Toyota Tundra Classic w/ HatCams

From October 16th to October 18th I was at Lake Conroe with the HatCams Gang at the Toyota Tundra Bass Classic. This was a great expo and tournament, and Toyota really put on a good show. There were numerous booths and exhibits ranging from Insurance to water safety, jewelry to sunglasses and all types of fishing equipment, lures, rods and boats. I was in the booth with HatCams. This is a new company that has a great new product. Randy Peterson, the owner, patented a tripod camera mount on a cap. This in turn holds a pocket camcorder. This unique combination allows the user to video without having to hold a video camera in their hands. ANYTHING you would want to record, where you need both hands free, this product is the ticket. You can find Randy and HatCams at http://www.hatcams.com/ and I invite you to check them out. The uses for this product are endless as Randy told me that they have videos coming in to their site that include, fishing, hunting, instructionals on how to do different things, and folks just playing with the kids. I use this product myself to video lure demos. HatCams offers two different cameras on their website, but any small pocket camcorder will work as long as it has a tripod mount on the bottom.

Getting back to the Expo, Evan Williams was on hand, as was Dick's Sporting good, but overall I was impressed with the Charity that the PAA and Toyota were donating to with the proceeds. The Catch a Dream Foundation makes dreams come true for terminally ill children who have a love for hunting, fishing, and other field related sports. These fine folks will schedule a hunting or fishing trip for these kids, hook them up with an outfitter or guide, and give them the opportunity to hunt and fish for trophies as this might be the last time they would ever get to have an adventure of this magnitude. As I was talking to Mr. Marty Brunson, with the foundation, I got to thinking about someone I knew that had a child that passed away without ever getting to do any of the things he might have wanted to do. Please visit their website, http://catchadream.org/index.html and if you could anyway assist this organization, do not hesitate in contacting Mr. Brunson.
Over all the show was a success. Met a lot of very fine people and I am proud to say that I am now also sponsored by Fish Eyes Sunglasses as a result of this show. I already have a link to them on the site here, so check them out for all your sunglasses needs. I'm already looking forward to next year.
