FOUNDER'S MESSAGE

Michael de Avila

No matter how different people’s lives are, everyone experiences the same feelings when fishing: It’s meditative, exciting, introspective, and social all at once. When I created Lunkerville after 9/11, I wanted to show people how fishing is a fun and accessible stress reliever, and that anyone could do it, even a guy like me from Manhattan. Today, with mental health and social wellness at stake for so many, I’m more driven than ever to get folks fishing and share the sport’s wellness benefits. Starting the GFF Foundation is my way of focusing attention on the importance of mental health, and having my TV show send that message out into the world so people realize fishing isn’t only about catching the biggest fish, but good health.

LUNKERVILLE

18+ year running fishing lifestyle TV series broadcast on Discovery Channel, World Fishing Network, Sportsman Channel Canada and streamed on Amazon Prime Video, MOTV, Fishing TV and Waypoint Outdoor TV.
