About Lunkerville
When Indie film director Michael de Avila hooked his passion for story-telling onto his love of bass-fishing, he spawned the award-winning television show, "Lunkerville" (a Rockville Pictures production). Each week, host and co-producer "Mike D" uses his compelling charisma to charm both guest and fish out of the water. While most fishing shows focus on fast-paced pro-tournament competition, Mike D prefers to cast his line at the everyday, recreational bass fisherman, his secret spots and special techniques. In his signature laid-back manner, Mike D reels in the camaraderie, the banter and the bass. And sometimes, his guests even bite back. There's never a dull moment on "Lunkerville", the show that catches real people with real fish stories week after week. Tips and Tactics DVD
