Billy.....as I mentioned before....very nice Ochiba. Hard to find with excellent patterns and good deep color. I have a pretty nice one, who at 12 inches took the ZNA Award at Portland a couple years ago. Quite a feat for a 12 inch fish. Yours, however is nicer in my opinion. The pattern on your ochiba will look good as it grows. Mine grew out of it's pattern somewhat....but still pleasing. Good choice....think you have a wonderful ochiba, which hopefully will get even more impressive as it grows. JMHO
