Rank these Sakai Hiroshima Champions....

[aquitori]

(Origanal set of pics)Kohak A out of the selection is still the top Kohak. At the Shinkokai level it is top dog. At ZNA level that same fish did no better than 3rd place under it's Japanese owner at the time. Maybe the Japanese owner didnt see much potential after it's fair showing at ZNA, so it was sold....

I love Kohaku A, outstanding! But C is just super clean and attractive looking.

What have they been feeding kohaku these days? How on earth do they get so bulky?

Here's one of my favorite in the 2006 show

Here's a better pic of #3. I'm not a fan of kage sumi so #2 is out for me.

B would be my overall champ. Couldn't take my eyes off of her.

At 91cm, the GC stands out like no other, IMO. But, yeah, for personal viewing I'd love that inazuma in my pond!

Of the second set I would take them all..but if I had to pick I would probaly go with A.
