1) True Story - You know you're an insane bass angler with it's a clear day for a crisp 22 degrees but you leave a warm bed anyway, head to the lake to go fishing and find that the pond is frozen over. Do you go home? No! You search for large, heavy rocks and toss them skyward to bust holes in the ice. Then you skip your tube bait across the ice and hope as it slides across the ice that it falls through one of the holes you made.

2) You oohhh and ahh more at pictures of JDM rods and reels than you do the models in the Victoria Secret catalog.

When you win a guided trip for winter steelhead and throw the certificate away because " you don't waste your time on those other trash fish. "

When you leave your six figure job in Wyoming and move to Lake Falcon and get a job with a yard maintenance company.

When you start a bass club in your pod while you serve 90 days in Jail for trespassing.

When you are arrested in Michigan for stalking Kevin VanDam.

When your Bass Pro Shop hat is stapled to your head.

When you take a whizz off the bow of the boat and that's when you are in line waiting to launch at the state park.

When you install a built to scale bow of a Ranger Z520 off your back yard deck for pitching practice. DON'T SMIRK..YOU KNOW YOU WANT ONE.

When your Hoveround Scooter is controlled by a foot pedal from a Minn Kota Fortrex.

When you marry the daughter of the LEWS regional rep to get a discount.

When you keep your Bass Pro Shop catalog in the fire safe.

When the 12yr. old down the street stops by and asks if he can buy a Deep Little N from your overstock and you ask him what color.

When you take the little lady fishing and she hooks you on her third cast, you cut the hook off at the split ring and continue fishing for the next 4hrs, drive 6hrs. to get home and then decide MAYBE you should go to the E.R. to have it removed instead of waiting until morning to have your fishing buddy take it out.

You stay up way to late so you can chat with other fishaholics on your fav sites.

When you need to set three alarms to awake up at 6:00 to go to work Monday-Friday, yet don't need any alarm to wake up at 4:00 on Saturday and go fishing.

-when you can tell what kind of boat it is from a mile away just by the paint scheme.

-When your son ask's to go to work with you one day an you take him out fishing.

-You go so crazy during the winter, your breaking the ice on the lake cause you have to be on the water.

-You have your kids hol a cup in several different spots, and try to pitch a jig in the cup.

This is so true! lol

[tugsandpulls]

when its snowing out and ur casting to any open spots on the water

[K_Mac]

Y'all are completely crazy, yet I have done many of the insane things mentioned. No one in their right mind goes fishing when it's too cold, too hot, too windy, too wet, too late, too early, too much rain, not enough rain, waters too high or too muddy, waters too low or too clear, and 3 pounds won the big tourney held yesterday...except us.

When your reel and rod eyelets keep icing up.

When you have to wear rain gear to stay dry and it ain't raining.

When there is so much wind, boat traffic, or both that standing on the deck requires gymnastic skills.

When it's 3:00 pm, 106 degrees, you've been fishing since 5:00 am, you've caught 1 dink, and instead of talking about a cool ride home it's what spot and technique to try next.
