Top 5 Signs You May Have a Fishing Problem

I came across this and thought it might add some levity to the board.

1) You cannot pass a body of water without wondering what species are in it. If you are in deep, you make a mental note of said body of water and google it as soon as you get home. If you are in an advanced state of fishing addiction you not only google the body of water, but you also head to the nearest fishing board to see if anyone has fished it

2) You spend more time in a fishing store than you do the grocery store. My personal issues are more exaggerated during the winter. I spend a lot of time watching and reading about fishing, any lure mentioned that I do not have or do not have in the right colour or size I need to get. You say I won’t be fishing the soft water for months, why now? Hey, take your logic somewhere else pal, I need that thingamabob today!

3) You watch more fishing video than you do regular TV or streaming. I mean sure I love Ted Lasso and the Walking Dead, but have you seen Lost Lakes Video on the Steel River? Lost Lakes YouTube I mean I gotta get into Wabakimi on a canoe trip, did you see the pike that the Northern Scavengers Crew got? Northern Scavengers YouTube. You say I have canoed twice in my life and never for more than 2 nights? See above and shove that logic up your keester dude!

4) You spend $1000's flying into remote area's to spend time in a cabin that was built a hundred years ago and if it didn't provide access to good fishing you would tear it apart on Trip Advisor (I mean if you went to Orlando or Niagara Falls and your room had no AC, water you can't drink and bunk beds would you be happy?) Not only that you are willing to drive many miles (or KM's for us Canadians) and hours to get to this shack in the woods. Man, you complain when it takes more that 15 minutes to get to the nearest Tim Hortons!

5) Even when you sleep you dream about fishing. Some of my dreams involve me catching huge fish, getting into remote lodges, or winning that bucket list fishing vacation but others are nightmares – a bear wakes me up in the cabin, the float plane crashes or worst of all I lose that 40-inch pike right at the boat

6)Your wife asks you to go with her to her work xmas party on a saturday afternoon and gives you a full months notice but you cancel at the last minute when you see the forecast and notice the wind and weather are both perfect so you go fishing instead.

May have a Fishing Problem.

1. When you are dreaming about hooking a 7 lb bass, and you wake up with a dislocated shoulder.

2. When you take over one of your kids rooms to store your fishing equipment, and you move your 8 yr old into the living room, to sleep on the pull out couch.

3. When your wedding anniversary falls on May 8th and you tell your wife you're not missing Walleye opening weekend with your fishing buddies.

4. When all of your friends are fishermen, and if you meet someone new, that doesn't fish, you soon forget their phone number.

Truth be known if you were drawn to the question with a hmmmm, like me you have an addiction. Hope you all had a good and Merry Christmas with a Happy New Year about to come in for a landing.

Your wife says she is taking your 18 month old daughter to the pediatric ER because she might have spinal meningitis and you decline the request to go along so that you can go with a buddy to buy a boat. If I sound heartless, the backstory is that my first wife was a nurse AND a hypochondriac. Long story short, I bought the boat, my daughter was perfectly healthy, and we have a great relationship.

6) When you are sent on a trip for your job and the first thing you think about are the great fishing spots you are going to hit on your free time.
