Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 3 years ago:Been going for Crushfish and seeing how many times I've seen "got it after a couple casts in South Shore" I thought I'd update you on my stats thus far in South Shore:
Rainbow Fin Albacore: 64.6% (1473)
Oily Blackmouth: 23.8% (542)
Firefin Snapper: 10.0% (227)
Small Locked Chest: .7% (15)
Message in a Bottle: .5% (12-2 Day 4 Diary Pages)
Waterlogged Crate: .5% (11)
2280 casts, and still no luck BUT I WILL NOT QUIT!
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 3 years ago:Well since the new fishing achievement "One That Didn't Get Away" came out I decided to return to my Crushfish search. Waited for Fishing Buddy to get updated for new patch (WoLK) and here are stats thus far:
Rainbow Fin Albacore: 62.5% (1830)
Oily Blackmouth: 24.9% (730)
Firefin Snapper: 10.8% (317)
Small Locked Chest: .6% (17)
Message in a Bottle: .6% (17)
Waterlogged Crate: .5% (15)
No luck yet, but will keep u posted.
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 3 years ago:I GOT HIM!!!!!!
Rainbow Fin Albacore: 62.4% (2135)
Oily Blacksmouth: 24.8% (849)
Firefin Snapper: 11.1% (378)
Waterlogged Crate: .6% (21)
Small Locked Chest: .6% (20)
Message in a Bottle: .5% (16)
STEELSCALE CRUSHFISH: 0.0% (1)
If you take these stats (3420) and add first posts (2280) you get 5700 exactly.....so I would say at best guess the 5000-6000 cast rate is about right in Southshore.
Gummo <The Pacifist>, 3 years ago:And you have (and log out with) TWO Hooks of the Master Anglers?
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 3 years ago:hahaha I wear my fishing gear 24-7, Im a fisher not a fighter!
i do not have all the stats and % of things caught. but i do want to confirm Crushfish was caught off the south shore dock. open water (not a pool of any kind). got lucky and only took me about 200 casts. one of my missunderstandings was in the pools. i thought this fish might act like the rockhide strongfish, and need to be fished from pools. nope! just good ol' open water fish'n. (another note enchants dont add color effect to this fish) :(
I have a similar story to the above.... caught the Crushfish in open water off the coast of Southshore (on the coast, not off the dock, but it is all the same area, fish-wise).
Caught it after about 200 casts. I feel so horrible for Marlburo! Those are the breaks with the RNG though... I'm sure Karma will pay me back when I go for my Sea Turtle.
I have a screen shot with the FB stats... I'll post that up tonight.
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 1 year ago:lol no worries my man.....i NEVER feel bad about someone catching a fish....especially after my 22 lobster story....its somewhere on here, unreal!
Congrats though, finally tax season is winding down and I'm getting back into the world....just checking my favorite wow website to see whats been going on with fishing these days. Good to see people are still fishing for crazy stuff like this!
EDIT: trokair, I see you're on lightninghoof I have/had a fishing guild <Poles Before Trolls> I'll get in touch with you in game once I get my account squared away.....if you want to see how crazy we were/are about fishing look up a post called "Ultimate Fishing Video?" Pretty wild, look forward to speaking with you!
Marlburo,
Is that a Horde guild? Unfortunately I'm alliance... but always interested to speak with a fellow fisherman if you have an Alliance character.
I'd love to hear the 22 pound lobster story as well.... as of last night I am 1,000 casts into the Bay of Storms. I have a 15 pound lobster and an 83 pound mightfish to show for it.... but no 22 or 103 (respectively), which is obviously what I'm going for.
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 1 year ago:oh yeah i was wondering what that -A after the realm ment lol. Yeah im horde....i coulda sworn i posted a pic and story about that lobster but musta been somewhere else. I'll throw it in the thread for that. Right now im a little devastated because my fish museum got 90% wiped out.....got a ticket open, hopefully they can restore the rest of it.
What happend to your museum?
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 1 year ago:man i took a break and when I came back a couple days ago I found out my account got hacked...../sigh
Marlburo,
My sister has a few Horde on LH... she does fish occasionally. She mentioned this weekend that there was "A Horde guild that specialized in fishing... poles and trolls or something".
I said, "That's my man Marlburo with Poles Before Trolls!".
She a rogue that goes by Urimaku or something. She always has these weird names I can't pronounce. I'll find out what her name is and hook you two up.
Good luck on getting the museum restored! I'm sure it will be no issue... they're usually good about that sort of stuff.

I am very sorry to hear your account got hacked...surpised the password was still the same...BUT anyways *pulls out a milk crate to lecture from ontop of:
" Change your password!! buy a authenticator !! Oh-My-Gawd !! " hehehe
I actually had something similiar happen, was not an account hack, cause i gave it to my brother in law - however, after 6 months he still was not paying for the account, so I took it back to find my toon in Rachet, in front of the bank, completly naked, and with nothing at lvl52. ((Two hordies rode past and did and did the /lol at me. but look at me now !!
I am all authenticatored up, I have 7 of the 11 glacial bags I am trying to aquire for my bank/and bags, mostly full all the time...plenty of junk is my point.
Sorry...had to do it. I wish someone had done it to me a long time ago.
*puts milkbox away and is now quite*
Al <Salty>, 1 year ago:Marlburo, I sure hope your museum is restored!
Marlburo <Extremely Salty>, 1 year ago:fully intact + all the items not yet in my old video....when I get the 3 "one that didnt get away" fish I still need a new, more insane video will be posted.....stay tuned
Al <Salty>, 1 year ago:Glad to hear that everything has been set right!
