You stay out all night drinking at BOTL, get 2 hours of sleep then get up and fish for 14 more hours without catching a thing and still can't wait to do it again next year.

You might be a musky nut if you spend half the night in the hospital with chest pain, left side neck and face stiffness, then numbness, EKG, chest x-ray, iv, nobody knows what is wrong and your musky fishing the next morning.

If you take one week of your precious vacation in October, without your wife, to chase "a wet Minnesota fatty that you just can't wait to get your hands on"

If you've got more money invested in your equipment than your last 3 cars were worth

If you go out to your boat once a day just so you can remember what they're supposed to smell like

If your wife is happy when you "stick another one".

You might be a Musky Nut if...

... one forearm is bigger than the other... and it's not because you've been date'n "Rosie"

... you come out of the basement and cry, "I broke my Hawg Wobbler!" ... and no one is concerned...

... "Poppa Chubby" has dual meanings for you...

... you can say "big girl" and "suck on it!" and your wife or girlfriend doesn't even flinch...

If you can leave your wife at home for the weekend, and when you return, she expects your hands to smell like fish.....or you're in trouble!!!

There are three things that smell like fish......and one of 'em is fish.

If you let your dog pee in the boat cause the fish are "on" and you don't have time to take him to shore.

if you fish 28 years then break fitty,

if you respond to the question, "how was the weather fishing today?" with: it was cold, rainy, the wind was pounding, not a glimpse of sunshine; dang, I hope tomorrow's this good!

if you've ever been shown the difference between a shady moon and a rat belly.

You know approx total money spent
for muskie fishing gear
from one fish to the next,
and the numbers for most fish
are in the hundreds and
sometimes thousands of dollars.

...You go fishin' with your Wally buddies and they never see you until past dark
...Your livewell has the best view a portapotty could have
...Your fingers bleed like a sieve just from touching your lures hooks-and you giggle about it
...Your die hard wally fishing buddies who have even more tackle than you call you crazy
...You break ice to launch your boat and break ice to get to a spot
...You care less about your boats hull than losing a prized lure caught on shallow rocks with 2+ footers pounding in
...You fish Leech Lake for over sixteen total days in the past 4 years and have only seen 1 fish and you can't wait to get back
...You drive all your friends from fishing with you
...If they fish with you they cry like a little girl after only 6hrs and its not even 11 am
...Any weather is good Musky weather and you will wax on and on about how you hooked 45+ on a similar blistering sunny 98
degree, dead calm and the humidity about 90% day around 3 o'clock and it's only 10am. Quit your complaining, so what if you
got sensitive skin and may burst into flames - were in a boat on a godda#m lake - jump in. Or cool - snowstorm !! and you see
Wis. deer hunters in blaze orange pointing at you, then quickly head into their cabin.

You are about to lose your job and the only phrase you can muster at the Ranger dealer is "where do I sign?"

You've put 25+ muskies in the boat during a year....... in Iowa

You drive six hours after work to be putting your boat in by midnight on MN opener, fish 14 hours, then drive home.

You store baits in 25 cubic foot truck boxes(Jonesi)......

You're Weagle looks like an overcooked hot dog.....

You fish baits you hate for hours on end on principle....."I'm going to make it work!!!"

Your Triple D lip breaks off so you turn it into a jerkbait.....

You've thought about tying bucktails with remnants of shedded dog hair.......

You've thought about tying bucktails with remnants of your hair....After a haircut you ask "Can I keep that?"

You whisper to your unborn child, "Muuuussk-y, muuuussk-y" in hopes it will be their first word

You keep driving to boat launches hoping to find one that is not frozen.

You have over 100 positive buyer responses on ebay.

The people at rollie and helen's know your face just from shopping there.

You will bust your butt getting your vehicle running just to drive 2.5 hours so you can spend only 30 minutes at a musky show before you have to leave.

....you spend 3 weeks painting countless baits a new color for a (hopefully) 5 day fishing trip because that is what caught your last fish.

....your on MuskieFIRST at 11pm at night writing about being a Musky Nut when you should be sleeping.
....27 others freaks are here too.

.....one of the first questions you ask someone you meet is if they fish musky.

.....if they say no, your next question is: Do you want to learn?

.....if they don't get musky fishing, you just know you will never have time to get to them very well.

.....unproductive days at work before a fishing trip equal the days you will be fishing.

....you don't hunt at all anymore.

.....you don't understand how anyone can hunt anymore.

.....your "otherfish" tackle has 1" of dust on it.

.....you sell all your "otherfish" tackle, but can't seem to part with that 10 year old musky bait you've never thrown.

.....the rafters in your basement look like Rollie & Helen's and that's not even the stuf you use.

....you only sign off of MuskyFIRST when the wife starts yelling.

.....opps....gotta go

You might be a musky nut if....

your reading an article in a magazine and has an excerpt like the one below.......and has nothing to do with sex!

"Sometimes you can get her really fired up by just twitching it slightly in her face. Particularly the really fat girls like it slow with a little side to side, just enough so they can lazily grab it...."

Oh yeah! Who's your daddy!
