53rd pick. #117

Wide body koi, a little finished black at the tail with a white stop. Two colored head. Good enough for me, baby.

Nice

Mick...The cold air misses you.........Your pick is "PHAT"...Lots of bulk in such a small koi....Pattern will be strong on the sumi side......Beyond that this one is full of suprises....Try to feed this guy koi-roids...This "PHAT" koi could compete in a koi body-building competition someday.....

Well, I'll try to get some pics in here and work on the first post, the form, later.

Third pick shows as first pic. 5.5 inches.
First pick shows second. 5.5 inches again.
Second pick is last pic and measures 7 inches.

I have opinions on them all and they all delight me.
