deerslayer,
It appears you're on the young side. Just some news for you in case you weren't aware. No girlfriend or wife makes a man do anything he doesn't want to do. If you do it, it's because you either want to or allow yourself to be guilt tripped into doing it.
Also, no man ever bought too much fishing gear unless his wife/gf has only one pair of shoes. If you like it, and you can afford it, and your kids aren't hungry or shoeless, it's OK.

oh i know. trust me if i didnt want to sell my gear i wouldnt.
she just pushes me to it. its like i know i dont need them and i want to get rid of them. but i just cant get around to it.
trust me there is no need for the amount of rod i own.
i have 4 gl3 1143's and 2 gl3 1263's, a bunch of 1141's of various brands, the list goes on and on. i have a friend who owned his own shop so i had him order me 3 of the same rod for some reason.
anyway half the time i feel guilty because i spend more money on fishing then i do my gf. and i spend more of my time fishing as well. she says she doesnt mind, but come on what girl would be truely ok with their bf spending more time fishing or hunting.
oh yeah did i also mention that it is a long distance relationship, and i only see her at most once a week for maybe 5 hours.
