You actually think that "Salmonella" is a fairy tale about a girl that had to stay home on opening day and clean the house while her evil stepmother and stepsisters went fishing.

You own more rods and reels than pairs of shoes.

You ask car dealers if they have any dirt colored vehicles.

You spend more money on tackle than food because you figure you're gonna catch something to eat.

Sleep deprivation becomes a way of life 'cause you fish so much.

...when you buy clothes you have to make sure it will fit in with the river surroundings
...When you tell your wife that there is no christmas bonus this year so you can spend the bonus money for gear.
...When you spend more time fishing then you work

Gutz, it's not very PC, but in many steelheading circles "Ike" and "Tina" refer to a buck and hen with Holy Grail proportions.

On another note, my woman was reading through this thread and after burst out in laughter. She then reminded me of the time, two years ago, when she and I were riding in my car and got rear-ended by a truck. She razzed me that before I even asked if she was okay, I was out trying to pry the trunk open to see if my Loomis rods were alright...A sign of a "true fisherman" she said.

Thanks Kevin!!!
How's about when your father in-law calls and asks your wife what you want for Christmas and she tells him you want your own refrigerator. (reason being last nights left overs already smell bad to you and need to be thrown out...to make room for your bait)
Or, you cure 50 pounds of eggs in your bath tub using a wet brine and Kendaco RED bait dye. Turning a yellow tub to pink.
Both true stories!!

Hohwaiian you bring to mind a true incident which happened a few years ago on Hwy. 101.

A person whom I know but haven't seen in awhile slid off the road and lodged his vehicle on the only tree on the newly logged slope. After extracting his former fishing partner, who by the way was frozen with fear,
climbed back down to the car...yep you guessed it to remove his fishing gear. He told me later how embarresed he was when the EMT's chewed him out for doing it.

When your wife gives you a new Steelhead/salmon rod for your birthday without a reel.....then says $_____!!! for a reel! By the way it's a Orvis TL108 Trident rod and I am going for the CFO V Saltwater reel for it!! I am going to be a happy camper when it comes in at the Orvis Store.
This is a true story and I love my wife as this is the second fly rod she had bought for me, and the first one had a reel!!!

When you find a secret spot on the river in a beautiful canyon which is protected by a pack of horny sasquatches who repeatedly rape you but you don't care because the fishin' is just so damn good there!

Whoever said that Sasquatches were gentle and caring creatures has got it all wrong.

Those things can be really rough sometimes!

When you get married on a month that doesn't have any strong runs, so future anniversary vacations won't ruin a possible fishing expedition.

In my case,when every speeding ticket you've ever gotten has been early in the morning on the way to the boat launch or fishing hole.

When your truck has the faint aroma of rotten chum and old neoprene, so you buy a airfreshner every week to swing from the gear shift.

Kore, close, but how about getting married and then making your honey-moon a road trip up 101 from Oregon up around the Olympic Peninsula. Of coarse planning all your nightly stops in strategic fishing areas.
Thats what I did. Could never imagine a greater wife though. She puts up with a lot.
Loves to fish has gone on hunts with me and works in AK with me in the summer living in a tent for 2 and 1/2 months. OH, and I almost forgot to mention, she gets up at "o" dark thirty with me in the morning and shuttles my rig for me too.

When you convince your wife that going flyfishing in Montana would be a way to celebrate your honeymoon. Also a true story.

Funny, johnny. I didn't see your post.
