1st pick, koi #61, the 155th (151e)pick of the lot.
I thought this koi look like it might have some size to it. I was wrong, though not small it was a solid 6 inches.
it has nice shiro and I thought it looked like it had sumi running across it's face and then back again across it's mouth, it did! I hope that stays.

2nd pick, koi #159, 156th (151f)pick of the lot.
the pickings where getting slim, I had watched all the koi I liked get pulled. Luke said he like the looks of this koi being it had a piece of sumi dripping from one eye, but felt it was not buff enough compared to some posted it. it seems not to have a thick tail tube but it measured in at a heafty 8 1/4 inches!

I pulled and bowled the shiros today to see if there were any changes. Sumi is coming up!
the little one has a full black snout now!
the LukeFish now has sumi running from his eye to his nose and is a full eight inches too.
