			<description>&#60;p&#62;There are a lot of posts about this on offical wow-forums so i thought i'd make one here too.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A lot of people want the STV-achievement deleted from the Salty-title because its totally not what fishing is all about. And they are totally right in my opinion&#60;br /&#62;
And no, i'm not lazy. I have caught Ironjaw, Crafty, Mr Pinchy twice and doing the [The One That Didn't Get Away] now.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But the thing is: 52 sundays a year, let's say about 40 times that you can actually join and about 50-100 people joining every week (on my server).&#60;br /&#62;
That means if you join every week you should win after about 2 years and all fishers that caught one or more rare fish know that you can be lucky which can make you win in one try or very unlucky which could make you fish for 4 years without ever wining.&#60;br /&#62;
Other people have to work on sunday-afternoons and can never win the Salty title, and dont give me that shit: 'yea but people that want raid-achievements have to be online on raid-times too' because if you dont like the raiding-hours of your guild, just join another one that has good times.&#60;br /&#62;
And NO (again) the problem is NOT that these people dont want to use a lot of time for the achievements.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;All other fishing achievements can be done by just fishing alot and in prolly a month (thats a long time) you can catch all the other rare fish(wotlk not included, dont know the catch rates).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My idea's are:&#60;br /&#62;
Make the Stv-tournament happen more then once per week, because its just silly that it's only on one hour and only 52 times per year.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;or&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Delete the stv-tournament from the Salty-title and make a seperate title like: Master Angler, or something. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If people say that it's too easy now: add Crafty, Ironjaw, Giant Rat.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;No, i didn't win the tournament yet.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Please, tell me your opinion about this.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Ps: all the threads on official forums have been totally ignored, just as my gm post about it.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Looking back at how fishing skill had serious impact on your chance to catch something, I question why Blizzard has included BoP one hour lures that grant you +100 skill (&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46006&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - Glow Worm.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;Glow Worm&#60;/a&#62;). Sure they might be very useful for leveling your fishing, but when you're at 450 skill you might as well want to vendor them. At least I did so with some of my lures, but then I decided to save them, in case Blizzard makes them normal lures some time in the future and I will be able to sell them at AH/transfer them to my alts.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In vanilla WoW days you had to have maximum fishing skill and had to use best fishing gear and lures available, so you could fish in Bay of Storms for money. In TBC you had to be well geared too to be able to catch fishes in Terokkar's lakes. Now in WotLK you need a maximum skill and a 75 lure to be able to catch all fishes you need for &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43015&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - Fish Feast.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;Fish Feast&#60;/a&#62;. Zones that require you to have more than 525 skill don't actually provide better fishes. How many of you actually made more than one &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43478&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - Gigantic Feast.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;Gigantic Feast&#60;/a&#62;?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I only need to win STV Extravaganza now for my title (got as close as 39 fishes so far) and I'm wondering what I will do after that. Sure it might be fun for some people to win the contest twice for both the trinket and the pole, but I don't feel like doing it twice and making it harder for other people to get the title. Compared to the Undying title I have, Salty requires much more work and patience, as losing the contest several weeks in a row when you thought that you are about to win it, is really sad. Well, at least I can spend the rest of the contest time to fish for money and possible rare catches (got only one &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19971&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - High Test Eternium Fishing Line.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;High Test Eternium Fishing Line&#60;/a&#62; so far, so saving it for an &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19970&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - Arcanite Fishing Pole.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;Arcanite Fishing Pole&#60;/a&#62; I hope to win someday).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Overall fishing in WotLK seems uninteresting. Yes, I can make money by selling Fish Feast, as I have about 1k+ &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43007&#34; title=&#34;Wowhead - Northern Spices.&#34; class=&#34;nocolor&#34;&#62;Northern Spices&#60;/a&#62; on my main char, but I want some excitement from the profession. I got all possible achievements, except for the one mentioned above and I want more. Maybe some really hard stuff like catching all those fishes, that got away. That would keep me busy for some time or catching 100k fishes, which isn't hard, but sure takes more time to get, than 1k for the title. I still have to see fishing rings and some of the rarer TBC fishing drops, such as crocs (make it an achievement too, come on), but all in all every time I think about fishing in WotLK, I get excited and then in a second I tell myself  &#34;Wait, there is nothing interesting to do actually.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm not an angler, just a fisherman, a sissy by someone's standards as I didn't bother to level my fishing skill to maximum until WotLK arrived, but after that it became a way to pass time in game without mindless killing or farming reputation or whatever.

