Some appear too snipey for my taste. I guess I like nice heads with soft faces and strong - long sexy bodies...hmmmmm. I'm a sucker for a nice white odome (Eagle), hahaha...Sanke is sooooo difficult....

Akai-san, I think the fish are way better in person..Trust me from the last Sept. auction I was thinking the same way but when you see the fish in person it's different, way different!! Just ask Brian or Mike S. Anyways, if the fish were too perfect now as far as shiroji goes there would be no room for improvement and being that those are Jumbo Tosai means there will be room for improving. Yes, Sanke is so difficult but they are still my favorite, just because most people can't see Sanke. I think with every auction that comes and goes everyone is looking for a fish that when big will strike your fancy. It's one thing to look at a fish now, but I think it's even harder to project a fish at 80cm or even 90cm and that's when the guessing game begins. Peace out!!!
