Too much?!?!?
Thats exactly what I was thinking!
Ok, so you have the hot bait, you have to buy 4 more for back-ups but you nurse the original until it is paintless in which you send it off to get repainted

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | You stand still on solid ground and it feels like your rocking back and forth in the waves. BTW, I love that feeling, it's the feeling of a good day/week/month/lifetime! There is no such thing as to much time, but there is such thing as not enough fish...

Location: Crystal Lake, IL | When the only reason you stop fishing with a storm approaching is when your rod starts to hum from the electricity... |
|
| |
|
| . . . you are on a date and drop your keys in the parking lot and instinctively reach up to turn on your head lamp because you are so used to it being welded to your head whenever it's dark out.
. . . you take all your turns wide while driving and also back into all parking spaces and driveways whether or not the boat is actually hooked up or not.
. . . you keep your toothbrush in the glove box of your boat so you get a couple extra minutes of fishing and/or sleep depending on the day
. . . you wake up at 4:00 AM in the bottom of your boat with 30 mosquito's on your face as your alarm clock
. . . the boat ramp is empty when you arrive and empty when you leave
These all happen a little often for me:)

| When you are out on the water with your buddy and in the distance you see a funeral procession go by. You immediately take off you hat and stop casting until it passes. Your buddy looks at you in awe and says he is very impressed and says he has never seen you be so respectful. You respond by saying..."it was the least I could do, I was married to her for 35 years." |

I catch coho and browns in the figure 8 on Southern Lake Michigan all the time. Started doing it as habit from musky fishing, but it turns out an 8 will trigger them as well. |

Location: Minnesota | You know you spend too much time fishing when you wake up on your wedding day and the first thought is where you're going to fish instead of the other event happening that day. The wedding was at 4:00 and it only takes me 30 seconds to do my hair. Might as well go fishing.
You know you spend too much time fishing when you make your 1 year wedding anniversary forever memorable by putting a 7/0 treble through your toe and making your wife cry because you were too stupid to wear shoes in the boat.

Location: Maple Grove, MN | You remember the exact number of Northerns and Muskies over 40 inches that you have caught, but can't remember your own children's birthdays.
You can't sleep well for two weeks after losing a big Muskie. But you don't even take a picture of a state record Smallmouth Bass before releasing it.
You spend two months of physical therapy rahabbing your shoulder so you can throw Muskie lures again - and you injured your shoulder fighting a big Muskie in the first place.
Is there something wrong with this picture? I hate looking in the mirror sometimes..... |

Location: Ontario, Canada | When you tell your soon to be wife to change the wedding date because it falls on the muskie opening date, and you will not be at the wedding otherwise.
I should also say my wife of 26-yrs (I think it's been that long) was/is a fishing gal,
and when I told her of the wedding date problem (not for me, but for her), she did say sorry that she let the important date slip her mind.
Also, you know you spend to much fishing when:
You got the girl in your bed room for the first time and you pull out your large styrofoam cooler of muskie baits to impress her. She did say years later that after seeing my muskie bait(s) that she knew I was the guy for her.
Well, I guess I can throw a couple more in. My wife says that you know you spend to much muskie fishing when:
A portable toilet in the boat, and a good reel/rod is more important than an engagement ring.
You know you spend to much fishing when:
You will not stop fishing so the female in the boat can go ashore for a few moments, or when you start to see that most times she is using the portable you get a muskie on, so you start trying to talk her into drinking an exorbitant amount of fluids to keep her on the portable because your casting to hooking a muskie ratio might go up.

You know what's funny? My wedding date was on April 28th of this year and we moved it because I had a Muskie tournament I was fishing in that day. |

How about when your pregnant wife's in the boat with you, but you ask her to hold it for another 30 minutes because you're in the middle of a major.
That one didn't make me too popular. |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | In me younger days I'd fish myself into a frazzle. I carried a coleman stove, coffe pot, eggs , bacon in the cooler along with some bread and lunchmeat just so I did not have to go to land. I once woke up in my sleeping bag on the floor of my boat with about 3 " of rain water on the floor. The bag weighed in around 400 lbs or so. It was sunny when I woke up! Ah...those were the days! |
