Hey, my second post!

In the DVD "How the East was Won" about Mark and Martin, the two gents mention that they were considering selling the 2006 GC Jessica Rose kohaku. Since then, I have seen her appear as a Sakai Fish Farm parent fish, so I guess Sakai made some arrangement with M&M to get the fish back. The Maruyama showa is being used as a parent koi also as I remember hearing about some tosai from her being offered.

- Wayne, wonders if any Jessica Rose tosai has come to the US yet.
