For it being a kamfa, that is an easy one to persuade people with

for it being a king, that is still subjective to the individual

for it being real, you don't have to use "real" to make yourself a believer.

whatever it is, it is a nice fish

im not making myself trying to believe,

ive gone thru so many 'kk' with koks that barely pop looking like hard kok, I finally found a piece with a water kok so in saying finally i found a 'real' one in my eyes. 5 Inches with a water kok like that will def. have a crown.

I feel you on that one bro Chris, i myself have gone through many KK's also. I guess if you want a water kok you'll have to deal directly with a private breeder.

Well you hit the nail on the head... bad pun. Anyhow yes spotting KK with water head is key.

If a good water head KK under 4" is spotted they are usually sold to friends of the breeder, showcased at a store to help sell off other KK stock, or sold in Asia for expensive price. Most KK I have seen for USA clientele via GBs, online shops, or AB are b grade (long body/hard head or semi water head). Some great ones make it here for sure with the help of friends, $$$, or luck. If you spot one with a water head already expect to pay good price. Now the tricky part is some KK will pop a water head rather late at 5-8 inches. Have to be patient. I assume you didn't keep all of your handfulls of KK to above 5"-8" or did you? Unfortunately almost all the KK I have seen sold in USA are b grade, so if you had many unsuccessful trials it is most likely due to only having available b grade KK. Also, remember KK get sifted through heavily. There are a few exclusive Thai & Viet buyers that get first picks from Thailand then after that they get spread around Vietnam... then to HK, SG, USA... some even go back to Thailand!

Look forward to your updates you certainly found a real KK with a real water head! grinning

sounds true, could be true, thats why im pretty exited about getting him,

here are a couple update pictures, few more weeks and he'll be with me.

Holder said his kok is down due to reduced space and it can get much bigger then his.

Looks like Thai KK - can't imagine y seller doesn't want to spread the word and being secretive about the source, especially for such high quality KK. Nice pick up bro! I like it very much.

nice updates there

this kamfa is going to get spoil until it reach the king status.

Lucky is so right. I just don't see why the American dollar has to play the last round draft pick when it comes to fh. Isn't the America dollar stronger over there them oversea markets?
