Has anyone done the research or math (percentages of non tastyfish in pools/how many pools it takes to get to 40) to see how many pools it takes to win the tournament? Estimates/facts within 1 pool would be useful. I'm thinking it would be around 11 but some empirical evidence would be nice.... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/first-stranglethorn-fishing-extravaganza-win#post-7474 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:33:42 +0000 Fantasma 7474@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Congratulations!</p> <p>I just won today after trying on and off for two years and every week for the past 4 months. I was shaking so hard that I almost couldn't turn it in! The best part was that after I turned it in, I was cheered by a guildie. He'd come all the way down to STV to surprise me if I won!</p> <p>It is truly a joy to say "I will NEVER fish in STV again!" </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/first-stranglethorn-fishing-extravaganza-win#post-7348 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:16:55 +0000 Shalura 7348@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Gratz! It took me almost 4 months to win too, after I decided I wanted it. And that was before all the achievement stuff so less competition. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/first-stranglethorn-fishing-extravaganza-win#post-7344 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:04:30 +0000 Gwardraal 7344@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Finally, FINALLY I won STV today (Thorium Brotherhood realm.) I've been working on it for months, and the last four attempts I got 37, 37, 39 and 39 Tastyfish. This time *everything* went right. </p> <p>My strategy is generally to park myself halfway between Grom'Gol and where the small rock outcroppings are to the south - I find a pretty good density of pools, and on my server at least most players seem to start at Booty Bay and work their way north so what pools do appear are all mine. This time when the contest started pools showed up everywhere. At one time I had four pools showing in a row on my minimap - it was faster to run to the next pool (with Aspect of the Cheetah on) than to mount up! I didn't see another soul until I was up to 35 Tastyfish. Talk about the adrenaline rush when you're up to 39 and the pool you're fishing gives out!</p> <p>I already had all the other Accomplished Angler achievements except for The Scavenger, so after winning I immediately went to find Schooner and Floating Wreckage and now I'm proudly wearing the Salty title. Now I just need to fish up Old Ironjaw in Ironforge to have every single fishing achievement :) </p>
