You might be a fisherman, if...

[artcarney_agr]

My wife and I were moving, and while looking at houses I carried a tape measure with me. I would spend about 5 minutes looking at the inside of the house and about 15 in the garage measuring. Often, I would do this before looking in the house!

I'm trying to find a house myself right now...who cares about the house, I want a garage big enough for the boat, a couch, a kegerator, and a big screen so I can watch fishing shows and wax the boat or play with my tackle and stuff. As long as the house has a bed and kitchen, then that's good enough for me! Oh yeah, a bathroom helps, but it's optional...

You might be a fisherman if you have more than one boat, each for it's own "specific application": catfish/jugging boat, pond hopper, bass boat, stream boat/canoe

Yep!! You just might be a fisherman if you can relate, and or understand any and all of the above....... without doubt!! And I can't believe no one made mention of a major factor called the toilet paper in the baggie. Maybe it was too easy.

If you use the size of a crankbait to explain how big the open wound on your stomache is......

If you are close to death last week and now all you are really mad that FNF season will soon be upon us and you won't be apart of it for a while......

The last 2 houses you bought, the FIRST thing that was moved was your boat and all your fishing tackle into the garage so you know exactly how much room you have left for whatever was left and how much had to be sold in the garage sale.......

It's December, 34 degrees, sleet, snowing, raining, wind blowing about 20, sun so far behind the clouds it looks like night all day long, you are backing down the launch ramp at Dale with the biggest grin on your face and inside your head these words keep crossing your mind "It's Gonna Be a Good Day Tater".....

One Saturday in 2004 3am, breaking the ice off the boat cover, leave from Frankfort drive to Dale Hollow by myself, FNF all day long high blue skies with ZERO bites, take out at dark, drive back to Frankfort, watch the taped UK/UL basketball game (the one where UL fouls on the 3 pointer and UK takes a nice victory), get in bed at 10pm, frustrated that you had not caught one single fish, give your wife a kiss good night and then tell her that you are going back again (She says I am NUTS, I say I am dedicated), set your alarm for 2am, get up shower, hook up boat, break off ice from cover, drive to Dale Hollow, fish all Day until Dark with ZERO bites drive back home. A good 12 hours of travel time to and from, approximately 22 hours on the water with ZERO bites, maybe 8 hours sleep over 2 nights, easy $100 in gas money in truck and boat plus whatever else that I spent at the One Stop, ZERO BITES and could not wait to do it again the following weekend....TRUE STORY

I think that should say "Priceless" instead of TRUE STORY...kinda like the Mastercard commercial

Real men used leaves!

Until the real men get married and may have to explain the bale of hay that may end up in their shorts.

Good grief man! I'd hate to use hay, let alone a bale of it! Ouch! Ha ha ha!

I have a 2 car garage. It's perfect for the Boat, dirt bike, 4-wheeler, go-cart, and all of the Man-toys. You know how it is, don't want to leave these things outside the weather isn't good on them. Thanks for the ideas "artcarney" I'll have to look into getting a fridge and flat screen TV. Maybe surround sound so when I'm sitting in the boat it sounds realistic. We all will grow old, but I for one will never grow up! Just like a kid!

Heck yeah!

When I do get a house and MY garage, I believe I'll put the boat in nose first for the winter - that way I can sit on my pedestal seat and flip at a coffee can under my workbench while watching reruns of Hank Parker, UMF, and FLW. Heck, come spring time I'll be all practiced up and ready for the picnic table pattern when the water gets up!

You Guys are killing me! I have to admit I kept my sportbike in my living room, and I have always kept my fishing gear dry and warm and ready to go.
