    Dark Herring has had the flame damage proc removed and is now 50 crit rating.
    No more flaming fish blasts =(

    Thanks - I missed that. The change is live on EU realms as I write, so happened before 3.0.9.

    granted i did not fish only in the right areas since they started keeping count i am at 7,473 and today i caught mr dark herring, at long last my title of salty has been achieved, i know i could have opted for easier caught fish i figured go for the hardest that way when it is caught you will feel such greatness like mr crawdad(whom i have had the pleasure of catching 8 times, and two total pets, the second could not load into pets bar sadly...), and to say it, yes I am very very elated to have caught such a fine fish. conundrum, sell or equip? i think as a rogue i have to enchant and equip. just for pvp purposes.
    well long story short i made rounds all over Howling Fjord today. ended up catching him in a pool at valguarde cords. 60, 61 .... to all those out there who love to fish and want a nasty fishy-fish mount up and hit up all the pools you can inland in the howling fjord.
    have a pleasurable time fishing!

    Just caught one today. :) Here's my statistics, but I've a few thoughts at the end:
    Fangtooth Herring: 30 (54%)
    Pygmy Suckerfish: 21 (38%)
    Bonescale Snapper: 3 (5%)
    Reinforced Crate: 1 (~2%)
    Dark Herring: 1 (~2%)

    Most of these were fished from the schools north of Skorn, but a few (~10 casts) were caught in open water.

    Thought I might add my observations, post 3.1.1. It appears as though the schools still have a higher chance to fish Dark Herring (comparing my statistics to the previous posts from other locations). My assumption is that Dark Herring is indeed fished instead of Fangtooth Herring, and therefore schools of fangtooth herring would theoretically give you higher chances, because you simply catch more fangtooth herring.

    The evidence is somewhat shown by virtue of the fact that most of my casts yielded one Fangtooth Herring, one Pygmy Suckerfish, while the catch with the Dark Herring still included a suckerfish, but with a Dark Herring and no Fangtooth Herring.

    ...Not to mention, fishing from schools also gives one a chance to catch the Sea Turtle, as well. You may as well fish from the schools anyway.

    Just my two cents. Obviously since this uses a small data sample, it's probably not the most reliable source, but I'm mentally combining the statistics I've seen of all anglers who fished from the schools vs other places like Valgarde.

    Fished last night out of Fangtooth Herring School in Howling Ford. Caught it in my 6th pool. Not tried for this achievment previously. Wish i had the same luck fishing up the other rares :(
