Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 It seems that after 25 yrs of fishing, it's official and I have now entered the realm where my hobby starts to eat up the rest of my life. My car is now my tackle box on wheels and my garage has become a master tackle locker. I have 2 pairs of jeans, been out of paper towels, milk, and even sugar since early june ....but I'm saving up $500 to buy a megabass rod. Having Gore-tex has now surpassed water as a "life necessity" Norml behavior? I think not. I bet a psycho-therapist who specializes in obsessive-compulsive behavior would have a field day on this site!! Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted July 20, 2005 Super User Posted July 20, 2005 i'm in the same boat!!! ;D Quote
Nick_Barr Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 it comes with the territory ;D I too deal with this obsession. Quote
Muddpuppy Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Since we are about to enter into hunting season before long also, I wonder if will one theropist be enough or do I need two? You don't happen to know of any haveing a two obsesive disorders for the price of one special do you? Quote
playmaker47 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 hello my name is layne and i am addicted to fishing Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I've got it really bad.I've always fished AND hunted,but about four years ago I quit hunting and bass fish 12 months a year.Friends and family think I'm obsessed,also(they're right!).During Dec. and Jan. I have an 800 acre lake entirely to myself. Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 20, 2005 Super User Posted July 20, 2005 Oh wow, it took you 25 years !, it took about a week with me, my allowances were saved and spent partially on any tackle I could put my hands on. Yeh, I 've been a tackle junkie for many years now, so let 's say that the bug bit me 32 years ago, that doesn 't include other hobbies I have. Quote
texasbass1 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 So what makes you think that were not normal and the rest of the world needs the psychotherapist? Quote
CBedo Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Only thing that keeps me off of that plane is my girlfriend nagging me to clean up the garage, move my rods off of the dining room table, clean out the car, .............. Quote
texasbass1 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Get a different girl friend or train her to behave. Quote

flipping-pitching Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 I don't feel so bad now. My wife wanted to know why I don't ride with her anymore. All I could say was that I was going fishin'. It's like a drug. I'm highly addicted. I hope she can adjust, cause I'll sure miss her. Quote
