Hi, my name is Frank Bost, better known as “ Sarg “. I have been nominated for the annual “ Hammer Award “. I received my nomination following the 3 rd tournament of the new fishing year of 07-08 ( January). The circumstances surrounding my nomination are as follows: On January 5 th I was attempting to back my trailer from the parking area of Smith’s when the prior affliction ( magnetic attraction of my truck to other member’s trailers) returned.I managed to put a fine scratch in the front of my new “red “ F150 4x4by coming in with “ Big Rich’s trailer. I thought by getting a New truck this affliction would go away, but apparently not. It is for this event at our club’s 3 rd tournament of the new fishing season gave me the honor of being the 2nd nominee of our prestigious “ Hammer Award” .

Although previously nominated for the Hammer Award, I felt it imperative that in order to stay in the running so I took a page out of Cliffy’s book and went swimming at Miller’s Ferry although, unlike Cliffy, I stayed in my boat. I merely forgot one small detail prior to launching. I failed to put my plug in. The boat quickly filled up with water prior to my starting my bilge pump. I did manage to finish 3rd in the tournament and won the booray My first purchase from my winnings will be an automatic bilge pump. It is for this my Hammer Award nomination updated.
