I still think the #2 kohaku, in the judge's corner is the one I'd want ( the yellow face i could fix).
This Ray Jordan guy is alright, I always read his stuff right after JR's.
It's a thankless job as editor of Koi USA( I've been told ) But dog gonnit every time i read something about that man, people are thanking him!
and finally if I had to choose my favorite AKCA fish of the year that I would want in my pond, it would be the Kindai Showa of the Kendall's from the Dayton Koi and Goldfish Club!
