| A post on the 2nd page refers to M1st fisherman as something I had never heard before...and I am getting a complex here, call it a phobia developing....this might be a full blown psychosis soon if I don't recieve medical attention soon or AT LEAST some feedback from some members here!
I hate to re-open a can of worms, but this has got me up not sleeping....am I a BUBBA?
As one of the few Jews in the muskie world, CAN i be a Bubba?
If I am a Bubba...what are the tell-tale signs of Bubba-ness?
Is it cureable?
If I have this Bubba-idis....can I pass it on to fishing partners?
Or is this an ailment passed on through contact of bodily fluids?
Should I alert the girlfriend?
Can she become infected with the Midwest Bubba Virus?
If I have this Condition known as BUBBA TYPE I....AND I am lucky enough to survive, will I ever truly recover?
If Bubba-itis Muskytitis is truly what I have contracted; what precautions should I use to avoid further infections in the future?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Slamr
*please don't let me twist in the wind too long....have smoked 8 cigarrettes while writing this, and I'm almost out of smokes!
**going to smoke my big fat fingers one by one soon.

| Slamr,
I will hopefully come to the rescue.
-NO, there is no such thing as a bubba. Even if you were not Jewish there are very few Musky fishermen that can be considered a true BUBBA. In other species BUBBA syndrome affects a vast majority.
In all honesty, loving a sport is not a Bubba issue. My lake life and off-lake life are two extremes (although in my off-lake life I think about my lake life). And everyone in my off-lake life knows of my true love for my lake life and it hasn't hurt my social life. So no Bubba is not the issue, as far as not sleeping and bodily fluids you might want to see a doctor. [:bigsmile:] Hope I helped.

| Slamr, Bubbas are big goons, generally from the south. Well, seeing that most musky fisherman are of small stature and you are not, well you are the closest thing to a "Bubba" on this site. Sorry dood, had to break the bad news.[:devil:] | |

| First of all, a BUBBA struggles w/ spelling the adjective "DUDE", which can also be viewed as verbage if the "dude" is in an action setting. This places Mr. Todd in the uppermost ranking![;)]
The closest thing to "BUBBA" in the New Webster's Dictionary is the word "BUBO", which is described as a lymphatic swelling of the glands in the groin or armpit. This is also associated w/ the dreaded "Bubonic Plague", the black death of the 14th century.
A new malady in the midwest, aptly termed the "BUBA-ONIC Plague, has made great strides in eradicating intelligence in its victims; as of yet Slamr you have shown none of the symtoms commonly associated w/ this disease! A daily intake of grits, hot sauce + a 2 oz. serving of saltfish are proven methods of prevention, hence the high levels of G.E.D. scores in the southern areas of the country. I'll let you know if I detect the early warning signs + send you an antidote packet.... [:sun:] | |

B afrayd..b vary vary afrayd!!! [:p] | |

| This is a controversial topic, and the answers seem to vary by geographic location.
Around here, "bubbas" typically have very shiny, glittery boats, with 350h.p. outboards on them that sit very low to the water. Most of them have several thousand dollars worth of depth finders and electronics on them, although they never seem to fish deeper than 5 feet. They use these boats to motor around the lake 15 feet from shore "flippin'" smelly plastic things at the bank with $800 rod/reel combos. More often than not, they fish on the weekends, but only Sunday mornings and evenings, so as not to miss a minute of "the race". They believe that because they spent $50,000 on their boats that they are somehow better anglers, and better people in general, than anyone who does not own the prototypical sparkly boat, or $1000 worth of smelly plastic.
Often the rest of the fishing fraternity, such as Muskie nuts, and walleye guys, even perch-jerkers, are lumped into the bubba category by those not in the know.
Slamr, as far as what you are to do, don't fret. You are not bubba material. If you do find yourself curious, and want to see how the other side lives, proper procedure is to notify the wife, but not the girlfriend.

Should I Be Concerned?
