RIP Silver Bullet

yesterday our biggest Kio died.  Silver bullet was marthas fish baby... and in trying to figure out just how old he was I think I am deciding about 12 years old.  He was 29 inches long and 16 pounds.  he was so big around and you cant really tell that from the one pic I managed to take but this fish baby was HUGE!
when we got him and the 5 other koi  they were the size of my pinky finger... martha and I drove way out in south augusta to a place that no longer exists and picked out these 6 fish from the hundreds they had there and named them on the way home... its funny that this fish was a little silver colored streak that would dart all around the pond like a bullet
anyway we are down to 4 of the original 6 koi 4 fish that hatched here and one gold fish
well time to go get my bradley so hope you have an awesome day!

That was one big koi... We know to get that size you all gave him a good life. You always hate to lose them but you have a lot of years of looking back and being entertained by him darting around his pond.

Hugs....
