Dark Herring...Caught
hominids, February 2009:
The Dark Herring was caught in a fangtooth herring school in Winter's Breath Lake.
palanthiel, February 2009:
Wanted to add that I also caught it at this location, in a school.
Faderaven, February 2009:
I caught this fish in a Fangtooth pool also. Was going to do Stonebulll but decided if it was going to be long and painful I might as well get a nice weapon...got it after about 50 casts! That was a nice change....
Eltressa, February 2009:
I got this the other day from a Fangtooth pool in north Howling on my first cast. Since I was only there for the Northrend Angler achievement, it was a nice surprise. Especially since I haven't had any luck at all with crafty/ironjaw/giant rat/mr pinchy/etc >_>
