Cool day at Champion koi.

It was a nice day at Champ Koi in San Jose. I missed the Young Koi Show, so I was excited to attend this event. Prizes, food and fun like the past few years they've been having this.
Well the funny thing is I bring my cousin just to company me to the San Diego show and to show him something different. I give him the koi 101 class from the first two tanks. Then were off and running looking at the rest of the tanks and he's pointing things out about koi that looks nice, and they were too (nice).
So I bring him to Champions event and the guy wins the judging contest. I was totally blown away, at the same time totally proud.
All in all in was a good koi day! Thanks Champs ...............

I think it's a Koi Rule that only newbies can win Judging Contests -- or at least it seems that way.

Glad everyone had fun. Any pix of the fish to share?

True that is, This was the first event I ever participated in a few years back. I was about to leave knowing I wan't going to win and they announce my name saying I won second place judging?
Maybe stepping outside the box when judging or picking koi will be my next experiment.
Here are some picks of the fish they used for the judging contest which I'm sure are for sale.
