You Know You're A Die-Hard Bass Fisherman When....

[Ratherbfishing]

You rang...??

That's great! What's even better is that after chrismas, you can sink the tree to attract fish.

[5 Dollar Fishing Game]

When someone says

"you are crazy to fish in this weather!"

[Christian M]

You know you're a die hard fisherman when you can't watch a movie or TV without looking at every lake, pond, river, or mud puddle on the screen and wonder where it is, and whether or not it holds fish. Then when you can't help but say something about it your girlfriend looks at you and says "really?!"

[ZooB]

1. When you get depressed when you drive to your best friends house everyday because you have to drive by a small lake that you know holds fish but you cant fish it because its juvenile only.

2. Its pouring down rain and you still go into your backyard and stand under the tree so you dont get TOO wet while practicing your flipping/pitching technique because you just got a new flipping rod and cant NOT try it!!!

3. You go to cabelas and see an item on sale that you have plenty of, but you still buy more, cause its on sale. Duh.

[Ratherbfishing]

You know you're NOT a die-hard bass fisherman if you mistake a Powerpole for either a Polish superhero or a new brand of a "male enhancement" product

[DBSULLY]

When you stock your swimming pool with local caught largemouth in the off season.

When you win bets telling people you can catch said bass out of your pool.

When you open up a bag of manns jelly worms and have to resist the urge to try one.

When you tear up a whole bag of swimmin' flukes catching bass, then attempt to melt them back together with a lighter to keep on fishing

Now this man is a diehard.

[Sam]

You went fishing on Thanksgiving and Christmas days and missed your family's dinners and party.

[Sam]

When you stand outside of the bathroom and flip and pitch into the toilet!!!

[Sam]

You order "pond size" crawfish from Louisiana Crawfish Company to stock your favorite pond and don't order any "eating size" mudbugs for yourself.

[Sam]

You have helped your wife through one back and three hip surgeries since April 24 and you put a guilt trip on her so she will order a new G. Loomis NRX rod for you for Christmas.

And she does!!!!!!

[Tuckahoe Joe]

When you stand outside of the bathroom and flip and pitch into the toilet!!!

Sounds like good practice but hopefully you don't accidently hook something.

[Ebrahim Ali]

when your bored at a shopping mall and start casting imaginary lures with an imaginary rod,then set the hook and proceed to reel in the fish and then hold it up for a picture

And people start pointing and staring and you take it as though you've caught lunker.

[piscicidal]

When you choose your vehicle service station because it has a nice pond on it full of bass...

And the service advisor of said station says you are the only one he has ever seen fish it because his other less brave (read: more sane) customers won't walk out in the waist deep grass for fear of water moccasins and alligators....

And you are standing out in waist deep weeds two days after Christmas in 52degree weather, staring at a 15mph wind casting pointers (with alligators/snakes surely at your feet) knowing you have virtually zero chance of getting a bite from cold intolerant florida bass in this weather.

[wademaster1]

When you put your truck in 4x4 and cut through a super muddy field between Christmas dinners just to fish for 30 min at the closest pond before leaving to go to the next family gathering. LOL And wearing your newly received jeans, hoodie and everything else for the first time. HAHAHA Yep, I did this.

[SirSnookalot]

Fishing about 340 days a year may qualify me to be die hard fisherman, I target many different species.

[roadwarrior]

You ignore tornado warnings, have fish swimming in your boat and endure 18" of rain!

[basshole8190]

when you have to bring your wifes hair dryer on the boat because the line on the spool of your baitcaster has frozen stiff in the below freezing air temps

When you feel the need to post on "You know you're a die-hard bass fisherman when..."

[JoePhish]

- When you go golfing and you hit the ball in or near the water just so you can get a better look at the "aquatic elements" of the course

- When you go golfing the next time you do the same thing but pull out a telescope rod just to make a few casts.

- Then the next time you go golfing you decide to go fishing instead.

- When you tell the real estate agent that you need to fish the local ponds before you can give her an answer.

- When you spend a rainy Saturday afternoon at Gander Mountain giving fishing advice and sales help to the snowbirds and tourists for no reason other than you were bored.

- You get depressed when you're on a tropical cruise because you can't throw out a trolling line.

- When you pass up morning sex for the early bite.

- When BassResource.com is your home page.

[Dwight Hottle]

When you carry a thermos of boiling water to melt the ice of your reels from the freezing spray.

When you carry a plastic snow shovel to clean out the snow in the boat.

When you have to shovel the ramp before launching.

When to show up in December with your wife to go musky fishing and the guide cancels the day because it's too brutal out there on the St Lawrence.

[BassnChris]

When your willing to take a dump off the back of the boat so you will not lose any fishing time.

You don't fish any lakes in Oklahoma do you?

[LgMouthGambler]

Did this today. When you pack all your fishing stuff before even touching clothes to pack for a weekend away.

[zip pow]

You don't fish any lakes in Oklahoma do you?
