    wOOt! Happy to report, after hours of fishing the forlorn cavern (sorry, no addon to give numbers) the above described "catch & release" will result in the successful snaring of Old Ironjaw. :D

  2. Isa <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    I seriously lost count, but it got to be around the 1500-2000 before I got that ol' bugger.

  3. theonlymoose <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Ok, I must have a new record for catching Old Ironjaw - he was my 205th catch in IF. :oD I made sure that I had 3 bags totally empty for fish - didn't even start in on the 2nd bag when i caught him.

  4. ahazi <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    OMG my lucky day....got the one that didn't get away earlier, then did the Zul Gurub one...now just decided to do 100 casts in IF before bed...(almost 4am lol) and 4th cast....OLD IRONJAW!!!!!

    I should add that I got him in the mystic pool not forlorn cavern - all this time he been hiding!

    I have casted about 3000 times for him....off to Ogri now (I'm Alliance!)

    -----------EDIT-------------

    60 mins later and only 167 casts

    95 Longjaw Mud Snapper
    38 Bristle Whisker Catfish

    Old Crafty

    Happy girl goes to bed, counting bobbers!

    Just got this one.

    Fished in the Forlorn Cavern:
    214 Longjaw Mud Snapper
    81 Bristle Whisker Catfish
    44 Brilliant Smallfish
    2 Lesser Healing Potion
    1 Old Ironjaw

  8. StaTich <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    383 Raw Longjaw Mudsnapper
    153 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
    123 Raw Brilliant Smallfish
    1 17-Pound Catfish

    and it took me only 4hours oO and got ganked 4 times (as I am horde). At least I got my fishing skill at max.

  9. Arrowsflight <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Just caught... (in Mystic Ward)
    60 : 56.1% Longjaw Mud Snapper
    26 : 24.3% Bristle Whisker Catfish
    19 : 17.8% Brilliant Smallfish
    1 : 0.9% Bloated Mud Snapper
    1 : 0.9% Old Ironjaw

    I'd say less than 30 min I think?
    Total Casts: 125

  10. Balsymcgee <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    I'm working on Old Ironjaw now. I managed to fish up Old Crafty (Ally here) in a very reasonable amount of time (about 150 casts), and I got my 15lb Mud Snapper in under 500 casts. Now I'm on Ironjaw, and pushing about 350 casts so far - nothing yet.

    Not too bad for one days' work.

    lvl 80 troll shammy here...
    I started fishing in orgrimmar with the intention of fishing all the way to 450 there when I caught Old Crafty in prolly less than a 100 casts and got an achievement for it! So i started checking out the achievements and decided that I'd go for them all, so at 150 fishing skill I went to IF with the intention of getting Old Ironjaw. I equipped my santa gear from xmas so that allies would maybe laugh at me rather than kill me, and it kinda worked. I fished in IF from skill 150-224 (I didn't have a fishing count mod at this time) and just as I was about to get that last skill point and leave to dustwallow marsh, I found Old Ironjaw! woot! Now to get that 15 lb mud snapper ><

  12. Praanz <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Well I've dinged 450 Fishing today and still no luck.

    But more depressingly I was fishing the last 10 levels next to a guildfriend who did not only catch Ironjaw standing next to me - he caught him twice within 10 casts or so.

    Actually, he has caught him three times

    Check the bags down to right. Sigh!!!

  13. Praanz <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Right.

    This sad story just wasn't enough. From the time it took me to post the previous msg here and run to the Auction House to spend some gold on something useless just to make me feel better... guess what happens.

    Yes. He caught a fourth fucking Ironjaw.

  14. Utopia <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    Wow,either he is faking the ss,or he's secretly bumping digits with the Blizz RNG ;)

    I feel your pain...Old Ironjaw still eludes me too.

  15. Balsymcgee <Angler>, 1 year ago:

    Finally got him. Here's the data:

    1662 catches

    Longjaw Mudsnapper - 994 - 59%
    Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish - 379 - 22%
    Brilliant Smallfish - 278 - 16%
    17lb. Catfish - 3
    19lb. Catfish - 2
    22lb. Catfish - 1
    Lesser Healing Potion - 2
    Lesser Mana Potion - 2
    Old Ironjaw - 1

    The guy next to me said he had way more catches and still no Ironjaw.

    Now for the Rat.

  16. Azaguth <Salty>, 1 year ago:

    I caught Ironjaw on one char in the Forlorn Caverns, on another char in the Mystic Pool, and on my horde character in the Great Forge (yeah, he spawns IN the lava as well). Altogether about 5k casts for 3 Ironjaws.

  17. Lurgee <Angler>, 11 months ago:

    Caught him last night in the Forlorn Cavern as a horde,

    The data:

    110 Longjaw Mud Snapper
    40 Bristle Whisker Catfish
    34 Brilliant Smallfish
    2 Lesser Healing Potion
    1 Lesser Mana Potion
    1 Old Ironjaw

    ... I went to IF with the intention of getting Old Ironjaw. I equipped my santa gear from xmas so that allies would maybe laugh at me rather than kill me, and it kinda worked.

    Red or green? The last time I went to Orgrimmar to fish I wore the green Winter Clothes and carried only a red rose in the weapon slot and I still got ganked ... How much of a challenge is it to kill a pet-less, disarmed Hunter?

  19. Thalen <Salty>, 11 months ago:

    Finally!

    Feel the pain...

    Longjaw Mud Snapper: 1231
    Bristle Whisker Catfish: 466
    Brilliant Smallfish: 341
    Baby Crocolisk: 119 (not sure where those all came from :P )
    19 Pound Catfish: 4
    17 Pound Catfish: 3
    Lesser Healing Potion: 2
    Bloater Mud Snapper: 2
    Lesser Mana Potion: 2
    22 Pound Catfish: 1
    Gleaming Claymore of the Eagle: 1
    Soldier's Wristguards of the Bear: 1
    Old Oronjaw: 1

    Yes, 2174 catches (2055 if you discount the crocs)

    And so ends my fishing achievement run. Not a one left to do. Though, I don't have a Darkwood fishing pole...yet...

  20. UABMaddog <Angler>, 11 months ago:

    I have to admit that some characters are just lucky.....

    I created a character to sign some bank guild charters.....

    Decided to go ahead and level him a bit, and of course fish.

    Went to IF to level fishing.....hoping for Old Ironjaw (OIJ)....to 150.

    While fishing I was chatting with some fellow angler, and at 0130 server time I caught OIJ! Kept on fishing, since the goal was 150, and 23 minutes later....got him again. Took some time to post to another thread (I am the bonehead) about getting him twice.

    Back to fishing, and at 0208 server time, caught him for the third time!

    Unfricking believable. Guess he respawns fast on Sunday morning!
