    Win: oh yeah

    ■ Effective Fishing Skill (include bonuses from gear/lures): 450 (+125) Weather-beaten Fishing Hat lure and arcanite fishing pole from STV tournament. I had hook of the master angler equipped also this time.
    edit: eternium line on the fishing pole

    ■ Faction: Alliance

    ■Successful Casts (count up the non-Suckerfish from the start of the contest until the shark catch): 20

    ■ Pygmy Suckerfish Caught (from the start of the contest until the shark catch): 8

    ■ Where Shark Caught (pool/water type and zone): pool in a river close to cauldrdros isle

    ■ Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater): 14:05 (5 minutes)

    ■ Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy): got it from my third pool.

    First time I tried for this contest, I fished for 40 minutes without a shark on the borean tundra coast. This time (second attempt at the contest), it only took me 5 minutes.

    Can't wait for a new fishing contest;)

    It also gave me 3000 rep points with the kaluak

  2. Cailleach <Salty>, 2 years ago:

    * Win: Just won today!
    * Effective Fishing Skill: 450(+135) Weather-beaten hat, Kalua'k Fishing rod and Glow Worm lure
    * Faction: Alliance
    * Successful Casts: I want to say about ~21-24
    * Pygmy Suckerfish Caught: ~9-11
    * Where Shark Caught: Grizzly Hills in the rivers heading towards the lumber camp. Glacial Salmon pools
    * Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater): It was about 7minutes
    * Anything Unusual: Not really, I just fished stuff I need for Fish Feasts and didn't have much competition along the streams. It was about my 4th pool and it's how I earned my Salty title!

    I did use an Elixir of Water Walking, just because it makes it easier to get the best casting angle on some of the pools in the streams.

  6. Feanor306 <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    Win : YES
    Effective Fishing Skill : Was about 390 at the time, used Bright bubbles(+75) and +5 fishing pole so i had 460 effective skill
    Faction : Alliance - Burning Legion EU 2nd(or 3rd) week after patch 3.3 on live realms
    Successful Casts : I fished 3 schools of Nettlefish in the River's Heart (Scholazar Basin), then I saw a school up the river that flows in the lake through a fountain, i think it's east from River's heart
    Pygmy Suckerfish Caught : 3-4
    Where Shark Caught : Scholazar Basin, School of Nettlefish close to River's heart
    Turn-in Time : 14:05-06 can't remember exactly

    Anything Unusual : I had no intention to participate in the contest whatsoever. I woke up that Saturday about 13:30, then logged in to wow . Around 13:55 I realized the contest was about to start so I instantly got a FP to River's heart just to try my luck. The contest started ~20 seconds before i landed, then i fished 2-3 schools of Nettlefish at the lake at River's heart, then i moved up to one of the rivers because i saw a school there and got the shark on the second cast in that school. HS-ed to Dalaran and won, took about 4-5 minutes total.

    Got the ring as a reward for my alts btw. :)

    * Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy)
    I used elixer of water walking in an are that has approximately 4-7 schools within walking distance (no need to mount). I fished east to west and caught the shark on the 4th pool, probably the last fish in the pool. I believe all pools were moonglow schools. I did not have my video set to lowest level so hearthing took a while and scared me. I chose the boots now have 603 fishing skill w/ lure.

  8. MalFunction <Salty>, 2 years ago:

    ■Win: yes
    ■Effective Fishing Skill: 450 + hat (5) + pole (30) + line (5) + lure (75) = 565
    ■Faction: Alliance
    ■Successful Casts: about 15
    ■Pygmy Suckerfish Caught: about 10
    ■Where Shark Caught: inland pool, Herring pools, Howling Fjord
    ■Turn-in Time: <10 min (was 8-9 min)
    ■Anything Unusual: Was shocked to get the shark before the 10 min mark. I got it from a pool which I could only see halfway because it was on a sloping area of an inland stream. I dont think that has anything to do with the catch chance, but just some extra info.

  12. Boba <Salty>, 2 years ago:

    *Win - YES!!

    *Skill - 450 + Kalu'ak pole + hat lure + water walking elixir

    Faction - Alliance (hearth to Dal of course) - Winterhoof realm

    Casts - not sure, 4th or 5th school of Imperial Manta Rays

    Where - Howling Fjord coast south of Kalu'ak village

    Time - about 4 minutes in

    Anything unusual - I guess I would say that the water walking elixir is a MUST. I think 4 of the 5 schools I fished were not fishable from land.
    Got the ring to round out my BoA gear. :)
    Just have to fish in Orgrimmar and catch a rare left for the title!

    EDIT: 2/1/2010 ---- Got the Dark Herring this morning and the Salty title!!!!! Woot!

