What you should know about David:

I am a full time father first and then my love of fishing comes next. Fishing is the thing I do to both have fun and to relieve stress. As a small child my grandfather introduced me to Lake Okeechobee and all it has to offer. Even though my grandfather is gone I still carry on the tradition with my sons and travel over three hours at least once a month to fish on this great lake.

 

How David started fishing

As a kid I started doing local tournaments and then once I became and adult I started becoming members of fishing clubs so I could participate in their tournaments.

Aspirations or goals with fishing

I aspire to become a professional bass angler and fish next to some of my idols including Kevin VanDam, Bobby Lane and Chris Lane. I also would like to grow my non for profit and teach our youth about the sport of fishing.

Favorite way to fish

My favorite way to fish is using frogs because I like the strike action of the bass hitting the plug.
