Just got it one day when I was fishing for fun &amp; profit. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/the-one-that-didnt-get-away-miracle#post-8859 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:44:13 +0000 Cam 8859@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>So after using this website for months, I decided to join as of a few minutes ago after what seems like a miracle just happened to me that I'd like to share with you all. </p> <p>I am working on gaining my Accomplished Angler &amp; Salty title. I only had 2 Achievements left as of about an hour or so ago. Of course, the 2 most difficult: Master Angler Of Azeroth &amp; The One That Didn't Get Away. I decided I was going to start working on The One That Didn't Get Away today seriously after reading the strategy on here involving the Dark Herring schools. I've only ever even half-assed tried for 1 of these rare fish maybe once for an hour or so in Elwynn Forest, trying for the 15 lbs Mud Snapper. I saved in Howling Fjord's Inn earlier this morning before logging off to watch some TV for a bit while I ran some scans on my computer. I logged back in a little while ago &amp; started fishing. I found 2 pools of Fangtooth Herring right next to each other on each side of the bridge located on the river directly North of Valgarde. I fished the 1st pool with no success &amp; started on the 2nd, I almost crapped my pants when before the 2nd pool was even gone, I saw Green Text &amp; Dark Herring. Then the Achievement popped up on my screen &amp; I was absolutely dumbfounded. I just managed to catch a 1/10,000 fish in less than 10 casts!? (Not including my little sojourn in EF before) </p> <p>I just had to share this unbelievable story with all of you &amp; get your thoughts opinions on it. Am I just that rediculously lucky or what? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/howling-fjord-whisper-gulch#post-3675 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:06:36 +0000 Luiniel 3675@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Strangly this subzone seems to get the coastal fish, but the inland pools -- I was fishing a Fangtooth Herring pool but when I missed I got a Rockfin Grouper and a Borean Man O'War.</p> <p>The coast just outside it however is marked 'Howling Fjord' so gets the coastal pools and the inland fish ! </p>
