*Steps up to fictional podium and clears her throat*
Hello everyone, thank you for being brave enough to come to this topic today. We range from all walks of life, have different viewpoints and yet we share something in common.
We love to fish, like a lot, it's a fact. That's why we are gathered here today. Addiction to Fishing is a real disease and should not be taken lightly! So we are gathered here to speak about your particular 'poison' when it comes to fishing.
For example: I am a huge overachiever and don't like to back down without fight. I am talking about the days when you are casting over and over, moving locations, switching rigs, lures, bait, rods and reels, hell even rebraided your spool with a different color braid because you think it might help. You get so frustrated that by this point you start to think about attaching your knife to a stick and stabbing minnows to death, just to have the satisfaction of CATCHING SOMETHING!
That and the freaking sun. It GOES DOWN too quickly and you have to leave for home, but if you could just throw a few more lines out maybe you can hit paydirt. Then it's suddenly pitch black outside and you have to pack up everything in the dark because like an idiot, you forgot a flashlight because you should have been gone hours ago WITH A FEW FREAKING FISH!!
Anyway, that is my rediculousness out there for everyone to see, will you share yours?

Hard to share when you just wrote my story. And here I thought it was the wife looking over my shoulder.
Much better said than my hunt and pecking.

I use a tablet as my computer and use a speech to text app. But yeah, I think it is a common problem with almost everyone, lol.
Another big one is my extreme lack of patience, I can't just sit and chill when my line is in the water, I am getting better about it though 🙄
Oh and always packing too much gear, I have a outdoor wagon that I stash all my crap in, and promptly forget where everything is. Fishing addiction is hard.

speech to text app.
It doesn't print what I say all to often.
Spellcheck is the devil.

Welcome aboard Jess. Your rant is familiar territory. While I enjoy being at the beach, I need the occasional reward by catching something. As I'm wrapping up the current fishing episode, I'm already thinking about the next one. Unfortunately I work which usually leaves me with just weekends for fishing. That's when I run into my "honey do" list - you know - mow the lawn, paint a room, fix something or other. If I could get my wife to adopt fishing as a hobby, my biggest problem would be solved.

She can't convince me to sleep on the couch.
Sometimes second place is better.
Wouldn't be the first time I lost something to a Female.
