I'm on a spree to collect all of the Bloated/Weighted fish, and I had a few questions
Do these exist, really ?
Bloated Oily Blackmouth
Bloated Mightfish
Bloated Rockscale Cod
And if they do, where on Earth are they caught ?
[Fishing] Bloated/Weighted Fish : questions!

Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 2 years ago:
no such things as the fish you mentioned, however bloated fish do exist and they are VERY rare. bloated catfish, bloated giant sunfish, and bloated mud snapper I have caught myself....as for the remaining 4: bloated redgill, bloated salmon, bloated smallfish, and bloated trout I have yet to catch. I'm hoping when I make a serious attempt at the weighted salmon and redgill I'll catch the bloated ones as well (thats how I got my current crop of bloated fish). That being said they are very rare, right up there with the top weighted fish so good luck!
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 2 years ago:
Oh yeah...if you want to know where they are caught go to the "Fish" section of this website all the info is there...thanks el!
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 2 years ago:
Enarka: From memory those fish could be caught (pre-Burning Crusade), but I don't think those 3 bloated fish can be caught anymore. The items still exist, because some people collected them before they disappeared from the water. As Marlburo says, all the (non-quest) are very rare, so it is hard to be sure.
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 2 years ago:
Well, so far...
I've caught
Bloated Mud Snapper
Bloated Redgill
Bloated Catfish (opened it, trying for another at the moment)I simply wondered if the other were still around. The Mightfish I've never seen or heard of.

!
I just caught my Bloated Smallfish!
Yarr!
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 2 years ago:
5500 casts in Sun Rock Retreat. Heaps and heaps of fish, 17-22 Pounds Catfish.
No Bloated nor 32-Pound Catfish yet!
I'm not stopping, however. My collection requires them!
Also, two Darkwood Fishing Poles so far, on top of the other two I caught in the past ! Sold two of them for 450G each ._.
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 2 years ago:
Another 1000 fish. Nothing interesting, besides YET ANOTHER Darkwood Fishing Pole and eight weighted, unimportant fish.
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 2 years ago:
26 Pound =( It's über rare, but not quite what I'm looking for!
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 2 years ago:
I got my Bloated Catfish!
HELL YEAH !
Now to go for the Trout and the 32 Pounder!

Bloated Rockscale Cod is back on the 5.1 PTR, but only as a catch from the contest version of Waterlogged Wreckage pools in the Cape of Stranglethorn (and probably also Northern Stranglethorn). But be warned: Everything about these pools is buggy at the moment - they spawn too early in the day, they yield 2 fish/crates per catch, even their existence during the contest is suspect. But I'll leave the note here, just in case the bloated coastal fish are making a come-back in 5.1.
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 4 months ago:
Hey, El, have you even seen the Wreckages since 5.1? I've not seen any, only a lot of Mixed Ocean Schools!
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 4 months ago:
Yes and no: Based on the PTR, when the server initially starts up only Mixed Ocean Schools are generated. Wreckage pools only then appear as a proportion of respawns once other pools are fished. That said, I haven't fished much since 5.1 went live, so maybe something changed?
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 4 months ago:
Never mind! After 48 Mixed Ocean Schools, I got a respawn. It's heck of a low spawn rate now!
But I don't care. I want that Bloated Rockscale Cod!
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 4 months ago:
Well, good luck with that... I only ever caught one during testing, and I've no idea if the change went live. Please let us know if you catch it.
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 4 months ago:
Finally scored the Bloated Rockscale Cod =) Took me about 200~ Mixed Ocean Schools to get enough Waterlogged Wreckage to respawn.
/win!
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 4 months ago:
Great! Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder if there are now other bloated fish lurking in other pools?
Enarka <Salty Fishing Lady>, 4 months ago:
I really don't know; the only two others I still have yet to see are the following two:
http://www.wowhead.com/item=21243/bloated-mightfish
http://www.wowhead.com/item=21162The first is said to be "unavailable to players", and the second hasn't been caught, as you mentioned, for years. I'm not sure where I would start to find either of these. I would assume maybe the Bloated Oily Blackmouth could theoretically be found in Mixed Ocean Schools if anywhere, but anecdotal evidence from my 1200~ sample size almost makes me want to say it's not the case right now. It's a very small sample size though, and it's not really worth relying on.
I'll definitely go out to fish other types of wreckage since I have some spare time today, albeit I doubt I'll get anything. You really never know.
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 4 months ago:
ugh....back to fishing worthless pools....these in theory should drop during the tournament as well?
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 4 months ago:
I caught my original (PTR) Bloated Rockscale Cod during the tournament. But the chance will be lower, since 80% of all pool catches become Speckled Tastyfish during the contest.
