I went out yesterday with my kids to so some "pre-chumming" for the FFF New Years Day Tournament, and PROMISED my 9 year old Ben that I wouldnt fish ....however when we got to spot # 2 for chumming, I was amazed at what I saw. I had scoped out this "new" pond earlier in the summer and never had a chance to fish it, but I had seen 3 different koi there and even had one feeding from the surface one time! As we arrived we could see that it was a little stained from the recent rain, but at the stream entering the pond, there were SIX koi feeding
 .......Well, there went my promise to Ben  ......There was one especially pretty koi, which actually is a Japanese variety called an asagi, and this one had the "tancho" mark (the rising sun) on his head, making him a very valuable fish.......Snuck up to the inlet stream pipe and dropped a single kernel of sweetcorn on a sz 16 hook in his way and he slowly swam towards it and vacuumed it up...fish on!....after a nervous slow steady fight, he was mine!!...and yes he now lives at my house  .....This is one pretty fish!If the weather cooperates, there may be some real interesting catches on New Years Day.......

You devil! I cannot understand how you can find that many ponds with that many kois (without even speaking of catching them!). Did you buy a bunch of small ones 10 years ago and you spreaded them into all the ponds of your neighborhood or what?

That rocks.
Congrats man. Glad I got to meet you in PA this last summer and see you in action. Makes this recent capture of yours even more enjoyable to read about.
