| You very well could be a musky nut IF -- You claim to be friends with ,or ever fished with the hulbert bros (Hi Mike) -- you could be if you know more names of the individuals in the chip flowage tracking study than your aunts/uncles -- you could be if you can name more muskie guides than family members-----You claim you had a great day fishing without catching a darn thing because "you saw a biggin" . You for sure are if you can fish 14-16 hours a day (casting only) for a week solid and call it "vacation" . Oh I could go on and on and on -- My family knows I'm a musky nut !!!! 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 may be a Muskie Nut if:
You are reading this
Your favorite color listed in your personal profile at the Marriage Counselor is Holoform Perch
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)
[:praise:] |

| You might be a musky nut if when you talk about "her" to your buddies, you are talking about the big one that got away not your wife of girlfriend.

| If during the closed season you tie a dog bone to the end of your line and play tug of war with the dog just to get what feels like a fish fighting ( DOG FISHING )[;)] [:)]
|
|
| |
|
| 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....

| You recognize that musky fishing is like jungle sex; you don't realize utill afterword that you've injured yourself, and you never care because it's always worth it.[:p] |
|
| |
|
| You might be a musky nut if you just don't understand why people fish for perch, crappie, bass, etc....
if you get up at 5:00 a.m. fish 14 hours, eat at a gas station, stay up all night drinking, just to do it again, and you call that vacation.
