Hi, my name is Rich Hardy. As the reigning “ Hammer Award winner , I have been nominated to defend my “ Crown “. I received my nomination following the 5^th tournament of the new fishing year 06-07 ( March ). The circumstances surrounding my nomination are as follows: While searching for those illusive bass on Saturday morning, one of the areas I chose as a potential good spot to fish in also proved to be a good spot to sharpen my pinball skills, my boat being used as the ball. I managed to hit a submerged dock going in and an aluminum pier going out. This adventure did cause some damage to my foot and prop.I may not have finished in the money for the tournament, but I did get the high score for that round of pinball.
