It is with great pleasue that Angling Direct introduces experienced fisherman and presenter Hassan Khan as our Social Media Manager.
Hassan has been a mad keen angler for 25 years, starting off coarse fishing on the canals, lakes and rivers of Leicestershire with his dad before progressing to match fishing. Next came fly fishing, which saw Hassan test his skills - self-taught, no less - on Midlands reservoirs such as Eyebrooke, Thornton and Rutland Water.
Once he’d got his driving licence, Hassan began chasing carp across the country, fishing venues all over, including Bluebell Lakes, Stanwick Lakes and Ringstead Carp Fishery. His current UK PBs stand at 46lb 12oz for mirror carp and 41lb 5oz for common carp.
When he’s not chasing carp, Hassan likes lure fishing for pike and perch and heading abroad to try his luck with more exotic species, such as marlin, sailfish, Nile perch and Mekong catfish.
In 2014, Hassan headed north to Manchester to become Presenter at CARPology, the world’s largest carp fishing media group. He has also worked on a number of other presenting projects, including the episode of Fishing TV’s Carp Wars entitled ‘Harry’s Story’.
Hassan is “massively excited” to be joining us as Social Media Manager and is looking forward to being involved in creating and presenting entertaining and informative content for AD TV and our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, keeping you up to date with the latest and greatest in new tackle, tactics and competitions no matter whether your heart lies with carp, coarse, fly, pike or sea fishing.
He is buzzing to get to know the Angling Direct community when he joins on Monday 7th August, so, as he says: “Please don’t be shy, come say hi.”
“We are extremely excited to have Hassan on board and confident he will lead our social media into new avenues,” said Angling Direct Marketing Manager Oliver Harper.
“Please join me in welcoming Hassan to Angling Direct and wishing him all the best in his new role.”
