Team Searcher is still celebrating the birthday of our beloved spokesperson, Bootz! Searcher friends from near and far showered Bootz with birthday wishes, and we even surprised the birthday boy with a big party aboard Searcher!
We shared everything you submitted with Bootz – all of the birthday messages, photos, videos and poems – and he was overcome with joy and gratitude to be recognized on his special day!
Our team of judges and the birthday Bootz unanimously selected Howard Folmer as the winner of Bootz’ Birthday Contest! Howard’s poem “Bootz” (submitted via Facebook) captures the true essence of fishing aboard Searcher!
Hearing the poem made everyone at the party long even more for the start of our fishing season!
Congratulations, Howard! You won a new pair of Xtratuf boots!
Prize courtesy of our awesome sponsors Xtratuf! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Searcher friends: Please enjoy reading Howard’s winning poem and dream about getting your own fishing boots on Searcher‘s deck soon! Season start is just around the corner! We can’t wait!
Bootz
by Howard Folmer
Bootz, my dear, what can I say?
I long to be with you night and day.
When we are apart, it pains my sole,
I’m only complete when its you, me, and a pole.
You see, when I walk and I don’t feel you there,
protecting my feet from the water and air,
Its like a part of me is missing (especially when fishing)!
I feel warm and protected when you mold yourself to me.
We spend hourz together when we are at sea.
I’m saying all this, so you will know,
How much I love you, from heel to toe.
I so look forward to shedding my suit,
to put on some shortz and my favorite Bootz.
Happy birthday my friend, I hope you celebrate
Until we meet again, I can hardly wait.
