Hi, my name is Frank,”Hook,line,& Sinker”, Kelly. I have been nominated for the prestigious “ Hammer Award “. I received my nomination following the 6th tournament of the new fishing year  06-07( April ). The circumstances surrounding my nomination are as follows: I was observed leaving one of my hot spots and trying to get to another hot spot ahead of the competion. In my haste I was attempting to get on plane prior to realizing I had failed to pull my trolling motor out of the water. I managed to get a very cold shower at this point. Perhaps I was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Get a shower ( fully clothed and  get to my next spot and already be ready to start trolling in an effort to find that “ lunker “. I doubt I needed to try to wake himself up since the wind was quite brisk and cool all day long.

It seems I have joining Cliffy in adding to my resume for the hammer award. I seem to have this bad habit of mistaking the hood release for the brake release when asisting other members in launching their boats. It might be a good idea for those I might assist to check all their hood releases, brake releases and any other levers within their truck after I have assisted you.
