Doh! I'm a pillock! I posted the following text on another thread in response to a question by Aquitori asking about whether 'Monster Taro' had ever been for breeding. I thought that Maurice's Sanke (pictured above by Maurice) was in the same thread, but it was here! So, I'll paste the text over here!

Hi Aquitori,
Monster Taro was used as a male parent with.... Maurice's Sanke!!! as Nisai at 73cm. He is now 95cm at 5 years old, but was sold to a customer from Thailand at Nisai, but on the understanding that he wasn't used for breeding again! This Koi was very valuable for this one off spawning, as Mr Maeda felt that this Koi's genetics (son of Mako, who was a sister to the 101cm Sanke), couple with that of the 84cm 5 year old female (now Maurice's) would create a step forward for producing even bigger Sanke. It was a great success! But, alas, Maurice will probably never get his hands on Monster Taro!
The 101cm Sanke, unfortunately, never yielded any eggs. But, they did try a coupld of years running with her (or it).
Mike.

Even though its a candid photo...look at the bod on that one...I really like the head proportions, not narrow, nice and wide for some good proportional growth...Sorry, I'm a real sucker for nice bods and heads.
