| I realize that most musky fisherman are obsessive compulsive, but when is it time to seek professional treatment? MUSKY FISHING CONSUMES ME!!!!
For example, I'm on my honeymoon in Bermuda and my new bride and I awake to a warm, overcast, day with a slight drizzle. My first comments..... "Man what a perfect day for muskie fishing. I bet they'd be going nuts today". You can guess the look on my wife's face.
Is this normal behavior that should be accepted by society?

| perfectly normal, Jlong. But you better patch things up with the misses. Otherwise she may look for ways to keep you from going fishing like mowing the lawn, repainting the house, adding a new room to the house, ... Remember: we are sane, the rest isn't! [;)] [:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] |

|
| Perfectly NORMAL! Same thing w/ hunting...riding down the road + thinking what a spot for a deer funnel etc...hence the reason for the sponge babe driving 99@ of the time....I plan to go so far as to schedule a dentist appointment, have me teeth filed to a sharp point + catching me own food in the river below the house....now I just lay in the floor next to the table + lunge at the plate when she brings it by....[:sun:] |

| It is very normal. Just be consistant, always react to that weather the same. She will eventually accept it.
Most importantly, find the time to be just as consumed with your wife and her interests as you are with muskie fishing!
This will pay enormous dividends over time!![;)] [:bigsmile:] |

|
| It is COMPLETELY normal for addicts like me.[8)] |
|
| |
|
| I must be desperate for help, sign me up for first in line with the schrink.
Here's the deal, you know when your doing the deed they say to think of football or car racing to keep your mind busy well I'm picturing the perfect back bay. I guess I am ok till it don't work anymore. [:p] |

| jlong,
As the song says, "We're all some kind of junkie".
There could a lot worse things to wake up to than thoughts of muskies!! [:knockout:]
Count your blessings. |
|
| |
|
| Jlong, you are not toally addicted. There is one thing that seems to draw you out of the chat room.[;)] When that fails maybe then it's time![:devil:] |
|
| |
|
| When you sit up in your bed at night and yell out "Got em".
My wife caught me doing that once....I must be insane![:bigsmile:] |

|
| How bad do you think it is when you propose to your future wife with a bucktail?

| Don't worry, my wife knows I'm beyond repair. We've been married six years now and looks like we will go the distance. Besides, she has no problem keeping me busy. Last weekend I built my boys a giant swing set and playhouse. This weekend I began building a deck for the house. Hopefully I can get the project list knocked off before musky season opens!!!!
I still think I should go back to school for psychiatry and start my own muskyaholic clinic. Put it somewhere in the Midwest and I'd be a rich man!!! |

|
| No way Jason! You'd go broke in 6 months...none of us wants help![;)] [:sun:] |

|
| Jason, we all know the only reason you would start a muskyaholic clinic is so you could pick other musky fishermans brains in a clinical manner. Just like we have talked about in the past a Muskies Anonymous would never work. Could you see a group of musky nuts getting together sharing stories in the hopes of becoming less obsessed. By the end of the meeting a group outing would most likely be planned.
Nail a Pig!

| You got that right Sponge man! Sure we are all insane, but that's what makes us musky fisherman. If we wanted to be sane and civilized, we would be fishing for trout. Nothing but baitfish I say.[:devil:] Jason, by the way if you do start that shrink business let me know. I'll send my wife there so maybe you can explain to her where all my money and thoughts go. |

|
| Wait until you try the I am just going out fishing for a few hours on one your your childs birthday's or you tell your wife that you need to go tourny fishing on her B-day. you can get away with comments but be careful after that.
