HOOKED ON FUN
Mentor’s newest extracurricular, the Fishing Club, was founded by grade twelve student, Nicolai Grekov. Nicolai’s idea was inspired by NFL quarterback Justin Herbert, who started his own fishing club in high school. He approached Mr. Lee and Mr. Sweeney, who were impressed with his initiative and were eager to help. Nicolai then proposed his plan to Mr. Hall, who was ready to give his support! Soon afterwards, the Fishing Club was up and running, quickly gaining immense interest. Meetings take place every Wednesday, where members of all levels of experience discuss unique fishing stories, personal techniques, and how to make fishing experiences as memorable as possible. Nicolai and the teacher supervisors also taught members about the basics of fishing, different types of bait, tying lines, and where to find certain types of fish. On October 24 after school, the Fishing Club went on its very first excursion to the Credit River, which was an enjoyable time for everyone! The club aims to go on more trips throughout the school year, the most exciting one being the OEC! “I’ve had so much fun planning everything and leading it all with Mr. Lee and Mr. Sweeney,” Nicolai says, and hopes that the club will continue to run even after his graduation, eventually expanding into a fishing community at Mentor College. th
