The coordinates of my catch 55.8, 55.9

Total number of casts, 352.

After recently hearing that Stonebull Lake in Mulgore was a good place to fish for this, I decided to try it out. Sat down the first night and caught 100 fish, of which two were the 10 pound variety of this. I was quite annoyed, as anyone would have been. Second night, I went back to Stonebull and got it on my 128th cast. I also got a third 10 Pound Mud Snapper. Very odd.

So overall, it took me 228 casts, which seems to fit in with the range of numbers I've been reading lately.

Kommentar von Starkie

I was at 263 fishing, and about 710, give or take a few, fish caught on my way to the 1,000 fish achievement. So I thought I'd just knock both those out at the same time, (1k Fish and 300 fishing) but then I started thinking, well, where could I go to make getting the rare fish easier to? Bam, Goldshire, thought by the time I'd finished, I'd have all 3.

Wrong.

Now at 300 fishing and getting the 1,000 Fish. Here is what I fished up in goldshire.

Raw Brilliant Smallfish: 227

Raw Longjaw Mudsnapper: 125

Minor Health Potion: 1

Minor Mana Potion: 1

12 Pound Mudsnapper: 2

10 Pound Mudsnapper: FOUR, god damn...10 pound...mudsnappers.

Not one of those could have eaten a bit more? Gotten a little fatter, for me?

No...of course not.

My quest continues.

Goodluck in yours!

Kommentar von 258799

Okey, so I tried to get the achievement for catching one of the rare fishes. I am lvl 80 and havent maxed out my fishing skill yet so I was thinking of getting two in one hit. So I went to Crystal Lake near Goldshire and started fishing. Result:
187 Brilliant Smallfish
105 Longjaw Mud Snapper
3 Minor mana potion
1 10 Pound Mud Snapper
1 Simple Dagger
-no 15 Pound Mud Snapper-

And I didnt realise before that that I should fish here. Because all the other fish isnt worth squat. So I am off to fish for the Dark Herring or whatever its called.

Kommentar von TegG

Yey just caught mine after about 12hours of fishing, hade about 27X 10 pounds and 14X 12 pounders.
Caught it on what i said was going to be my last cast;)

Still got some more fishing to do...

Don't listen to anyone that claims any certain fishing pool has a higher chance than others -- it's BS. They all have the same chance to drop a pound fish, and each of those pound fish has a small chance of being max weight. Go to a pool in the zone that is easiest for you to reach.

Kommentar von Tyrsenus

15 Pound Mud Snapper can be fished from the inland waters of:

There are no reliable sources for its exact drop rate (as you can see, Wowhead doesn't even list it in fishing tables), but estimates place it between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 2000. There is currently a rumor on El's Fishing Forums that the drop rate is highest in Shadowglen, Teldrassil.

Kommentar von 25487

Fished in Mirror Lake, Elwynn Forest

48 Minutes of fishing yielded:
166 casts
92 Brilliant Smallfish
71 Longjaw Mud Snappers
2 10 Pound Mud Snappers
1 15 Pound Mud Snapper

Both 10 Pound Mud Snappers and the 15 Pound Mud Snapper were caught in the last 7 casts. I must have found their secret hiding place. =)

Kommentar von Noxisoft

After spending hours upon hours (over a number of days), I caught this in Shadowglen, Teldrassil. I have no recorded data to offer, other than what I recall when I began this hunt. I began with roughly 2,000 "Fish and other things caught" and, upon catching the , ended with 5,079. I reeled in many potions, 10/12-pounders and even an uncommon-quality weapon before finally receiving this item.

Just to shed some light on how random the RNG gods are, after spending a brutal 5-hour fish-off, I decided to log for a bit. After I logged back in shortly after and sinking my bobber only a few times, this little guy revealed itself.

Do not be discouraged. Many people only comment upon being lucky, making it out to be easier than it truly is. As you know, there is no solid data. When tackling (no pun intended) anything that's believed to be a .5% chance of success, patience is the only tool at your disposal.

