First Annual Lake Lanier Striper Fun Fest Goes Green with the Help of AT&T and Samsung Technology
Fishing Tournament Results to Be Captured With Virtual Weigh-In
BUFORD, GA, June xx, 2009 — With the help of AT&T and Samsung*, the Lake Lanier Striper Club will host the first-ever fishing tournament where the results will be determined via a “virtual” weigh-in of the fish caught during the tournament. The First Annual Lake Lanier Striper Fun Fest will be held on Saturday, September 12 at Lake Lanier and represents an innovative and unique “Go Green” approach to fishing tournaments through the use of wireless technology. “This is a great opportunity for the Lanier Striper Club, AT&T and Samsung to participate in a first ever approach to a fishing tournament,” said Dan Saknini, president of the Lake Lanier Striper Club. “Last year, our club saved a ton and a half of fish by putting all the fish we caught back into the lake, so we took that idea and decided to expand it to a fishing tournament using the latest wireless technology on the market today.” Information about participation or sponsorship of the First Annual Striper Fun Fest can be found at http://www.lanierstriperclub.com/tournament
The virtual weigh-in process involves equipping each participant’s boat with a wireless device and a measuring board. Participants will take pictures of the fish caught with Samsung donated waterproof wireless devices then send them to a central coordinating contact for the tournament via multi-media message. All participants will get a real time list of tournament standings via mobile emails and text messages during the entire tournament day. The winner will determined via an analysis of the pictures of fish caught during the day. And of course, all fish caught will be returned to the lake.
“Technology is changing the way fishing enthusiasts enjoy and experience the sport today including the use of underwater cameras, fish finders and GPS to track fish - so the idea of using wireless technology with a focus on conservation just made sense to us,” said Steve Sitton, Southeast region president for AT&T’s Mobility and Consumer Markets unit, and Secretary of the Lake Lanier Striper Club. “We also appreciate the support of Samsung and Lake Lanier Islands Resort in making this uniqu e effort come to life and we welcome other companies who may be interested in participating with this event in the future.”
Samsung is providing 50 Samsung Rugby wireless devices for use by each boat in photographing the fish and emailing them to the tournament coordinators; and Lake Lanier Islands is providing hospitality space and refreshments for the event. These companies, along with AT&T are just some of the sponsors of the tournament.