			<title>Lyps on "Achievements and/or Feats of Strength Past 1000 Fish"</title>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;It seems kind of silly that there are no achievements and/or feats of strength past the 1000 fish mark. It will likely take mostly people 10k+ casts to get all the current fishing achievements, and even then some people just like to fish for fun and/or money.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Most other achievements that track your progress on an unending count (i.e. honorable kills) max out at much higher levels (100k kills), and it's really cool to still have something to aim for once you've completed all the other achievements related to a specific skill or subarea of the game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It just seems that 1000 fish is such a silly mark, and since they track your fish caught in the statistics tab anyway, why not implement achievements at the 5k, 10k, 25k, and maybe even 100k mark? Surely some people will hit those numbers over time, so why not give them some recognition for doing so?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hopefully Blizz is planning to do this already and just hasn't prioritized it since not many people are over the 10k mark yet anyway.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What do you guys think? How many fish (and other things) have you caught so far?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Me, I'm only at the 6k mark, but I still have a couple rare fish to catch and just haven't had the time to sit down and grind them out.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hey El, how about a poll that asks people which of the above marks they've reached (1k, 5k, 10k, 25k, etc)? I'd be curious to know where most other anglers stand at this point.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;As mentioned on the &#34;Achievements&#34; page here at El's Anglin, several (seventeen, to be exact) fishing-related achievements are so far planned for Wrath of the Lich King.  Many are not yet finished but will be fleshed out as Beta unfolds.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was fortunate enough to be invited to Beta recently and, like any good (obsessed) angler, one of my first acts was to try fishing.  Sadly, there are no new &#34;fishable&#34; fish yet in the game.  There is a &#34;northern barb fish&#34;, which is the objective of a two-part quest where the first part involves literally banging on stuff that looks like seaweed until one of three things pops out: an undead spy, a crab, or the barbed fish.  You then get pulled into combat with whatever popped out.  It's reminiscent of the Terokkar &#34;Taken in the Night&#34; quest where you have to free people from spider cocoons.  In other words, not very fun.  It took me a while to do the two-part series and there wasn't even a fun item reward.  It was just around 4 or 5 gold per stage.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As also indicated here on El's Anglin', there's also a Northern Salmon quest fish, but I haven't done that quest yet.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Going back to achievements, some of the most interesting achievements tie into Burning Crusade.  There are two Mr. Pinchy achievements: one for getting his pet, the other for fishing him (or one of thirteen other rare fish).  Oddly, the &#34;Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box&#34; achievement does not automatically light up the &#34;The Deadliest Catch&#34; achievement, although you obviously need to catch Mr. Pinchy to get his box.  I submitted a &#34;bug&#34; suggestion regarding this.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There is also an achievement relating to the Old Man Barlo fishing quests.  If you've done all five of them, this achievement lights up.  This achievement was lit up for me immediately upon entering Beta without having to do them all again.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The most interest achivement of all, though, is connected to the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.  There is a &#34;Master Angler of Stranglethorn&#34; achievement but, frustratingly, it does not currently check to see if you've already won the tournament.  It did not light up for me, despite me having in my possession and using both of the rewards available from the tournament.  There are other achievements in the game that check for possessed items, though.  For example, I got a &#34;Feat of Strength&#34; achievement because I have a really old, no longer available, epic mount in my bank.  If the game can look for such an item, it can clearly look for others like bind-on-pickup tournament victory items.  Hopefully, this will be fixed as Beta progresses.  I submitted a suggestion on this, too.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;That's about all there is to report on fishing in WotLK so far.  I haven't even found a Grand Master fishing trainer yet, and I don't expect to see one soon.  As we all know, fishing is never near the top of the developers' to-do lists, so it will likely be a while before fishing pools and new fish make it into Beta.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As they do, though, I'll keep you updated.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Happy fishing!&#60;br /&#62;
Itty, Stormreaver

