More to add:

1) you search on tacklewarehouse.com every 2 hours to see if the baits you want have come in yet

2) the check out gal at Super Target thinks you're queer for buying nail polish so often

3) You inspect every pack of paper clips you see in every store, looking for that perfect paper clip for that one bait's stinger hook

4) Your girlfriend/wife knows not to mention the lakes you fish, how you fish, your baits, etc to random people you encounter

5) You can pretend to be a trout fisherman without hesitation, who is getting ready to take his 3 daughters with terminal cancer fishing, while talking to Fish&Game or other people who might be in the know about trout stockings or similar juicy information
