Signs you have been bitten hard by the Striper bug

Signs you have been bitten by the Striper bug
Your waders cost more than your new suit
You answer the phone with your online handle
Your basement resembles the bottom floor at Cabelas
You have converted the wifes clothes hamper into a live well
The bar is now a rod and lure building station
You have been given at least one billy Bass as a gift
You start getting soap and cologne as secret santa gifts
You own a freezer that nobody else will go near
You store 6 kinds of bait in the fridge
The phone message says." Hi, you have reached the residence of
Bilgepump Bob, Im unable to answer the phone because
Im down at the dock". Please leave a message or call back in July".
The dog cant get enough of your dirty boxers
The wife wont let you use her washing machine for your fishing clothes.

I seem to recall a thread I started last year when you said "You Might be a Striper Addict if you dig a pond in your yard for keeping fresh bait" Eerrr, well something along those lines....

I forgot to ask you about an update on that Jeff. :)

I'd say it's when u choose bait and fishing gear instead of food for the month.....I do that ....Ramen noodles!!

LOL Ramen is good stuff....but the update on the Pond we fished too much and never even started digging it.....guess thats another sign huh? Making plans and never completing them because you're too busy soaking a line....
