Shaun enjoys fishing. The quarterback started reeling in fish that were inhabitants of farm ponds in his home state of Kansas during high school. When he lived in Minnesota as a member of the Vikings, Shaun caught a 30-inch, nine-pound walleye on his first try. He was able to lure the fish using a leech for bait 40 feet deep. Also in his fishing repertoire is a 48-inch Muskellunge. On January 31, 2011, his father, Ted Hill, died after falling while helping his son work on a barn.