			<description>&#60;p&#62;So, I got my attunement on how to fish Lurker solo 2 days ago (10/14), and I want to share with you. :)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You fish Lurker Below in Serpentshrine Cavern. If you haven't cleared any trash there, you will be attacked by Frenzies once you swim in the water there. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What you will need:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- Elixir of Water Walking&#60;br /&#62;
- Noggenfogger Elixirs (bring a lot)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you're a Mage, you can use Slow Fall instead of Noggenfogger, if you're a Priest, you can simply use Levitate.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Get to SSC (you'll need a raid group), you'll be here after taking 2 elevators.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071518408.jpg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071518408.jpg&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Take the Water Walking Potion and start spamming Noggenfogger until you get the Slow Fall effect, then drop to the water. Why? Because, when you take a Water Walking potion, water will be treated as floor. And you'll drop from somewhere high enough to take fall damage, and remove the water potion effect. If you get to swim in the water, you're dead.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Once you land in the water, start walking to Lurker's platform.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071544495.jpg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071544495.jpg&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Lurker's Platform looks like a debris with a giant shining pool on the center, you can see an overview here:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071639135.jpg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://xs132.xs.to/xs132/08424/wowscrnshot_101508_071639135.jpg&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
Beware to not fall in the water, Water Walking Potions bug a lot for me.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here's the screenshot of me getting the achievement.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08424/lurker302.jpg&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08424/lurker302.jpg&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And that's it! Unlike fishing Gahzranka, you don't get saved to SSC if you fish Lurker. But be sure to fish it naked, or else you'll take some unwanted durability hits ^_^&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry for the bad english. Hope this is useful to you.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;The latest version of the One That Didn't Get Away achievement has removed &#34;Baby Coralshell Turtle&#34; and &#34;113 Pound Swordfish&#34; (possible Northrend catches) and replaced it with a different unknown, &#34;Dark Herring.&#34;  Maybe it's a red herring?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Pre WOTLK, i played a warlock, and basically completed every fishing achievement, got every rare item, and had total maxxed out fishing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I rerolled death knight for wrath of the lich king, and basically i've been avoiding fishing for months, because the thought of going for those rare drops, mr. pinchy, trying the fishing contest again, it was just too daunting for me, I couldn't bear the thought of going through it all again. I trained fishing in december after levelling, and fished up old crafty in orgrimaar by using the crocolisk in the city quest trick, but apart from that i hadn't even picked up my rod.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This sunday - i had nothing to do, so i took a deep breath, and thought to myself - i'll make a start. I started fishing in ironforge trying for old ironjaw - got 200 fishing and nothing. Looked at the time and saw it was an hour till the fishing competition - and thought to myself - i may as well go and see if i can get myself some boots or a hat.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I got to stranglethorn vale, and had a quick look for a pool of junk to get the find fish book since it makes it easier - found one, got the book, set my hearthstone in booty bay and got started. I have NEVER been so lucky with tastyfish schools. As the contest started, i had 4 pools around me right at the start, every catch was a tastyfish, and within 20 minutes, i had my 40 fish, hearthstoned, and won the competition with 215 fishing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Now - i was pretty happy at this point, having completed what i thought would be the toughest hurdle on my first attempt. I went to nat pagle, took and completed the artisan fishing quest, and then went back to ironforge expecting to max out fishing while getting ironjaw. 10 casts later - ironjaw was in my inventory.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Realising there wasn't much more I could do, i went and levelled fishing a little bit in stormwind, to see if i could get a 1 ring. This was the only point that I was unlucky - i got to 315 fishing, no ring. But i wasn't that bothered - there was no related achievement so it didn't really matter.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I went to bed on sunday happy, not much more to say than that.