David loved fishing. He spent many Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends at Holly's Resort on Ottertail Lake. He also enjoyed an annual fishing trip to Canada with the guys he graduated from high school with. He was always on the hunt for the "big one". He made several fishing trips to Alaska, Florida and Costa Rica.

He also enjoyed spending winters in Mazatlán, Mexico. David enjoyed entertaining family and friends in Mexico and was famous for his specialty, peel and eat shrimp. Oh, and of course there was fishing. He loved taking early morning fishing trips and later having everyone over for a fish fry.