Stillwhisper Pond... 2590 catches... still no fish.

...as I hate Hell, all Montagues and thee, 15 pound mudsnapper.

I switched to Stonebull Lake. 43 catches and I had actually said Eff this and was moving away from my computer and clicked the bobber 1 last time and DING! Catch 44. Hello Salty!

Kommentar von 307009

I was fishing 15 pound mud snapper in Teldrassil. I had fished over 1900 fish from that pond when the rare fish came up. I used to fish with fishing in number 1 and I looted the fish with shift-click. When 15 pound mud snapper came, my inventory was full and I didn't get the fish since I pressed 1 too fast without realizing what had happened... I contacted a GM but there was nothing he could do. So now I just have to get another 1900 fish from that lake...

Kommentar von ilostmahbucket

Data* from the first 20 pages of El's thread about this achievement. Hats off to El and all the other Extreme Anglers who posted their data to make this data crunch possible! My own attempt: 1/1550 in Shadowglen.

Summary:
Shadowglen: 0.104%
Crystal Lake: 0.047%
Stonebull Lake: 0.076%

Conclusion: There is only one thing more boring than this achievement: crunching all this data. May the luck of the Random Number Generator be with you.

Calculations:
Shadowglen: 37 successful catches of 15 Pound Mudsnapper/35607 total catches= 0.104%
35607 total catches by 46 people-25364 total catches of 37 successful people=10243 total catches of 9 people who were unsuccessful
Crystal Lake: 8 successful catches of 15 Pound Mudsnapper//16904 total catches=0.047%
16904 total catches by 15 people-5264 total catches of 8 successful people=11640 total catches of 7 people who were unsuccessful
Stonebull Lake: 27 successful catches of 15 Pound Mudsnapper/35616 total catches=0.076%
35616 total catches by 34 people-26067 total catches of 27 successful people=9549 total catches of 7 people who were unsuccessful

*Data was only taken from people who posted specific numbers on their success/failure for these three areas. Data was taken from El's Extreme Anglin thread: http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/one-that-didnt-get-away-achievement/

Note: 15 Pound Mudsnapper is not bind on pickup, it is auto-lootable.

I just got it in Mulgore after only 20 minutes of fishing. Combined with my 4 minutes of fishing for the Sewer Rat and I must be incredibly lucky.

Have tried both Teldrassil & Mulgore and no luck on either.

My suggestion for this is you get a good couple of movies and dual screen it up be prepared for a few lost weeks..

After seeing the posts here, I tried to fish in Crystal lake in Elwynn Forest.
I brought a friend, and we sat fishing.
After 3 hours and about 650 casts I got my 15 Pound Mudsnapper.
Lucky?
Well, yeah, I feel pretty lucky.

So you guys should go try this place, as I spent only 3 hours. Maybe you have to spend more, maybe less, but that's how this achievement works!

Edit: My friend caught it after 1768 casts and 10 hours of continous fishing. I think she went to Eversong Woods after a while.

Kommentar von 362597

I caught one by chance while trying for the second Fishing rank. I was fishing on the west bank of Brightwater Lake, in Tirisfal Glades, in the Eastern Kingdoms. Then twelve casts later, I caught another one. :O I don't know what to do with the extra, lol.

So I was fishing on my alt near Darnassus while waiting for BGs to pop. After a few casts I see a red mud snapper icon. I was surprised and checked it... '12 pound'. Darn it, oh well. So I fished some more... after about an hour and some BGs I fish another red mud snapper. This time it was 10 pound. I feel like they're just teasing me.

Edit: Found another 10 pound :((
Edit 2: Found another 12 pound. They must be common, haven't checked.
Edit 3: After a few hours of fishing I have found 2 12 pounders and 4 10 pounders, a small red bag, minor mana potion, a white gun and a ton of crap fish. Still no sign of it after about 500 casts.

