That was a fun video & some beautiful looking koi! I can’t wait to see what you’re going to put in your new growing pond! It’s anticipation time eh mate! Thank your mother for the rabbits & shout out to Mrs whisper for making tea & coffee
Quality fish and had the pleasure of seeing some of them in the skin at the shows last year. Hopefully get to a couple of shows this year and maybe even grab a quick chat with you both. Not a massive TH-camr but I do watch most of the content produced by you both
Great video James - excellent banter, information and comedy from two great characters. James you are truly back with vengeance. Good luck with your QT/grow on.
James absolutely awesome, I’m just building me first koi pond and I can’t wait. Everyone in koi seems friendly and loving the vids mate Keep it going as you are so easy to watch mate 👍
Great video James. He’s a top bloke Lee, I’m off to see him myself next week and pick up my ISA Showa I’ve been lucky to get from him. Some amazing fish in that collection.
Love your videos mate and inspired me to build my own koi pond ordered sleepers as can't afford blocks but looking at a 2.4 x2.4 x1.2 bottom feed pond with easy pod and moving bay filter and hopefully a window in gonna do over next few months keep up the vids there great 👍
Happy days. Watched both your pond builds 👌 I've got profi drum aswell. And I've seen the Burton drums. They are definitely up there. Just preference aint it
Now then Boi, great coverage, we had the pleasure of going to Lees last year them Koi have come on outstanding, he could sell day tickets for that kind of visit always makes you welcome. Well done James keep going 👏 🙏🔨🐰🐇🐰
I have a thick newbie question here. You said the yellow one at the start of the video was "grade a quality" and a lot of the koi suppliers sell fish as "a grade" but when I googled about koi grades it says that 'a grade' is low to mid. Does "a grade" mean top quality in the UK or mid quality?
Brilliant 👏. Doesn't Lee talk 😅. Great flog buddy 👍 Amazing Koi Lee. I did hear what he paid for one 😮😮! Two famous TH-camrs together ❤️ bloody brilliant 🔥.
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 It was bud! I like to see Lee's pound one day as well. Watched Lee from the beginning like yourself. Happy days. The hammer 🔨 👌
Obviously you and Lee have become mates and he's also got some lovely looking fish to..but I much prefer your pond to be honest and with you and you have got some stunning koi yourself to especially the Kujaku stunning looking koi that is and the others are to..plus I think just keeping 10 or 12 big koi is enough..and your misses Whisperer will probably agree with me 😅
Some would have done it. And did at mine the year before last someone cleared me out if it wasn't for me grandchildren I would have not gotten more fish . As I'm on a buget I'll get there once again.
@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 No, I'm getting there, but as on budget, it takes time. Not money I don't have. The thing for me is how ever it was couldn't have gotten much for it . I wish I could have gotten my hands on them . But there we go . But thanks for the offer. One thing I can say is I've been keeping koi for 30+ years, and back then, it was all vary hush hush . That's a lot better now . But once again, thanks .and thank you're mother for the rabbits.
What do we call big fish for me 50+ cm is a very good koi, 60cm -75cm is the hammer , over 75cm is dream koi im gutted you 2 are so far away im over near newark
I’m not having a go at anyone in particular but this “mates only” club that exists in the hobby is one thing I hated when I kept koi. If yo weren’t in “the know” you had no chance of getting hold of really good fish. There was also the habit of over pricing fish. I know because I witnessed it on more than one occasion. Having said all the above I would really love to have another pond but there is still that tiered system in the hobby. Sorry but I had to say what I did.
Well mate his pond is something special mate I think it’s great both got different things I like but that’s what the hobby is all about I really like Lee he is a sound guy and made us very welcome
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 No doubt he was a nice person and he is really into the hobby and has great koi. Cant wait to see your new addition , will you start off with small koi on new pond. Either way I'm sure it will be amazing .
That was a fun video & some beautiful looking koi!
I can’t wait to see what you’re going to put in your new growing pond!
It’s anticipation time eh mate!
Thank your mother for the rabbits & shout out to Mrs whisper for making tea & coffee

I recognised that pond from the thumbnail.

A magical meeting of minds... COME ON NOW THEN!!!
Brilliant 👏. Doesn't Lee talk 😅. Great flog buddy 👍 Amazing Koi Lee. I did hear what he paid for one 😮😮! Two famous TH-camrs together ❤️ bloody brilliant 🔥.
Glad you enjoyed it mate was great fun to film it as well
@@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123 It was bud! I like to see Lee's pound one day as well. Watched Lee from the beginning like yourself. Happy days. The hammer 🔨 👌
If you said you was in my neck of the woods could of called in for a waggon wheel lol 😄👍

Makes me realise how everyone's own fish are as good as these imo
Lets Have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea she would lol
When the weather warms up i am going to measure my gin rin akame karasigoi
Does anybody keep Sturgeon
I had one years ago I do like them
Some would have done it. And did at mine the year before last someone cleared me out if it wasn't for me grandchildren I would have not gotten more fish . As I'm on a buget I'll get there once again.
What do you need mate I can have a look round and try and help you out

James your pond blows away the koi soldier away. He needs to learn a few tricks from you.
Well mate his pond is something special mate I think it’s great both got different things I like but that’s what the hobby is all about I really like Lee he is a sound guy and made us very welcome

@@pasqualemastroviti912 it’s okay to be wrong sometimes
You wait until you go to see jack the balding reefer now they are some beautiful koi he has as well
Why do you have a Bakki shower and an Oase filter at the same time? Is the Oase just for show while the Bakki does the heavy lifting?
