Mat McCann bum shot?

[dizzyfish]

In looking through vol. 2 of Koi2Kichi p. 248 there is rear view picture of a white boy helping at a Toshio Sakai mud pond harvest. I'm thinking that guy might be Mat McCann, does anyone know if that is him? I think Alan Coogan was also there at the harvest.

I can't speak for the photos in Koi2Kichi but the "white boy" you mention who was in the photos of the 2005 and 2006 harvest was not Matt McCann. It was another Brit. Don't know if it was Alan or not. Maybe someone else can help out on this one.

It looks like Matt to me. Next time I talk to Tim I will ask.

Alan is the guy in the water.
I don't know the guy on land with his back to the camera.

Ouch Dinh! Run that photo through some red eye fixing software!!!

I decided to post a picture for those of you that don't have K2K. This can't however be Mat as our friend in the picture has a dirty bottom, apparently from sitting on his arse.

thanks Dinh for posting your picture.....

Everytime i've gone to nisei koi farm and found Mat and Ross culling, they were sitting on the edge of the pond with the seine braced up staying cool in the water and saving their backs from bending over while literally sorting thousands of babies so in short it didn't seem unnatural to see mat's waders
in such a condition ( if that was Mat ?) As an avid fly fisherman for streams my waders usually wear out at the knees as I inch along keeping a low profile.

I think Mat is more of an "autumn" so wouldn't he wear tan waders, a rust sweater and maybe a spirulina colored scarf?

That is Matt McCann standing on the bank and Alan Coogan standing in the water searching for a koi.
