You know you date a fisherman when...

Spring is in the air, and so comes fishing season. This weekend, Dave, Juneau and I spent some time outside exploring the banks of the White River here in Indy. It got me to thinking about the many things in my life that include the sport of fishing. I don't mind, I love that Dave is passionate about something the way he is about fishing. It's become a running joke in our relationship. Dave lives to fish.

You know you date a fisherman when...

1. Date nights always end up at Dick's or Gander Mountain


2. Your purse has to sit in the backseat of the car because the front seat is reserved for the fishing pole

3. On the first nice days of the year, getting outside means scoping out the river bed for the upcoming season

4. Winter months consist of stocking up on lures

5. The television on Saturday mornings blast shows about bass competitions and outdoor fishing

6. Every time a birthday or holiday comes around the question "are you sure you don't want me to buy you a fishing pole?" comes out of his mouth

7. When you do end up at Dick's or Gander Mountain, you know exactly where the fishing section is and head right for it.

8. And you know exactly which pole and reel he would buy you if you gave the okay.

9. Home decor is all fishing themed

10. When looking for a nice wall hanging, he suggests buying the one that said "A fisherman lives here with the best catch of his life"

11. The fishing pole goes with you on all trips to the park and on every hike, just in case

12. School projects turn into a family fishing video

13. Scrolling through text messages you find countless photos of him holding up the latest catch
