Fishing is the first thing you think about when you awake in the morning and the last thing you think about as you fall asleep:o)
If at random times you set the hook... and your not even fishing.
Threw my computer mouse across the room once.

...you run down to the dock to fish just after you get home from picking up your wife that has been away for a month and was on a 4 day pass.
lets just say it wasn't the best decision I have ever made.
lmao....
i am guilty of a few of these....
...when you get home from shopping and put everything "away" and throw away the boxes, bags, and receipts before the wife can notice.
(not to hide it, just so she doesn't have an excuse to go get that new pair of shoes!!)
...when you told the wife you were finished an hour ago and you're still on your last cast... ;D
You have a copy of the BPS catalog at home and another at work.
You check whatever forums you are in a couple of times a day when the boss isn't around.
You join the American Legion Post on the James River because they have a boat ramp.
You have asked out a 400lb divorcee with six kids because her ex husband left her a new Ranger Comanche with a 250 Yahama and a new F350 Ford truck.
You apply for a job at the local bass store without anyone telling you to get a job 8-)

Funny, I don't think I could live in a house without vaulted ceilings. Well, unless the heated garage had high walls. ;D
.......when you rig up your poles the night before and talk to your lures and tell them how well they're gonna do and how good they'll look to Mr.Bass.Go get 'em babies! ;D

I suppose you mean "a short fishing pole", not "a short fishing pole)...
if you don't care about anything besides fishing and everything else in the world doesn't matter to you except the lastest tackle deals.
You get a letter from Bass Pro Shops saying to come in and get a new rewards card because you were in the top 10% of there customers for 2007 and you didn't buy a thing from them until July when you got your boat. :-[
You spend your honeymoon at the camp fishing (did it just glad that she likes to fish)

Gotta be more specific. WE want BPS and Cabelas gift cards , the family would just screw up and buy stuff we dont want.

When you sneak out in the morning before your wife gives you her Honey Do list......
When your wife repeatedly asks you to delete Bassmasters off of the DVR because there is no more room for any other shows to record.
Anybody figured out how to get those things from DVR to VHS/ DVD? This is not a joke actually. >
This is some funny stuffv ;D. To answer the DVR to DVD question, its really easy if you have a DVD recorder. Here is a link.

If you have a new baby boy/girl and you're worried you might have to throw it back because it's outside the slot limit.
If your wife asks you to go grocery shopping and you go to Walmart and come home with milk, eggs, 2 fishin poles, trolling motor battery, fishin magazine and some new lures:)
.....you buy your wife and your mother-in-law a weekend spa on your wedding anniversary so you can run to Table Rock Lake with your brother and fish

Thanks TeamBerettaGold. I think my marriage will survive now! ;D
Just spent the last 4 hours on bassresource.com
You spend so much time in fishing stores and departments you can help the employess when a customer asks them where something is located.
A week later when back in the store, the employee asks you to help explain the difference between flouro and mono to a customer.
On my honeymoon 2 days at Disney 3 day at the BIG O ;D ;D Wife caught the biggest fish :
YOUR EX WIFE OWNS A 20' RANGER......& WANTS TO TAKE YOU FISHING...
instead of finishing your 8 page paper that is due at 2o'clock tomorrow, you keep going through the threads on bass resource.
...you are going on Spring break in Florida with your girlfriend and her family, and instead of spending with them, you are looking for someone to take you fishing.

now i have done that before, and employee asked me if wanted a job there after i helped the guy out.
You go fishing on your wifes due date with your first child.

I take it she didn't have the child on that day because I don't think you would still be alive.

Woh, I did this! The poor salmon sales guys didn't know jack about bass equipment. After I helped the customer out, he walked out with a Citica D and a Compre Rod. I even taught him how to cast as he was a bc virgin. Now how's that for salesmanship?
Quoteif the first date with your wife was bassfishing
You gotta make sure she can back the boat down the ramp before there is a second date!
Quote.....you hide new fishing tackle in your car so your wife can't see it. ;D
That's what those spare tire compartments are for. I seriously have stuffed them a couple of times. The trick is to leave out a small bag of stuff, because she knows you'll buy something. Little does she know that it's in BULK ;D