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Monday night i was busy with my guild in Naxxramas, finally got 'The undying' title in naxxramas and my new 310% speed mount. Didn't really have time to do any fishing, but i decided that since i had tuesday free i would try to do some more constructive fishing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Tuesday - I started dalaran coin fishing. With 315 fishing. I had to go down into underbelly and get underbelly elixirs quite regularly, which was a royal pain. I probably spent 3 hours in total, but by 1am i had every single coin - i got the three achievements in a row, didn't even have to wait long for my last gold coin.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Wednesday morning - I decided to go and fish some highland schools in the morning before work. Third pool i fished in - first cast - was a Mr. Pinchy. First use gave me a magical crawdad pet. I went to work happy, and when i came home from work - I decided to try for 'The one that didn't get away', it being the only hard fishing achievement i had left.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I spent maybe, 20 minutes in total fishing in pools of herring before i got the dark herring - at this point i was in utter disbelief. I spent the rest of the night cleaning up all the easy fishing achievements, and now i'm just missing one daily quest for Old Man barlowned before i get my salty title. I managed to catch up with my old fishing main in just 4 days of fishing, with minimal effort.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Has anyone else ever been incredibly lucky like this? I just had to share it because i'm honestly still in disbelief. Here's my armory, you can check the date of the achievements: &#60;a href=&#34;http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Jaedenar&#38;#38;n=Zimm&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-achievements.xml?r=Jaedenar&#38;#38;n=Zimm&#60;/a&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Has anyone caught more than one (different) fish that meet criteria for &#34;One that didn't get away&#34;?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was wondering if, after you've already earned the achievement, a second, different fish would color in in the window for the achievement?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'll find out eventually when I get that elusive dark herring, but I wanted to know (for personal accomplishment) if it would be possible to eventually get them all filled in.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;This achievement is driving me mad! For a week now, I've only needed Thrall's Gold Coin. I have Silver in the City and Penny for your Thoughts completed since last Friday. Since then, I've fished at least 30 minutes every day in the damn fountain, sometimes an hour, and that last coin still refuses to drop! I think I've spent as much time fishing just for the last coin as I spent fishing for all the others.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Anyone else in this situation? Argh!

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I just recently found this site after seeing it many times over the years in comments on wowhead and allahkazam. I must admit I'm impressed, I was not expecting a bunch of number crunchers and theorycrafters.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've been steadily working on my fishing achievements and my salty title (cant wait :P)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I attempted the Extravaganza today for the third time in two years and actually won! Got my fishing pole and debating about going again next week for the trinket. This win got me 2 achievements away from my salty title.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Best advice I can give anyone for the extravaganza is don't play nice and dont be greedy!  If you find yourself at a pool with others joining you, leave asap. If you get a chance to snake the last fish from a pool do so. There was a point where I had four other people joining the pool I was at and I mounted after the first cast, which happened to be the last.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Just a few hours ago I got my 15 pound mud snapper from Eversong Woods outside the gates to SMC on my 2nd cast (note: this was after the 1000+ casts in stonebull lake) thus leaving me one achievement away from salty.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am really dreading trying to find the mr. pinchy pet, but he cant be that bad seeing as it took a friend of mine ~5 pinchys to get the lil bugger.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;So I've been grinding at all the Fishing Achievements for quite some time... I'm down to getting 4 Gold Coins, and finally beating the STV content (haven't done it yet, but I have high hopes for Sunday.)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Next, of course, is getting my own Giant Rat. This will be my last Fishing Achievement.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My question is, then... What's left after that?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What other cool thing can I do with Fishing? I don't really feel like, say, fishing all the rare fish in One that Didn't Get Away... I'm wondering if there are pets I could find that I've somehow skipped.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Any suggestions? By the way, I don't have the crocolisk pets yet, but I keep doing the daily anyway as I have yet to get the darn hat.

