Congratulations to Bart Thompson on winning Baby Grand Champion at the 11th Annual Golden Empire Koi Show in Bakersfield, California this last weekend.

Purchased from Pan Intercorp, this beautiful Sanke sports large patches of jet black Sumi that are a stark contrast to the balanced crimson Hiban. This Sanke was bred by Sakai of Hiroshima and is just over one year old. Bart’s eye for the best brought him top honors this past weekend.

Way to go Bart!
