I think when an All-California ZNA District Show will happen I would love to see Duke, Lansing, and Co come out of Private hobbyist mode to compete. Maybe get some big wigs from ZNA Japan and do I hear Kato-san's name.... Maybe someday...

I think I can convince Joe Co . You may see him next March at ZNA SO CAl.

Thank you ALL for your kind words and congrats. I am, especially, moved by your level of Koi appreciations and enthusiasism. It makes all worthwhile and this is Koi hobby all about.

PS: It's my pleasure and honor to see old/new friends from far distances. Just wish to have more time to walk around to make more new ones .
Great to see you Nancy/Frank and folks from So. Cal, again!

Congratulations Duke!!! A wonderful accomplishment! A lot beautiful about your Kohaku, body lines in particular.

I would enjoy seeing a close pic of the fukurin, scales, and luster in the dorsal area if anyone has any.

Best Wishes,
Brady Brandwood

Great Show and very friendly people. Superb Job by my friend Larry Gill, and Genki, in putting the show on. Lots of special touches, culimnating in a wonderful wine tour yesterday.


This koi...every bit as incredible as has been said many times. Definately on "par" with the top award winners I have seen in person at the All Japan Show. Brady, I will have to check my pix and see if I have a closeup of that area. Thank you Duke for bringing her out to play.

I tried to get pics of the scales on this fish and got nowhere. Thanks, Dan.

Brady- She was all the way to flabbergasting.

Duke- I don't mean to be silly, but does she have a name? I missed out meeting you...this time.
