Who's the breeder? The bodylines tell me it has strong Sensuke bloodline. Okay back to the critque, the body is nice and spindle. People always look for that long Matsunuke thick cigar body, but I like the Sensuke bodyline because it looks more elegant. 3-step flowery kohak is nice and the pattern will be perfect when the fish is 30"+....It is balance in every way.

Skin quality looks good, alittle more conditioning will be needed to make this a top notch Kohak...I would have to say if it were entered at a show it would do very well. When we talk about a fish as "The complete package" it has it. The fish has a very very bright future!!!

The fish has the same lines as this fish:

This fish was breed by Ogata. She will be a welcome addition to our pond.

Kinda figured it was from Ogata.. Like I said the lines of your Kohak is the same lines of the AFKS GC that Kevin brought in from Ogata...Have to admit he has some nice Kohaks...By the way is that Kohak goin to Gardena or All-Bay Area?

Such a classic pattern is not very exciting, but it will become more impressive as she grows. Very nice.

Well balanced pattern, good body. My sentiments pretty well echo Aquatori's. A little bit of finishing to brighten the shiroji will make this one a real beauty. I'll be looking forward to seeing more pics as it goes above 30".

Its a beautiful koi and giving a little more time I do think this kohaku will brighten up and knock some socks off. The pattern is good and also the tail tube is good and thick. the koi looks like it was stressed a little when the pic was taken and I bet the shiro is much better than the pic shows. I would take this one and enter into a few shows, I think this koi has a good show future

I wish I had one like that with the good body and hi

This koi has alot going for it, as has already been said by the others. The one thing not mentioned is the owners. You two have the ability and knowledge to keep improving it.

Would like to see it in person for a better critique, but from the picture it is looking good!
