tell my wife that i cant buy the couch that she wants but went and bought a battery charger for my trollling motor battery.
go without buying groceries so that i can buy gas for the truck and boat. only buy food when needed.

Bassnbrett101 reply :
You may be addicted to bass fishing when:
1. When you're talking about fishing and someone overhears they give you a dirty look because they think you're talking about something sexual, and it happens often
2. The boat on your lawn costs more than your house did
3. You'd rather your wifes car sit outside than your boat and truck
4. Your fishing buddy's know more about you than your wife and/or girlfriend 
5. "The fish are biting" is a plausible excuse for being late to work
6. Your best friends are the ones you fish with
7. You can't even stop dreaming about bass fishing
8. When theres ice on the lake you and your friends break a big hole in it just to have enough room to cast a jerkbait or jig.
9. If you kept every fish you caught it would decimate lake populations
10. And if you pick your wife dependant on how much she complains about how much you go fishing!
Bass Smacker reply :
If you can tie a palmer knot faster than you can tie your shoes.
If you come home smelling like fish and the only question your wife ask is how many you cought.
If you buying house so you will have a place to park the boat you don't have yet...............YET :
If you set the hook in your sleep

Or in Tin's case, there doesn't even have to be water! He just looks at the land and says "Imagine if we flooded that?!" ;D That's hardcore.
Gatorbassman reply :
When your wife wakes up in the morning to find you gone, then checks the weather report to see where you are.
When your boat is always hooked to your tow vehicle because you have another car just for driving to work and around town.
When your garage resembles a tackle shop.
When the only thing people ever say to you is "How's the fishing?".

that was going to be my contribution! i find myself doing this constantly. driving by bodies of water and looking for structure and cover and thinking how i'd fish it.
my brother and i just took a road trip to toronto and at one point we had a river running parallel to the highway, and i kept looking over at it and finally my brother says "do you keep looking at that river?" and when i answered "yes" he said "because you're thinking about fishing, aren't you...." neither one of us could help but laugh when i sheepishly said "yeeeeeaaaaaah....."
fishizzle reply :
You buy a new house for its location adjacent to a lake over whether the house is suitable or not.
Your decision on buying a house is based on having a good spot to park your boat.
You are willing to drag a conoe 1.2 miles into the woods to a lake that may not have any fish.

toolpush reply :
you go to your area fishing report and weather page once or twice daily and your day's off are another 20 days away. if you look at your wifes honey do list trying to figure out how to get it done so it won't interfere with your day's off fishing trip, then spend your last day off trying to get it all done. ;D
guitarkid reply :
There is fishing more line on your floor than most small tackle shops have because you are learning new knots, respooling, picking backlashes,etc,etc,......

MaxDal reply :
-you have Bass Ressource as your homepage on your Internet Explorer. (all your RSS feeds are fishing related anyway)
-you've put so many fishing tackle manufacturers' stickers on your laptop that you can possibly mix it up with one of your tackleboxes.
-you've ever stopped on a emergency lane on a freeway to check a water retention pond... just to see if there was bass in it.
-you've ever gotten a special months-ahead schedule from your friends before the bass season starts.
-your sister's/daughter's goldfish got eaten by a bass you brought back home...... and you even thought that was cool !
-you have 10,000 pics of you with bass, but you just can't seem to find a normal without-fish picture of yourself.

John J. reply :
~You day dream during class/lectures about bass fishing and you doodle yourself catching a bass.
~You spend most of your time fiddling with bass gear rather then playing with the kids, spending time with spouse or doing school work.
~While riding or driving you look out of the window into the woods and try to imagine where the bass would be if the woods were flooded..."at the top of the trees? or near the trunk?"
~You believe the "Bait Monkey" is a real entity that forces you to buy lures.
Big Al reply :
When someone mentions the price of gas goin up, the first thing that comes to mind is how much it's gonna cost to fill up the boat.
And when you're walking around the house you catch random wiffs of garlic, anise, or a combination thereof.
XcoM274 reply :
You axe out a channel in the ice 20 inches down so you can cast and retrieve a lure through water.
You miss a hookset and feel the overwhelming urge to break something.
You've ever sheared a prop trying to get into that "perfect spot" and then were dumb enough to try again with the replacement.
daviscw reply :
I know for a fact I'm not addicted. Heck, I've quit thousands of times!
Sam reply :
When you plan your client meetings around local ponds to fish before or after the meetings.
bass wrangler569 reply :
If you total your truck on the way home from a fishing trip and the lost fishing gear costs more to replace than the truck does.
If you have ever gone to Bass Pro Shops to get fishing line and came home with a new boat
If you have put more miles on your boat than you have on your car
If you are on a first name basis with with three or more of the cashiers that work at the local Bass Pro Shops
fishing man reply :
you know when you are addicted to bass fishing when you are sixteen and have hormones, but think about fishing more than sex or girls.
you will only go out with girls who like to fish
your first date was on a lake fishing, and wile she was trying to be romantic and stuff all you want to do is fish.
people in school will come up to you and ask you to help them with deciding a reel, were to fish, help them cast a baitcaster, etc
if in the spring summer and fall you rarely have a girl friend because you are focused to much on fishing
get in trouble in math class because you were reading bass master when your suposed to be doing math.
and the sad thing is all those are about me and what i have done.

LAbail reply :
1. all anybody ever asks you around work/school is "how was fishing?"
2. If people that drive by the lake you fish at honk at you because they see you there just about everyday. (happens all the time)
3. if the people that live on the lake you fish no you're name and all about you.
4. If you're cell phone/camera is filled with only pictures of bass you catch
5. If every time you pass some water you pick it apart (even the same body of water like every morning)lol
6. If you've ever thought about quitting you're sport programs for more fishing time.

You tell you neighbor that your glad that their new in-ground swimming pool is linerless so you can test your new lures.
You miss a few days at the lake and the retired guys who are always there call to make sure your not dead.
When you ask your girls dad if you can marry her on the way home from a fishing trip.
When every family vacation growing up involved fishing.
When you break your shoulder so bad that they put you in a cast that covers your whole side and tell you no activity for 4 to 6 months. So you go home and rig your boat for trolling and hit the lake anyway.
