I ain't really sure why I am so obsessed with sitting in a cramped ice house and staring at a little bobber in an 1 8 inch hole in the ice and moving a jig up and down in the other. When you really think of about it, it doesn't make much sense. Could this be fishaloholism?

I have to say that 5 years ago I had to virtually give up fishing to go back to school and try to support a family at the same time. Take the time to do the school thing now and reap the benifits later

Bobb-O, I understand your problem, and I know where you're coming from. But believe me, you're only one of many, many people who want to become a fisheries biologist. Competition is fierce, and grades matter, especially if you want to do the fun work, because then you'll likely need a master's degree. Trust me on this one - a guy with a bachelor's degree and a "C" average can just about forget about getting a job as a fisheries biologist with the DNR.

At the same time, there's a good chance you'll never get as much free time to go fishing as you will now. Study hard, but try to have some fun along the way

Hey Bobb-o, I know the feeling about your mom telling you that fishing is just a hobby. I tell her is way more than a hobby, its the sport that i am the best at.
The worst part is that she doesn't let me stay in canada for 3 weeks and help these guides because she is afraid that i will get hurt and hospital issues and other issues like that. I have been going to that guide for 6 years now for a yearly trip thats when i get kinda mad because i know them really good.
Maybe it will happen this summer, I gotta try.
But my dad is all for my fishing and tries to push it but that don't work with mom.
But what helps me is that I'm in high school and my grades are good so thats what keeps some of it alive.
Go on a be a guide thats what one of my options are!

SET THE HOOK!

yeah i always thought aboot guiding too but i figured i would make more working for the DNR. I tried getting my mom to let me move to my cabin over the summer and work in brainerd but she wouldnt let me. even after i explained to her that i could be catching 14inch crappies and 4 pound bass all summer
