The thought has me baffled?

Me too, including 3 others. Man I need to get a job to take up my free time.

My brothers home brew as he is a brew master. Cant pass up free 5 gallon kegs of beer to go in my kegorator and chewing snuss. Am going to be down to one habit shortly as there is a new grahm on the way and I always told myself I would quite chewing once I had a kid. So I think the bet pool is up to around 1000.00 so I think it is more than worth it to quite. Oh yeah plus the homemade hooch that I know a few of you members have drank on the snoopy rod classic last year. Got an order in for next year guys. Ready to claim some more victims. HAHAHA!!!!

Boy you would think that I would know how to spell my last name(Graham) must of been my brothers beer!!

I ment $1.85 when I seen that I made the typo you already posted so to late to edit...2nd bad habit I never proof my ttyyppiinngg

Stubborness...

It seems the worse the catching is, the longer I will stay. I'm more likely to get home at a reasonable hour if I slay them. If the bite is slow, I focus more, eat and drink less, and fish harder.

My wife doesnt get it!

I can't seem to stop a lot of bad habits I have related to fishin'...

I thought this thread was going to be about setting the hook too quick on a surface take or not replacing the leader often enough type stuff. Another one is not lubricating the knot when tightening up.

Fishin' and dippin'. Nice to see I'm not alone.

The worst habit I have gotten into is lifting that full cooler out of the boat no matter how many fish it has in it. You'd think after 2 torn rotator cuffs I would learn

Aunty, that's the time-tested tradition of pi$$ing up a fish. Usually occurs shortly after the other time-tested tradition of toasting the fish gods

That of course reminds me of a story of a day out at Washaway Beach when I for some reason had the hot hand and was slowly filling the boat with big kings for everybody. We had of course been toasting the fish gods religiously. This was resulting in a lot of pi$$ing up of the next fish, which of course hit while I was doing exactly that. It was rainy, windy, and rough and I had just lowered my rainpants when the fish hit. I grabbed my rod (the one with the fish on it) and attempted to run across the deck to get my line around the motor when the fish ran under the boat almost immediately. I tripped on my raingear, and also probably from a combination of rough water, wet deck, and too much fish god toasting, and as I fell on my face my rod (the one with the fish on it) left my hands and went flying over the side Well, my buddy Mike, who was at the motor and hadn't yet reeled in, quickly wrapped his line around my rod (the one with the fish on it) as it went streaking by, managed to snag it, haul it aboard, and handed it to me. I landed that king too. Which resulted in extra fish god toasting, extra fish pi$$ing, and it all kind of degereated from there

I've started to develope a habit of having a cigar when I go on overnight fishing trips. Then I have to explain to my kids that "it's just one cigar" when they start on me about bad habits. (my kids are 10 and 13 and love to point out my bad habits). I only smoke cigars on fishing trips.
