Wow! Think I'm getting an adrenaline rush just looking.

Hope I'm not hooked.

Well we all got to understand, that one of these fish will be a All Japan GC someday or many of them. I mean being at the Momotaro auction was cool, but to be at an auction where the fish from this farm has taken All-Japan GC probably 6 years out of the last 10 years is nice.
