the city it seems like I was an infondela county yeah the less the
requirements to be a local yeah I came from a small town where it's like if you
weren't born there you never get like where we're at low die yep yeah I know
where it is yeah it's like there are people that live there for 50 years but
they weren't born there and it graduates so they were never a local it's like
you got to get to a bigger city you're good all right so I guess tell me a little
bit about your involvement the fishing has no boundaries and walleye weekend and
how that all comes together fishing has no boundaries I started on the board
about three years ago a couple of their board members asked me to join with my
me working at the Arc Fondelac and then also knowing that I had a child with
autism and then this year I'm junior co-chair for a walleye weekend so I get
to drive around in a nice fancy cart and do whatever it needs to be done and
everything so just drive around see what people need and help out wherever
needs possible what is the the mission of fishing has no boundaries and
especially in connection to an event like this where you've got so many
people coming in the mission for fishing has no boundaries is to give
opportunities for people with disabilities to get out there and get
able to fish in essence and in a nutshell so we try to get them opportunities and
chances to do go out fishing we do two events one in the summer and one in the
winter during ice fishing season to get out there and do what they need to do
and have fun so one of the things about we're focused on walleye but it's
fishing in general is that you know for some people they would look at it like
we got to have a lot of money you got to have a boat you got to have a big motor
and a trailer and a truck and free time and but there's also there's other ways
to get access to fishing oh yeah absolutely because with our summer event
we are always looking for boat captains that have pontoon bolts some that have
fishing bolts whatever but it's even nicer if they have a pontoon boat
because our members with disabilities sometimes feel more comfortable on the
bigger boats to go out fishing and everything
and are you a fisherman yourself no I am not I am not a fisherman by chance but I
don't mind going out there and helping out of knee beam so I talked a little
about the importance of walleye weekend and fondle at why is why is it walleye
first of all and how does that feel I think because of the size the lake
and then when I started it over 40 years ago
this event they wanted to grow this this tournament
mercury boat tournament and everything I think it's
key for the community in a sense that it gives us a sense of something that
a sense of pride of something happening in our town
and everything so I think it's a great to have and I'm happy to be a part of it
and everything so it's wonderful and how do you eat walleye?
yes I do yes what's your opinion on fishing generals at walleye premium or
what does that fit in with that to me it's right in the middle
I like I'm a I'm a big probably perch guy more perch than anything so
that's a good choice too yeah all right can I get you to say and spell your
name and give your title for this event my name is Grant Munro spell g r a n t
m o n r o e and I am junior cold chair for walleye weekend and I'm
I work at the arc final like all right thank you so much really appreciate
