You might be a fisherman if....

Thought these were pretty good. They can be modified for salmon/steelhead too.

You Might Be A Fisherman, If ---

You have a power worm dangling from you rear
view mirror because you think it makes a good air freshener.

You wedding party has to tie the tin cans to the back of your boat.

You call your boat "Sweetheart" and your wife "Skeeter."

The local tackle shop has your credit card number on file.

You keep a flipping stick by your favorite chair to change the TV channels with.

You get 40-to-Life because your teenager asked
you to buy a Jet Ski.

You named your black lab "Mercury" and your cat "Evinrude".

Bass Pro Shop has a private line and operator just for you.

You honeymooned on Lake Okeechobee - ALONE.

You have your name painted on a parking space at the Eastland Creek launch ramp.

You have a photo of your 10-lb. bass and your 40 lb. salmon on your desk at work instead of your family.

You consider Vienna sausages and crackers a complete dining experience.

You think MEGABYTES means a great day fishing.

You send your kid off to school the first day with his shoes tied in a Palomar knot.

Your wife wears green lipstick so you'll kiss her more.

You think there are four seasons - Pre-spawn, Spawn, Post spawn and Hunting.

Your $30,000 boat's trailer needs tires, so you "borrow" the ones off your trailer house.

Your wife tells you she is feeling "frisky"; but, you don't know what she means until she explains she wants to spawn.

You trade your wife's car for a smaller vehicle so your boat will fit in the garage.

Your kids know it's Saturday - because the boat is gone.

Your rain suit costs more than the rest of your clothes put together.

Your boat trailer is welded to the hitch on the truck.

Every time you get into the truck, you look for the kill switch before the key.

You know that 'walking-the-dog' doesn't require a leash, nor a dog.

The Parks Commission gives you a 100% attendance certificate for weekends at the boat ramp.

when you dont know if its you or the bait that smells worse...

when you look at your new boat and think... hmmm if only it were two more feet longer...

you find yourself talking to the river... come on baby come on... just let one fish swim by.... come on baby just one...

[jocose]

It's true. I have no sense of humor. The prospect of choosing between my wife and fishing is frightening to me, not funny. Can you picture me looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife, looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife, looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife, looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife, looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife, looking at my fishing rod, then looking at my wife,

then smoke coming from my ears, a nervous twitch starting to develop......

Nope. Not funny at all. The antithesis of funny. Absolutely humorless. A truly grim situation. Not good. Despair sets in. I need to see my therapist now.

[img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] i knew you were ok hb now lets continue the jokes... fish on man and bring the family.. :grin:

[Chromaflage]

....when your wife runs a hook through her finger while cleaning the drier lint trap
....when you don't have a decent pair of jeans to wear, as they all are stained with fish blood
....when you emtpy your tool box into a carboard box so you have something to put tackle in for tomorrow's fishing trip
....when your kids show you EVERYTHING in Fred Meyer that has a fish print on it
....when you receive in the mail an average of 2 catalogs per week from Cabela's

ORS

[jokester]

-- when you cancel & re-schedule the same dentist appointment 4 times because it keeps falling on a day that you decide to go fishing :grin:

-- when your idea of shopping for the neccessities involves a trip to either Sportsman's Warehouse, Fisherman's Marine, or GI Joes or possibly all three

[happybrew]

It's truly amazing how many of these I identify with.

happybrew

[ampersat]

when in the course of regular life you find yourself looking at things around you and saying to yourself one of these two things:
- hang a couple of hooks on that and i'll bet it would catch fish
- i could use that to tie jigs or flies

[Lil' Corkie]

Ha Ha, jokester, those are soo funny. [img]graemlins/stupid.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

[freespool]

When you know WD40 comes in a gallon can.
When trips to the coast involve a tide book.
When Cabela's sends you the hard back catalog.

Free

[finclipped]

Your rain suit cost more than your work suit.
Your freezer is full of bait, not food.
Most of your valuables are kept in the garage.
You have a $30,000 boat and $3,000 pickup.
Your visa card says "Cabela's" on it for the fishing gear rebate.
You own six steak knives, and 20 fillet knives-but only use one.
You have old vacuum packers for "parts."

[Seefood Man]

when you think a hooker is someone that catches alot of fish :tongue:

[Old MAn River]

You wake up trying to set the hook? :blush:

[Tillamook Born]

Hey,
I was actually thinking this while I was participating in this activity the other night. You know your a fisherman when you tie up leaders while sitting on the toilet because it saves time.
