Rikki Cooper, a brand new talk for Xmas

At 36, you could say Rikki has been and done it. A qualified angling coach, ever-present at Essex PAC's coaching youngsters events and can be found in the popular "cafe swim" enjoying some banter. But this cheeky chappie from Kent has been hiding from the limelight now for a good while.

Often found fishing with Andy Lush, he has connections with him and his ET brand and was the proud winner of the Lure Angling Society (LAS) Bewl Water Chamionship!
But where Rikki really succeeds, is his desire to fish alot. For that reason, simple as it is, Rikki has amassed an amazing 7 pike over the magic 30lb mark, with all but one of them caught from tough rivers. Since catching that huge 8lb pike at 12yrs old, Rikki has a real affinity with river piking. Though his pb pike at 35lb 13oz came from a lake.

These days, Rikki coaches angling to youths and vulnerable adults as a full-time job since getting his coaching badges in 2012 and he has also guided for large groups in Europe for monster catfishing. A real down to earth guy, loveable and downright helpful, Rikki certainly has some stories to tell, in his own unassuming funny style! We look forward to seeing Rikki give his debut talk, we were expecting Craig Renwick but we'll be rescheduling that one
