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

That's amazing--I had didn't know Koi got that big. You must have been like a Koi Whisperer or something LOL
That koi had the best life. Evah!!! RIP Silver Bullet.
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....
