Looks like a bacterial infection that is causing the skin to peel. I also see, in the very front of that infection that there is some deeper wound there that shows some purplish red color which is an ulcerated area.
On a side note, your net is not really they type you want for koi. It's too deep and can cause injury to the scales of the fish. Get a real koi net and a sock net to be able to place the fish in a show/measuring tub/bowl.
