You go to back your truck into the driveway and you do it backwards because you are used to backing it up with your trailer attached!!

I've done this like 5 times in the last month!!!

Late winter when you start referring to the wife as "the big girl" this is followed by "how the couch".

You set the hook in your sleep and yell, "It's a BIG ONE!!"

Then you get kicked out of bed and sent to the couch because your wife is thinking you're braggin' about size again."

everytime I turn a corner, either in a car, my van, my girlfriends car, I ALWAYS make a VERY wide turn....

She always ask me why I am turning into the middle of the road....

Just used to pulling the boat....

When your wife refers to your boat as "your wife"

When your sunburn/tan line on your face reveals a white forehead, white skin around your eyes, and the rest is dark red or tan...

You still have a faint white line on each side of your head from your sunglass arms, even though its December

Or how about having your girlfriend breakup with you because you decide to go for the net rather than listen to her complain about how you fish too much... lol!! hahaha!

Here's IlliniVandy's fish that he hooked as I was arguing with my girlfriend (now ex)...

argggh so many

when u can make 10 leaders in about 30 minutes with NO sore fingers.

when your dad, who taught you to fish, and got you into fishing tells u "enough is enough George" LOL

when you DO turn too wide with the truck and DONT have to look in the passenger mirror to see if the trailer tire will clear the curb.

when your thumbnail has a noticeable divit from checking hooks

when SHE realizes that if SHE gets a job at the new sportsmans warehouse, SHE will be saving YINS money cuz of the 20% discount, being that u'd have bought it at list price anyway!!!! thanx honey!!! MWAH!!!best Christmas present ever, ol'lady gets a job at an outdoor retailer!!!!!

when all your hooks are sharp, baits organized, reels maintained, rods oiled and hanging up and the plaster and paint in the foyer is falling away cuz of the gutter problem you didnt have time to fix during down time this year.

when you have to steal rock salt for the steps and sidewalk from the salt box or from work cuz you dont have any leftover money to buy 5.00 worth due to the bait trade board, ebay and the kly auction.

ur daughter runs around with her muskie baby from muskyhunter yelling "Muckie, Muckie, a BOAT, A BOAT!!!!"

and finally
said 2 year old daughter still picks up baits, gets "bit" by hooks and doesn't even flinch.

its only been 18 months for me with these stupid fish. i figure by the time reagan is 18, she'll have had lead poisoning from holding too many baits, musky knuckle by the age of 4, hooked me 7 times while fishing and hopefully caught her first musky by 8 years old.

When you go to Bible study or Sunday school and when asked "Does anyone have a praise report?" you show them pictures of your most recent musky. Especially bad when you're the teacher!

I can't park in a normal stall anymore...I'm so used to having a boat on the truck, I always park in the back of the lot taking up 4 spaces.

Also, when heading north with no boat on the truck, I always find myself checking my rearview and side mirrors every 2 minutes to see how the boat is doing....its a habit now. I dated a woman recently who asked me..." John, what are you worried about?"....I'm like "Nothing Julie, Why?", she said..."You keep checking your mirrors like there's a cop behind you."

esox50,
I know exactly what you mean about the gf thing. One of mine told me I was spending more time on the water than with her and my response was; "I'm a loyal guy, I've known my boat longer than I've known you and I don't want to hurt her feelings."

When you pick backlashes in your sleep and wake up thinking you actually were on the water because it seems so real.

Ulbian,

lol! I told her before we started dating, "Nothing comes between me and my fishing. Nothing." Needless to say, the decision that day to go for the net was pretty easy...

When you can make up a QS rig while driving to the launch...

When you decline a job offer because it's not located near waters that have muskies.

When you know where every rod/lure catalog is in your messy dorm room, but have no clue where your school books are or even what ones you have.

You have more baits, reels, line, leaders on your desk than school work.

Instead of studying for you mid term exam you are sharpening hooks.

Baits are hung dangerously about your loft waiting for their next drunk victim to wander in and put their hand through it.

You have pictures of your fish on your desk instead of pictures of your family/girlfriend.

LMAO, what's wrong with having pictures of fish on your desk?

When I wanna see what my family looks like I'll go visit them.

I was trout fishing with my kid in 2004 and was 8-ing the little spinner next to the boat.
He gave me a hard time about it until I got one on the second turn.

He asked me the other day, "Dad, what do you want for Christmas? You already have enough baits......."

We both got a good laugh from that one. m
