"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Are you a fishaholic?
Paul Quinnett gives these sure signs:
Does your spouse ever complain that you are fishing too much?
Do you have difficulty limiting your fishing to certain times of the day or to certain places?
Do you claim that you can stop fishing any time you want to?
Do you sometimes feel guilty about fishing?
Do you ever fish before noon?
Have you ever been told you have a fishing problem?
Do you often wish you could keep fishing after your friends say they have had enough?
Have you ever sought help about you fishing? From a guide, for example?
Do you keep a fishing rod stashed in a secret place so that you can go fishing whenever you really need to?
Have you ever lied about your fishing? Are you lying now?
Give yourself one point for every "yes" answer. If you scored between four and seven on this test, you're a middle-stage fishaholic. If you scored more than seven, you're a late-stage fishaholic and should consider a self-help program like Fishaholics Anonymous.
But of course you won't.
"Pavlov's Trout"
Paul Quinnett
I'm a borderline late-stager myself. This past week fishing with Mikey didn't help.......
