Does it matter what judge judges your fish?

Under what eye would you perfer to judge your fish? Japanese , UK, American or Any ZNA judges...

Ofcourse it does; while there are the accepted standards, judging is very subjective and different 'eyes' along with different tastes influence decissions.

good question, let's just say I tailor what I bring out based to "who's" judging. Keep in mind that it's not (an exact) science. It's "art" appreciation .

If I wrote a musical arrangement I would prefer a critique from Tchaikovsky rather than Lawrence Welk.

I'd like a Japanese Judge Pweese....cuz i like a big ol fat honkin' koi.
(That is a serious answer. I love big meaty fish....not the baseball bats. That being said, i like a pattern TOO.)
