| Those pics were taken on Saturday, but the final selection was on Friday. It turned out that my second choice (or was it third?) was traded in by the person who picked it first. So, I was able to get it also. [My selections are the very unfinished one moving at the bottom of the first pic, and the prematurely? balanced patterned one against the edge of the tub.] I selected based on intuition regarding sex of the fish, body shape and guessing future pattern. Discussing it with Ray later, I did not approach it right. All the tosai had acceptable bodies at this stage, pattern is irrelevant... select based on the shininess and depth of the Sumi. Based on Ray's view, all the fish were fine, but the couple of best fish were not either of mine! LOL. But, I'm going to enjoy seeing how they come along. I'll be bringing them back to CFKS 2008.
