Lunkerville Comes Home to World Fishing Network & Sportsman Canada

NEW YORK, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of a mini-series inspired to "Get Folks Fishing" that aired on Discovery Channel in December 2020, the five-time Sportsman Channel Award-winning TV series, Lunkerville, returns home to World Fishing Network (WFN) this spring.

"Lunkerville has been able to sustain longevity through interesting storytelling and that's not easy to do in television these days," says Outdoor Sportsman Group Director of Programming, Monte Daniels. "The popularity of Lunkerville is testimony to the sport of fishing and its renewed passion among young and old, especially considering the solitary nature of the sport and the ability to be outdoors."

The new season of Lunkerville picks up where it left off in December with 13 fun-filled episodes featuring everyday anglers from all walks of life sharing their passion for the outdoors, while taking on the task of teaching host 'Mike D' to fish. The series continues its goal to Get Folks Fishing by championing the sport as a mindful activity that helps nurture and strengthen mental health.

It's all part of Michael de Avila's personal mission to have people experience the emotional and social wellness benefits of recreational fishing — by showing them just how easy and accessible it is to actually do. "When you take away the distractions of tech, you not only get to enjoy the beauty of nature and feel the excitement of catching fish, but you're immersed in a meditative environment that's ideal for introspection," explains the host and creator. "And with the promise of an easing of pandemic restrictions by summer, I can think of no better sport to welcome back friends into our orbit — some of my best friendships have been made out on the water."

In other news… while the new season of Lunkerville airs on television this spring, Mike will be on the road, traveling across North America to fish and film with members of the show's Facebook Group. These all-new episodes are slated to premiere in the fall of 2021.

Beginning April 3, 2021, watch Lunkerville "Get Folks Fishing" every Saturday at 7:30 pm (EST) on the World Fishing Network and 6:30 pm (EST) on Sportsman Channel Canada:
