The SEMA show in Las Vegas has a little something for everyone, from custom painters to bass fishers. The Ultimate Fishing Toyota Tundra is obviously for the latter.

Toyota tapped Bassmaster Elite Series pro fisherman Britt Myers for the build; he's also a well-known builder of custom Toyota Tundras from his North Carolina shop. The company commissioned the special edition truck, and Myers grabbed five of his fishing buddies to brainstorm about what the truck should feature.

It began life as a Tundra CrewMax, Toyota's biggest regular-duty pickup. It has the capability to haul a bass boat and store all the gear a fishing crew needs.

The Ultimate Fishing Tundra will have bed-area tackle storage for reels, rods and a refrigerator. The rear bench seat is replaced with buckets and a custom fiberglass console that sits in between the dash and rear cab wall. It includes monitors and subwoofers. The front door panels will have monitors with lake-mapping capabilities.

Outside, the Tundra gets a TRD Big Brake kit and a 12-inch suspension lift. A custom roof rack carries LED lights and rod storage.

A TRD supercharger and exhaust system complete the build.

The truck will be revealed at SEMA in early November, along with the four Toyota Racing Dream Build cars and trucks, built by four of the company's race drivers.

We'll bring you more info and pictures as SEMA approaches, as soon as Toyota makes them available.

The 2012 SEMA show takes place Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is a leading indicator of trends in technology and customization for the automotive industry. Autoweek will be there with the latest news, photos and video, and we'll bring it all to you right here at autoweek.com.
