I'm guilty of about 99 % of the stuff that has been mentioned here. ESP. driving 6 hours by myself to fish 8 hours by myself. What a great sport !!! ManitouDan |

You know the difference between Slamr and SLammer
You have been married at least twice, and didn't know you weren't anymore
Your Left arm is nearly twice the size of your Right
You speak in terms of swirls and follows.
You think of muskies as often as the opposite sex
You suddenly jerk wildly while sleeping at night 'setting the hook'
When "got my first one in--- always, ALWAYS refers to a legal Muskie
Your vacation calendar says--LOTW July, second week. NW Angle AUgust, second week Ottowa (YES!!!) Second week September--and nowhere mentions Disney or Vegas
When a good day to you is any day one the water
If you answer ANY question from Cady on MuskieFIRST ( wait...no, then you are just lain nuts)

| If 30 days on the water was considered a year that you SANDBAGGED a contest...
If you realize that all your friends now fish Muskies....and the others, you just have really nothing to say to them....
If you see a front coming in, and start hustling for excuses to get out of work......
If you'll come in to work 2 heartbeats away from death, so that you dont have to take a sick day.....
If you find yourself "fondling your baits" when you can't get out on the water....
If you try and try to think of MUSKIE things to do after hard water has descended.....
If being called a "good stick" doesnt sound weird when another man tells you this....
If a pair of work shoes, that you will wear 5 days out of the week sounds like a bad investment vs. a 8'6" rod which will now be rod #6....

Location: Racine, Wi | If you wake up every morning during the winter and stare at the baits hanging on the pegboard, just waiting for the ice to clear.
If you plan your wedding around opening day, summer, fall, and any tournaments held before the WI opening day. 
You speed up on the freeway, just because the truck that passed you had a muskie inc sticker on it, and you want to find out who it is.
you take the prop nuts off of speed boats at night, when the owners cheerfully sleep dreaming of making wakes for fisherman.

| You are stuck in LA so you search the internet for someplace in the Chicago area that has Mepps Musky Marabous in stock and then nicely ask (beg) your ex wife to pick up 4 specific color patterns (Black/Gold, Black/Silver, White Silver, and Firetiger) for your upcoming trip to Sioux Lookout Ontario.
You immediately sharpen the hooks on every new musky bait you bring home! |

You immediately sharpen the hooks on every new musky bait you bring home!
HaHa, That's me. Here is a tip..Keep an extra hook file in the junk drawer in the kitchen ; )
Thumb nail always hacked up from testing hooks
Even consider fishing on the bow hunting opener
Make sure your 3yr old can tell a Musky and a Pike apart
Take perfectly good lures and completly re-Paint them
Make some of the most ubsurd looking home made baits that actually work
Buy a 2000 ft spool of 80lb mono to make 6 inch leaders with
Secretly cast Muskie lures when you get stuck "bass" fishing with in-laws
Get subscriptions to Musky mags despite high cost and low volume of issues
Spend more on one lure than most fisherman spend on a rod/reel combo
Setting hooks in your sleep and hurting wife
Tossing and turning all night before opener and still feel fine all day
