You know you are hooked on fishing when you.

[FELLOW-SHIP]

Chances are all of us would rather be fishing right now. Instead we're typing and reading about it.

When you keep a live bait hook and spool of leader material in your desk to practice your snell knot while at work!

When you know NOAA weather phone by heart

When your garage has a bigger assortment of fishing gear than most tackle stores.

When you yell FISH ON during love making.

You use a gaff for a backscratcher.

You go to a fancy restaurant and read the fish selections and say, "caught that, caught that and never caught that" (and comment how expensive a simple filet of Mahi costs)

You go to your bait freezer just to check on them.

When you see a hottie on a boat and your more interested in the boat.

When you know EXACTLY when NOAA posts the weekend weather.

When you get a hook stuck in your hand and continue fishing.

When you still ponder heading out even when NOAA says SCA!

When you and your buddies skip school for a week to go to the islands.

When this happens to you and you pull it out after you push the barb thru the rest of your head ,cut it out and keep fishing,.



When you go into a tackle store to buy a sabiki rig and spend your rent money on a bunch of crap.

You work 5 days a week and put the paycheck straight in your boat gas tank.

You randomly think of ways to turn ordinary objects into trolling lures.

You drive over an hour to fish a certain bridge(that might not be legal to be on?), wear camo to not be seen by the police, sleep in your truck for two days straight because the snook are biting.. drive 8hrs. to the keys, fish all day, sleep on the flats boat, and drive back the next day.

You set up a trip for wednesday with a friend and have all rods ready on Sunday.

You get up at 330am to go fishing.

After spending 20 minutes rigging the perfect uni knot, you then go out back to the pool, turn on the pool lights and cast in to the pool studying the action of the rig.

Ha!! How about:

When you wake up from a great dream and your wife asks you what it was about and you answer "I was dreaming I had just finished the complete reconstruction of my boat and put her in the water for the first time to go sailfish hunting when a huge blue marlin hit the right rigger and..."

know you have an important meeting and instead of wearing a nice shirt and tie you wear your classic seacraft golf shirt !!!

when you bring your Penn 130's on a caribean cruise.
