| You Might be a Musky Nut....
1. If you hang lures on your Christmas tree as ornaments.
2. If you make a necklace out of split rings.
3. If your idea of a good present is an oversized lure for the wall.
4. If your first successful catch and release changed your life more than the night you lost your virginity.
5. If your always hauling around 12" of wood and aren't afraid to show it to anyone.
6. If you use 80 pound Tuff-Line as a belt.
7. If your child has a Reef Hawg in place of a rubber ducky for the bathtub.
8. If you test out lures in your hot tub in January!
9. If at work you spend more time on Musky websites than working.
10. If your girlfriend asks you to pull out your Tallywacker and you head for the tacklebox.
11. If your on the lake in 20mph wind and 3ft waves, and your wondering why nobody is fishing on such a great day.
12. If you refer to Muskies as "Fish" (i.e. "saw three fish today") as if there are no other species that swims.
13. If your favorite color is "firetiger".
14. If your credit card bill looks like a who's who of tackle dealers, marinas, lodges, restaurants and gas stations.
15. If you find that every day of the week you are wearing something to do with Muskies.
16. If you named your kids or pets Jake, Ernie, Bobbie, Eddie, Teddy, Burt.
17. If the last three books you read were Muskies on the Shield, Crankbait Secrets and Top 50 Muskie Lakes.
18. If your idea of bed time reading is a lake map.
19. If your lucky Muskie fishing shirt is only 25% percent of what it used to be and you still insist on wearing it.
20. If someone calls you a jerk and your first reaction is thinking "suick" then wonder how the "fish" are biting.

| The season where I live is pretty much done now. I was already in the garage hanging out in my boat trying to find ways to pass the time until next season starts. Way to long to wait. |

| - Your wife yells at you in the morning for waking her up saying "there's one!"! and setting the hook in your sleep
- You get angry at the alarm clock because you had a good one on
- You unintentionally do figure 8's when you're bass/walleye fishing
- No matter where you are, when you see the moon on the horizon you immediately wonder if the fish are biting
- On really windy days you think about whether your favorite spots would be fishable or not
- You have more pictures of fish in your office than you do of your family
- You have a dedicated closet or drawers in your dresser for fishing clothes
- The guys at Rollies know you by name
- there is more than one thing in your house that you've fixed with braid or split rings
- You name your lures, but can't remember the names of your friends kids
- A figure 8 has nothing to do with ice skating
- A window has nothing to do with a house
- a saddle has nothing to do with a horse
- a jackpot has nothing to do with winning money
- A hog/pig is not made of pork
- you regularly notice changes in wind direction, frontal boundaries, low/high pressure systems, and you are not a weatherman
- You've ever spent an entire evening sharpening hooks
- You've ever bought a lure and later discovered that you already have one just like it
- You've ever casted somewhere where there is no water

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | I would gather all my destroyed bucktails throw them in a box and every winter I would see if I could straighten the wire out....right! Cut it and remake the bucktail. So then I had the wire loop ends in a pile I always thought what an expression of a Muskie Nut it would be to make a necklace out of all those SS wire loops. I took a pile and put them in a safe place then about every two three years I would take the pile and put it in something and put that in a safe place. Now I have a nice pile again. If I only knew where I had put any of those other piles I could make that necklace!! |

Location: Lincoln, NE | - On the phone with my dad and he's decorating the Christmas tree with musky lures the same time as my sister's doing the same thing in another town
- The keychain to my 68 Camaro is a #10 bucktail blade
- Sister's dog is going to get his name engraved on a bucktail blade as a nametag
- We're going to go to the football field on Christmas and bomb cast our topwaters on the snow
- As mentioned above I get back from a Musky trip and found myself figure 8ing beetle spins for crappie at my grandpas pit
- After a month of bluebird days I am literally peeed off I'm at my buddies wedding cause it's overcast on a Saturday for once
- The receptionist at the front desk is starting to think I'm weird cause I get so many lures delivered to my office during tax season
- 80,000 Husker fans downtown wearing red and I'm rockin a light blue St. Croix Hoodie getting the evil eye
- Use a hook sharpener to touch up darts that bounce out and hit the cement
- My cousin, sister, and I call ourselves the Three Muskyteers
- We use the Westcoast W gang sign to show M E W (Musky Eats Walleye) to our walleye fishing friends.
- Our only good Musky lake in Nebraska is 5 hrs away and most of the time we cant stay all weekend or get an expensive cabin every time so we do day trips. Leave at 4am and drive all night to hit the water at sunrise, fish 16 hrs til dark living off energy drinks, hydrocodone, and Don Juan Gut Bomb burritos, then drive back home and get back at 4am....sometimes after a nightshift. Then when grandpa asks when's the fish fry we say we only caught one....and let it go.
- When your buddy wants to catch a 25" walleye to mount and you tell him the only time you'd mount a walleye would be as a belt around a 55"x25" musky
- When you've slept more nights in the boat than in a cabin so you can wake up on the best spot at sunrise
- When you've filled an entire bathtub in the winter just to test out a new lure |

Location: Minnetonka | - You spent Halloween night chasing big girls.
- You're genuinely jealous of people who experience barometric pressure change headaches.
- You talk about raising fish so often that people think you own a muskie farm. |
