Clues to the Identity of the Bait Monkey

[Guest the_muddy_man]

Hey Fellas Lets look at the EVIDENCE; the bait monkey will

cause you to spend money you can't afford

make you take a second job, in order to afford it

make a grown man go shopping

make a man go to the LAY A WAY SECTION

causes irrestible urges that must be fufilled

makes you take a life long commitment to supporting it

OH OH THE BAIT MONKEY IS A GIRL!!!!!!!!

[RiskKid.]

Hey Muddy......Shadcranker and I went to BPS Saturday. He was helping me out with stuff I'm gonna need this year. At the checkout I was convinced he was the baitmonkey. Now that you've discovered its a girl I think he must just be a real close relative.  

BTW Shadcranker is new to the forum and is a good friend of mine. He's a great guy and will add alot, he knows his stuff and is a card carrying member of the Shimano Posse. He just really likes seeing his buddies spend money on fishing stuff  ;D

Yea thats what I am talking bout I used to only buy on line but I have taken to going to the Cabela's in Hamburg PA a little too much as well as any Walmart i pass this is getting disgusting At least i go to power tools to make it look right though

[KU_Bassmaster.]

When you go to Cabela's to "look around", you leave your wallet in the car so the bait monkey has no chance.  50% of the time, somehow it finds out, and makes you go back to your car to get the wallet and buy something.  BTW - If you try to hop in the car and drive away, he will shoot!!!!

[bait__Monkey]

Excuse me Mr Mud? Aisle 6,.....see you there.

"leave the wallet in the car"

Cause it's sooooo far away,.lmao

You guys are toooooo funny.

 Shopping, double YUCK!! My wife can spend the whole day shopping by looking and thinking about things she picks up, knowing that 3/4 of the stuff she doesn't need and couldn't or wouldn't wear. Ever!

 To me shopping is like search and destroy missions (even Bass Pro). You know your objective before going in, complete said objective and then GET OUT with as few casualties as possible. In the case of me and Bass Pro, with Mr. Monkey bouncing up and down on my shoulder screaming LOOK AT THIS , LOOK AT THAT, DUDE YOU CAN"T DO WITHOUT THIS or EVERYONE ON THE FORUM IS TALKING THESE!!!!!

                                                             As Ever,

Do something stoopid and you will exit the store with a lot more than that 3 gal gas tank you were looking for.

Been there done that.  :

You still talking about that wild adventure for the 2k dollar gas tank. ;D

That was a rough one.

I think The Bait Monkey is disquished as a vetenarian, holed up south of the border, claiming to be a Mexican national. He weaves his evil magic through the internet, preying on the weak, turning wants into needs. Money is no object, he spends yours at will. You cannot escape, you're only hope is to minimize the damage.

[Siebert Outdoors]

That does make good sense Roadwarrior.  This vet.  came up with the baitmonkey,  has distributed and advertised his name, and post pictures of very expensive tackle on his stainless steel victim table.  I think the central command center is based out of Mexico and there is a whole baitmonkey terror network throughout the US and Canada.  We must be at threat level green pumpkin all the times.  This terror code is as follows

Low  white

Medium  chartreuse

High  watermelon

Dangerously adicting,  Green pumpkin

[roadwarrior]

He controls North America, all of Canada and the United States; has established a strong foothold in Japan and Western Europe including the island nations in the Mediterranian Sea; recently spotted in South Africa and Australia.

Beware! His influence is spreading worldwide.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

He is even going after the Canadian water reseve I saw him with a tee shirt that said

 DRINK CANADA DRY

Baitmonkey (bate-mon-key) Baicium Munkus

1. A terrible primate who devoted his existance to tormenting fishermen with a unrelentless urge to buy more fishing stuff. He is native to nearly every body of water, tackle shop, and tackle selling websites. His diet consists mainly of cash, mastercard, check and often gift cards. I human who has fallen victom to this beast will start showing signs of severe addiction to fishing in general, tackle, rods, reels, boats, and anything fishing related. This illness worsens over time, and the victom will start wrapping rods, pouring their own baits, melting their own jigs, and buying more fishing related products than they can afford. After the sickness completely takes control of the fishermans mind, It is nearly inpossible to recover. If seperated from his fishing or fishing tackle, the person will show signs of depression. During the winter when fishing is difficult and/or inpossible, a devastating illness called "Cabin Fever-giteus" will accur and can only be stopped by fishing. Often well fishing in the icy waters, fishermen will drown, get frostbiten, and suffer from another illness know as "being skunked", and this is how the Baitmonkey claims most of his victom's lives.

I dont see anything about it's gender, so I guess we will have to go with muddy's sudjestion and usume the baitmonkey is female.
