You know you're a hardcore fisherman when...

You stick to you guns and keep fishing plans in late May even though heavy rains and tornados hit the night before. The small lake you fish the next morning is up about 8 feet and SUPER MUDDY. You get blanked for 2 straight hours and decide to try another lake. While getting the boat out of the lake and off the property you get the trailer stuck in the mud. AAA comes out 2 hours later and you're back on the road. Drive 2+ hours to another lake where you know you'll find better conditions and water clarity. Fish for 5 hours and catch about 6 bass. AND, I still remember my best fish that day. Caught a scrappy 3 pounder on a Pop R!

You're a hardcore fisherman when you've read every single post on fishin.com - including all the UK / UofL ones.........

ur buddy doesn't invite you slong an the creeks around you are flooded so u go down to the barn an check sumthan out. you notice bats flyin around the lights so you decide to get the pole out with a crappie jig. came out with three that night/ hope not illegal.
when you throw a rock into a pond an fish through it. caught a small bass but got off on the ice. could not reach it. when someone tricks you an say they have bass in the pond by there house an you fish it. nothin but a wad of of toliet papers. i cut the line an went an took a bath. when you decide a small flood isn't goin to stop you an almost get swept over a dam after fallin in up river.
