Born and raised in the backwaters of Dale Hollow Lake and the foothills of East Tennessee, Ricky Cooper, an outdoorsman from an early age, could most often be found wading the creeks and climbing the mountains in search of adventure. Ricky hunted everything that dared to share the great outdoors. Everyday is an adventure when you’re a boy growing up on the Cumberland Plateau, with hundreds of acres of hunting grounds and set on the best small bass fishing lake anywhere around. Dale Hollow Lake was that place for him.
