Do You Fish Too Much?

I think some of us can relate to at least 15 of these!

#1 - You do not go fishing for two weeks and local baitshops start sending " Get well soon " cards.

#2 - The garbage man leaves you death threats in summer.

#3- No one in the family blinks at bait stored in the refrigerator.

#4- When asked the time of day - you respond with " one hour until high tide ".

#5 - You recognize almost every boat you see while driving over the bay bridge - at night.

#6 - You can identify the make and model of a reel - just by hearing the drag clicker.

#7 - When the in laws ask how your baby is doing - you reply - I just waxed her - then realize they did not ask about your boat - but their new grandchild.

#8 - You can not remember your SS number or truck license tag but can recall from memory over 100 GPS waypoints.

#9- Your boat mechanic is first on your speed dial of your cell phone.

#10 - There are at least seven fishing lures in your pick up truck and more then likely one hanging from rear view mirror.

#11- You can recite every line from the movie " Jaws ".

#12 - You already have all the winter fishing flea market dates on your 2011 calendar.

#13 - Your truck's rear license tag has so many dents in it - it appears to be from another state.

#14 - You have been late to at least three weddings - your own included - due to " one more cast ".

#15 - You have called in sick to work - while fighting a fish - at least three times.

#16 - Even though you'll never buy fish from the super market - you still check out the fish for sale.

#17 - You are banned - for life - from every marine aquarium in the USA and most pet stores that sell live fish.

#18 - You still feel sad driving by the old " Boater's World " store fronts.

#19 - You'll miss work due to one inch snowfall but will shovel 6 inches to launch the boat.

#20 - You are convinced the weatherman is a sick , twisted golfer who screws up the forecast on purpose - just to mess with fishermen.

#21 - You go on a vacation cruise liner and bring an 80 lb trolling set up - just in case.

no kidding

Mine is upset because I went again yesterday ...

I was home and cleaned up to go out to dinner before she came home, but she saw fresh filets in the fridge (why'd I keep fish?).

Keep the filets in the boat fridge or the garage beer fridge next time Ross

In MD waters, you'd better have the fish carcass on board if you have filets on board. Otherwise you could be fined big time...

Good one... didn't think of that. But since it takes approx. 12 - 16 hours to to freeze flesh you might be OK if it's found frozen solid.
