Win -- Yuuuuuuup Effective Fishing Skill -- Cata Max (525) plus Hat, Boots & Bone Pole = 568 (Interesting enough I forgot to put a lure on my pole, not even the free Weather Beaten Hat bonus. Very Interesting to me.) Faction -- Horde Successful Casts --23 Pygmy Suckerfish Caught -- 12 Where Shark Caught -- Southern Howling Fjord. Start at the lift and move East. I caught the shark on an iceberg right east of where the Alliance Boat cuts through the opening into the Fjord. Turn-In Time -- 2:09 Anything Unusual -- I guess just that I didn't end up using a lure, or that I didn't use my Arcanite pole. Used my Dal Ring to get back quickly. Also a 1:09 catch is rare, not as rare with Cata out and less people doing the tourny (I think) but still have been seeing 2:05 and 2:06 wins lately. And today was the day where I actually thought about changing my fishing spot, since I've been doing Southern Howling Fjord for most of the past year. Craziness.

I saw one other fisher, normally there are 2-3). I usually stuck to the Fort Wildervar lake in Howling Fjord, been fishing there for weeks due to low population.

I camped out at lake side but forgot time and logged in at 1359. I was really badly lagged out so when I gated back to Dalaran It the gate screen took forever so I was crapping myself that someone would beat me to it. I hit sprint and shot out of the inn to the hand in point and due to my lag the Kulak guy had not loaded in so i was crapping myself a second time waiting for him to appear. I stood there maybe 2 minutes talking to guild about winning the contest and as I was about to use my stormwind gate cloak someone turned up to hand in their shark.

There were quite a lot of people about, I've seen atleast 6, After fishing in 3 pools I moved down the river because I couldn't find any more pools. Was flying around for atleast 2 minutes when I found a pool and on the second cast I caught the shark. Just got very lucky! Have fished in the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza many times before but never won (got close twice) This was my first try at the Derby and I won!
