well guys- I say that none of them were wearing underwear!!:no: :no: :yes: :yes: :cheer:
Just guessing of coarse!

[Joey S]

Very bright and very enthusiastic! Had a handful of impresive koi that he was selling in conjunction with some of Jeff's stock. Nice kid...........Ditto - Ricky is very nice, very enthusiastic. Took us awhile to catch him standing still!! BUT, we got him to pose for a pic!! Down loading now...

PS: He thinks he's banned. IS he banned??

[David Smothers]

Well, I made it back in one piece. All the koi are fine after the 9.5 hour trip. Great seeing many of my koi friends and watching some great fish. Lots of fun. Bart & Kathy, thanks for letting hang a bit with you as well. Hope you made it home okay.

Look Like I have 12 pages to read thru. Bart, did you get me in trouble with my koivet shirt. Stephen, I WAS wearing my koiphen shirt today.......sorry you and Mary didn't make the trip.

[Popfish]

Ditto - Ricky is very nice, very enthusiastic. Took us awhile to catch him standing still!! BUT, we got him to pose for a pic!! Downing loading now...

PS: He thinks he's banned. IS he banned??

He is nice, but needs a little humility & less arrogance!

[saltiery]

Just that Louanne and Richard Porter won mature champ with a sanke.

Richard and Louanne's winners were all KOISTUFF fish . Congrats Doc, Mrs.Doc and Tom!!!!

[steveamy]

keep the pics coming bart. Don has the flu and we couldn't come. Sure does look like you all are going to have a good time.

We were looking all over for you guys. That explains it.

[NaturesCall]

i'm looking forward to seeing the koi in them tanks.

[steveamy]

Perhaps Jeff reconsidered the association?

I think he has!

[Joey S]

I am not trying to bring any past "stuff" up...But has anyone found anyhting about Rick/Koiboy911? I believe there were a few people planning on secretly spying on him? :D:Don't think anyone was planning on 'secretly spying on him'. But many did want to know the true skinny, the truth, so to speak. Popfish and I introduced ourselves, chatted for a bit and tried to explain why the 'adults' had problems accepting what he said. Like how can a 'kid' sign contracts, import, arrange for serology tests, etc. Knowing how complicated it is to import, keep and sell Koi, his statements were a bit hard to swallow (online). We tried to explain why everyone was so sceptical and what he needed to do to make his case. He's got a bit of learning to do when dealing with his adult market. However, he did have some nice size, very attractive fish to offer.

[saltiery]

he bought a bunch of beni kumonryus wholesale from Ying at SC Koi to resell inside...

[David Smothers]

You did not know our own David Smothers Brothers, Marie:eek1: shame on you.;)
Yes he is cute:eyebrows: and I got to sit by him in Charlotte. :rofl2:

Lee & Marie, you worry me...but thanks for the compliment. Must be the shirt!:rolleyes: :cool3: :D:

[Joey S]

Well, he sounds like a wheeler dealer alright. ;) :D: Don't think he sold many of his larger fish. $$$ without an established or recognized dealer name. It takes years to build a solid quality reputation. Hopefully, he will learn from this experience.

[David Smothers]

keep the pics coming bart. Don has the flu and we couldn't come. Sure does look like you all are going to have a good time.

We sure missed you all. Tell Don that we hope he is feeling better. I had his pump to return and I will hold on to it. Are y'all going to WInston?

[HAMMERHEAD]

The Girls are floating :yes: ...all look good

[Popfish]
