After 225 total fish taken from Stonebull :
132 x Brilliant Smallfish
88 x Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper
3 x 10 Pound Mudfish
1 x 12 Pound Mudfish
I got the 15 Pound Mudfish, finally !
This forum was very helpful, thanks for all your advices !!! Wish good luck for those who are going to try :)
Has anyone in the beta actually confirmed that the baby coralshell turtle is fished from northrend? because... you know... the "coralshell tortoises" and "coralshell lurkers" (both turtle models) are from azshara coasts...

No one has confirmed it in Northrend, but no one has confirmed it in Azshara either. The assumption is that thousands of fish have been caught in Azeroth and BC, and no one has found that baby coralshell. If someone caught it, the story would spread like wildfire. It's very unlikely it exists in the current game. Many people after the patch have fished thousands of catches out of Azshara and never seen the baby coralshell.
Has anyone caught the 15 pound mud snapper from Crystal Lake? I keep reading about Stonebull Lake.
I've caught 7 12 pounders and 12 10 pounders. No 15s so far out of Crystal Lake. Maybe a change in venue is in order?

Hi hello, thought I'd post a set of small data on my fishing luck past few days.
Been fishing in Azshara at the Bay of Storms.
Total catches roughly 3200 so far.
3x '7 pound lobster'
3x '9 pound lobster'
2x '12 pound lobster'
3x '15 pound lobster'
1x '19 pound lobster'
1x '70 pound mightfish'
Planning to keep going with Bay of Storms regardless of the possible better rates elsewhere, since getting that achievement by the biggest fish available (103 pounds, yeah!) is just my way of doing things. Obviously I might get unlucky and get the lobster first but hey, there's always that swordfish in Northrend to get later on... ;)
Ok giving up on Azshara! Counting 5600 and neither achievement catch yet, gonna go Winterspring instead so I can still laugh at people on general chat going on about the undead invasion.. ^_^
Just giving an updated list for those 5600 catches:
7x 7 Pound Lobster
7x 9 Pound Lobster
2x 12 Pound Lobster
3x 15 Pound Lobster
2x 19 Pound Lobster
2x 21 Pound Lobster
3x 70 Pound Mightfish
1x 92 Pound Mightfish

I've also been trying my luck at Crystal Lake, and have not seen it yet either with similar results as yours!
Over 1300 regular fish caught.
5 Minor Healing Potions
2 Bloated Smallfish
1 Burnt Cloak
5 Minor Mana Potions
16x 10 pound Mud Snappers
6x 12 Pound Mud Snappers
No 15 Pound Mud Snapper... Guess you can see this alliance character heading to stonebull lake!
/wave
P.S. Thanks for all input from devs and regulars! Its great work!
All right, I got it !
I was desperately trying to catch one of the rare fish in BoS and after 2300 fish, I got tired of it, considering the success with the 15 pound mud snapper.
So, I looked for the location of Stonebull Lake since I had no clue (always played Alliance) and after 63 casts, I got my 15 pound mud snapper.
Pure luck or ridiculously easier than BoS.
I am done with all Azeroth/OL fishing achievements. I am now waiting for Northend.
Good luck to you all.
What mod are yall using to track how many fish you got and all that? I'm at about 800 from Stonebull Lake and nothing yet.
Im in the same boat as you Krang.
From my earlier post I headed over to Stonebull Lake, and have been camped there for a good many hours now...
Im up to almost 900 fish with even more stupid 10 and 12 pounders, and still no 15.. ah well one of these days I guess!
FishingBuddy is the addon which will allow you to auto-recast the fishing pole with double right click and it has the neat statistics. :)
3000 casts in Stonebull Lake, none is a 15 pounder though.
12x 10 Pound Mud Snapper
12x 12 Pound Mud Snapper
The last 2 hours i didn't even loot one pounder. they sleep on a Sunday? Well think i leave it for now.
consider yourself lucky if u can catch any special fish below 1000 casts. Those achievements are insane.
Got my 15-pound Mud Snapper last night in Stonebull Lake, thought I'd post the statistics here:
It took me 1035 casts, and roughly 5 hours, but finally I got it.
605x Brilliant Smallfish
402x Raw Longjaw Mudsnappers
10x 10-Pound Mud Snapper
7x 12-Pound Mud Snapper
4x Minor Mana Potions
3x Minor Health Potions
1x Journeyman's Cloak
1x Cadet's Bow
1x Practice Sword (after only about 50 casts, heard they are quite valuable to some)
1x 15-Pound Mud Snapper
The fuck*ng unbelievable thing was that I got it on my 999/1000 fishes, the achievment, but as it doesn't count as a fish, I didn't get the 1000-fish achievment with it. Nonetheless, fucking divine. There is a Fishing-God.
Also, have any other had any problems with the achievment not counting all fish as fish, even though they are fish and not off-hands? I started at about 100 fish, but when I was done I had just got the 1000 ach. That makes about 100 fish uncounted for.
Amnon <Salty>, 3 years ago:I don't have fishing buddy to track my numbers, but my estimation is approximately:
500 catches in Hillsbrad
200 catches in Azshara
200 catches in Tanaris
3000 catches in Mulgore
Finally got my 15 pounder last night after going about an hour straight without fishing up any off-hands.
I think it's actually higher, since most persons who've fished in Azshara, for example, never got the biggest fish of it's kind, even after like 5k casts. Though I think it's not only in Stonebull Lake that the rate is high, I think it's just as high in any other starting zone, but that the 15 pound Mud Snapper has a much higher drop-rate than the other species. For example, there have been many reports of people who got their snapper in Crystal Lake, Elwynn Forest.

I probably had 500 casts at Stonebull Lake trying to catch the 15 pounder. I'm Alliance. I gave up fishing there as it sux to get there. So I switched to Crystal Lake, and probably caught in less than 100 casts. I dont' have exact numbers, as Fishing Buddy was not fixed for the new patch (3.0) 2 weeks ago. So YES .. you can catch at Crystal Lake!!!!
Got mine done, Stonebull Lake, took less than 150 casts, (3) 10 Pound Mud Snappers and (1) 15 Pound Mud Snapper ftw!

I've been putting off some other achievements to get this one done since it appears to be the most time consuming.
Yesterday I was making a comment in guild chat about how I had just hit the 3000 fish and other things caught mark. A friend of mine was fishing at the time too. He made a joke about how it'd be funny if he saw a rare fish before I did (can you see where this is going?). Not even 10 minutes later, he fishes up the 15 lb mud snapper. I couldn't believe my eyes! He was still leveling his fishing to 375 and had just barely hit the 250 fish mark. And here I am now at 3500 catches and still no rare...
I am at 1700 catches in Stonebull and 600 in Azshara (200 in misc. areas). I left Azshara because the offhand items appeared to be fished up a lot less frequently (though I have no idea if that's any indication of the lobster being rarer or not).
Good luck to everyone trying this. Hopefully your luck is a bit better than mine.
Small update - 6804 catches (with a 400 or so rollback) and the 15 lb mud snapper is mine. Good luck to everyone!
By the way, maybe El should fix so that the "One that didn't get away"-achievment is shown as an accomplishment here on the site? I mean, it seems harder to get than Old Crafty/Ironjaw for the respective factions. Waddya say?

I think el is waiting a little while in case Blizzard decides to nerf the requirement by increasing the drop rate.
