You might be an Idiot Sportsman if…

Your guide has had to untangle your line for you more than three times in a single outing.

The only fish you boated that day were hooked by the guide and handed off to you.

You ever spent the evening drying your clothes by the campfire after saying, "Stand back and observe the Master," earlier that day.

You ever backed your buddy's boat trailer into a light pole after demanding he give you the car keys because of his incompetence at backing up boat trailers.

You've launched your boat without the drain plug more than twice in one season.

You ever knocked a trophy flounder off your buddy's line and ten feet into the air while attempting to net it for him, then fell overboard trying to catch it like a butterfly as it came down. (Very advanced Idiot Sportsmen maneuver--do not try this unless it comes naturally.)

You have 1-800-BOAT-TOW on your cell phone speed dial.

You ever hooked a companion's neck on a backcast, apologized insincerely (he was in the way, after all), then hooked him again on the next cast.

Your wife has ever begged you to give up fishing and get a mistress.

You ever said, "You know, maybe we should try hunting next time," and everyone suddenly remembers their calendars are booked solid for the next twelve years.