&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;By the way, maybe El should fix so that the &#34;One that didn't get away&#34;-achievment is shown as an accomplishment here on the site? ... Waddya say?
&#60;/p&#62;&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm planning to add a few more catches to the forum profile &#34;WoW Aquarium&#34; when WotLK goes live. But, I need to rethink the way they are displayed. Since they are &#60;em&#62;your profiles&#60;/em&#62;, it's only fair to ask how you think I should tackle the issues:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;ol&#62;
&#60;li&#62;The list of catches is getting rather long and cluttered to be displayed with each post: I'd like to keep the forum focused on the content of the post itself, while still allowing some character information to be displayed. One solution may be to only display icons against forum posts.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;In the past we've talked about listing every fish (a bit like Breanni's pet collecting), but that felt like over-kill. When the forums opened there were only a few really hard achievements listed, but I felt that there should be a wider variety, so that everyone had a reasonable chance at getting something to show their anglin' expertise. How rare or special should catches be?&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;li&#62;If achievements are added to the official Armory, it should be possible to automate them based on the character information you add (although we might need 101 character slots to keep everyone happy). However, not every notable catch is an achievement. Plus adding catches yourself gives you a bit more control - for example, the ability to show a fish caught before patch 3.0.2.&#60;/li&#62;
&#60;/ol&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thoughts? Anything else? Keep in mind that a lot &#60;em&#62;can&#60;/em&#62; be done here, but there is a trade-off between displaying lots of the information, and trying to maintain a smooth-running, easy to read, forum.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hello Folks.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I am four points away from 375. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And I don't have a single fish yet in the Rare Fish Achievement. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;How did you get them? I have been fishing like mad since I hit 70. (Middle of last week) and at various locations. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've been trying to get lightning eels but no such luck lots and lots of other fish. So far all I've got the seemed rare was a 23 pound redfin snapper. But that wasn't in the list. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Let me know.&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;The &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.elsanglin.com/achievements.html&#34;&#62;fishing archievements&#60;/a&#62; require catching a certain number of fish. Unfortunately, not everything you catch is counted as &#34;a fish&#34;: The achievement does not count &#34;other items&#34;.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It is becoming clear that some things we thought were fish are not fish. I think it would be helpful if we could gather information about what is counted as a fish, and what is not. So if you watch your catches carefully, please use this thread to post what you find is counted as a fish and what is not counted as a fish. Hopefully we will quickly see a pattern, without having to &#34;test&#34; every catch.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Are any of you guys have trouble with fish caught?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;In the Achievements Summary:  It says:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Fish and other things caught:  662&#60;br /&#62;
Fish caught: 378&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But I've really only been fishing in non-pools, so I know about 95% of the stuff I've caught is really fish.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was tracking for the achievement 500 fish.  Logged off at 450 fish.  Logged back on, and I was at 360 fish.  LOL .. things a mess.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also, Mr Pinchy seems be be granting unlimited wishes at the moment.  He's still on cooldown, but he's not dropping below 3 wishes.  :-P

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Yo.  Like a ton of people here, I left the two most annoying fishing achievements for last: 1k fish and catching a rare.  I'm sure most of the readers here have done both already several times over, so we're just looking for a quick way to get it out of the way.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Anyway, the achievement interface lets you monitor progress on achievements.  I turned it on for my fish count, since I was noticing it was going a bit slow.  Lo and behold, I'm getting around half of my fish counted.  I thought it might be that alchemy reagent fish weren't get counted, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  It's just indiscriminately ignoring half of what I pull up, and all fish seem to be affected.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is it just me or is anybody else getting this?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Oh, and I'm not experiencing any particular lag on my realm at the moment.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey.  I remember reading about an achievement that would be rewarded to the first person to reach 450 fishing on a server.  I no longer see it around, though.  Has it been removed?