  13. wooderino <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    Just won today on Ner'Zhul (US). Usually a pretty crowded PVP server I was shocked to actually win after weeks of not seeing a shark even fishing to the 1 hour time limit. Here are my details:

    * Win (yes/no) - YES
    * Effective Fishing Skill (include bonuses from gear/lures) - 490, 450 skill + 40 from gear
    * Faction (Horde/Alliance) - ALLIANCE
    * Successful Casts (count up the non-Suckerfish from the start of the contest until the shark catch) - 19
    * Pygmy Suckerfish Caught (from the start of the contest until the shark catch) - 10
    * Where Shark Caught (pool/water type and zone) - Nettlefish Pool in Sholazar ( I was just NW of the Nesingwary camp)
    * Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater) - 2:05 PM
    * Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy)

  14. runnerpadilla <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    * Win YES

    * Effective Fishing Skill 232+20 for 252 EFFECTIVE SKILL

    * Faction HORDE

    * Successful Casts 13

    * Pygmy Suckerfish Caught 11

    * Where Shark Caught GORLOC PUDDLE JUST OUTSIDE KASKALA, BOREAN TUNDRA

    * Turn-in Time UNKNOWN

    * Anything Unusual I STARTED OUT ON TWO NODES AT THE FRESHWATER POND NORTH OF WARSONG HOLD IN BOREAN TUNDRA. AFTER FISHING BOTH OUT, I NEEDED TO FIND A NEW LOCATION. I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOME IN KASKALA, SO HEADED THERE BY LAND. ON THE WAY, JUST OUTSIDE KASKALA, I SAW A NODE IN A GORLOC PUDDLE. FOUR CASTS LATER, I HAD THE SHARK. I WAS ONLY LEVEL 72 AT THE TIME. I AM AN AVID FISHER, BUT HAVEN'T REALLY PURSUED IT SERIOUSLY ON THIS PARTICULAR TOON. THIS WAS ACTUALLY MY FIRST TIME ATTEMPTING THE NORTHREND TOURNEY AND I ONLY DID IT BECAUSE I WAS NEXT TO A POND TO START.

  15. Eroiqua <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    I caught the shark (and won the contest) today on the Silvermoon US server. With it came the Salty title!

    • Win yes!
    • Effective Fishing Skill 483 (450 + Mastercraft Kalu'ak Pole + +3 line), didn't bother with lures because I only fished in pools
    • Faction Glory to the Alliance!
    • Successful Casts 15 casts across five pools
    • Pygmy Suckerfish Caught 5; I was getting worried at the start because my first seven casts caught no Suckerfish
    • Where Shark Caught Fangtooth Herring Pool at the southern tip of Cauldros Isle in Howling Fjord
    • Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater) Somewhere between 14:06 and 14:07, probably closer to the latter
    • Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy) Not really in the unusual category...but I'm happy I didn't lose because I stared at the shark with my mouth open for a few seconds before I snapped back into action and hit my hearthstone. As I was running to the turn-in, I saw someone else reach Elder Clearwater, but that person was either just curious about him or spent too much time thinking over the prize because that person was there a good 5 seconds ahead of me and I still won. In case anyone is curious, I chose the boots.

  16. Dioraymond <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    -Dio

  17. dangerbird <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Win yes!
    Effective Fishing Skill 480
    Faction Horde
    Successful Casts Sorry don't remember
    Pygmy Suckerfish Caught
    Where Shark Caught Imperial Manta ray pools on North Coast of Howling Fjord
    Turn-in Time (to Elder Clearwater) 7-8 Min
    Anything Unusual (for example, low level win or interesting strategy) Used walk on water, started at the top of the coast and worked my way down. The contest is usually over in under 10 min on my server, Scillia.

  18. undeadreaper <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    # Win- No
    # Effective Fishing Skill- 450+40+2+100+5+5+5+10 = 617
    # Faction- Horde
    # Successful Casts- 152 fish, 14 water, 6 boxes
    # Pygmy Suckerfish Caught- 105 suckerfish

    I decided to stay the entire hour and see if I could even catch a shark... none dropped. Started in Howling Fjord and when the winner was announced I went to Grizzly Hills for the rest. I feel that something needs to be done so that more experienced fisherman who maximize their lvl should have some kind of advantage, but that does not seem so.

  19. Chouchou <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    ■Win - Yes. Yay!
    ■Effective Fishing Skill - 565
    ■Faction -Alliance
    ■Successful Casts -14
    ■Pygmy Suckerfish Caught -8
    ■Where Shark Caught -Imperial Manta Ray Pool, Southern Grizzly Hills in Venture Bay
    ■Turn-in Time -4 minutes :)
    ■Anything Unusual -Picked this spot because of the other posts saying the frozen sea pools had seen bugs, less competition than in the starting areas for the pools and there were a ton of pools in close proximity.
    This was my first attempt at the derby after years of trying (with zero sucess) to win the STV contest. Can't believe I actually won the derby and so quickly!

  20. Wyzo <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    ■Win - Yes
    ■Effective Fishing Skill - 487 (450 + Nat Pagle's Lucky Pole, Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots, Lucky Fishing Hat, Enchanted Gloves - Fishing)
    ■Faction -Alliance
    ■Successful Casts -21
    ■Pygmy Suckerfish Caught -13
    ■Where Shark Caught - Moonglow Cuttlefish School in the Frozen Sea
    ■Turn-in Time - 7 minutes
    ■Anything Unusual - I can only effecgtively fish pools in the Frozen Sea because any attempt to do so anywhere else in Northrend usually results in drawing lots of aggro as I am only level 45.