I fished for the 15 Pound Mud Snapper in Mulgore's Stonebull Lake for about an hour, and this is what I got:

212 Fishing Casts

Reading the previous comments of people trying to catch this fish, I guess I was pretty lucky.

Kommentar von 134105

Do NOT turn auto loot off while fishing for this.

While the description on the achievement says "catch," you must, in fact, LOOT the fish to get the achievement. I didn't even realize I had it until I saw it listed on Fishing Buddy. It doesn't help that the icon is the exact same one as the 10 and 12 pounders.

I sent in for a ticket and will edit after I hear what the GM says. Please, fellow fishermen, don't make the same mistake that I did. :(

edit:
Abandoned the ticket after a blessing from the RNG gods. Got my second 15 pounder after 377 casts in Elwynn Forest, both from Crystal Lake.

Kommentar von 583355

Fished in Stonebull Lake, in Mulgore. Fished for 1.5 hours and caught one- Here is the break down of what was caught so you have a relative idea of how much was caught before catching the fish:

1 Minor Healing Potion
1 Minor Mana Potion
195 Raw Brilliant Smallfish
138 Raw Longjaw Mudsnapper
3 10 Lb Mud Snapper
1 15 Lb Mud Snapper

Yay! ;)

Kommentar von 379363

After six hours and 1285 casts in Muglore the 15 Pound Mud Snapper is mine. I was getting between 180-200 casts and hour. Max fishing with the hat and 100 fishing one hour long lure. My advice is to just fish for that one hour once or twice a day when you have nothing else to do. You'll get it eventually. ^.^

Over ~~5000~~ 10000 casts trying to get this guy at Crystal Lake with no luck. I started counting just before 5000 total fish caught and now have over 10000 fish caught over two weeks. I was going to try Dun Morogh but decided I'd like to stick with Elwynn to at least 10000. I'm now fishing for the 34 pound catfish in Stormwind.

Edit: Went for 1000 casts for the catfish in stormwind, then 1000 casts in Mulgore, before finally getting it after 212 casts in Teldrassil... Chuffed!

Today I also got the blacktip shark in the second pool I fished in, but was seconds too late handing it in... The only achievement I need for Salty and finishing my Professions tab! Wish me luck, wowhead.

Caught the 15 Pound Mud Snapper today after 293 casts at Stonebull Lake in Mulgore. Took 1 hour 16 minutes. Actually caught one of each of the Mud Snappers (10, 12, 15).

Weird that the caption on here says that the item is no longer in game.

I spent about a week trying for this achievement. I started out in HF trying for dark herring but after approx. 4,000 casts i gave up and headed to Mulgore. 2182 casts later i caught the 15 pounder!

1289 - Brilliant Smallfish
854 - Longjaw Mudsnapper
20 - 10lb Mudsnapper
6 - 12lb Mudsnapper
5 - Minor Healing Pot
5 - Minor Mana Pot
2 - Bloated Smallfish
1 - 15lb Mudsnapper

The dark herring seems harder to catch to me but a plus side is that the glacial salmon you catch while trying for it were selling for about 85g / stack on my realm. Good Luck!

Kommentar von 595038

After around 7000 casts trying to get the Dark Herring in Howling Fjord i decided i'd had enough and needed some new scenery so went for the 15 pound Mudsnapper.

After around an hour fishing at Stonebull Lake, Mulgore i finally got the achievement!

Obviously this is completely down to luck but if you're having a mental breakdown getting the Dark Herring its worth a try!

Spent about an hour at Crystal Lake in Elwynn Forest and got the 15 pounder. 212 casts. Yes, I was lucky for this one, but it took me 3 weeks of about 2 hours a day to get Mr Pinchy, so I had it coming to me ;)

560 fishing (kaluak pole, weather beaten hat, hat lure)

Kommentar von 605937

i am a grand master fisherman and ive been trying to catch this fish since 2 days in eversong woods
ive spent at least 5 hours fishing and caught at least 1700 fish
no 15 pound mud snapper yet
i start wondering if it actually exists in this lake

Kommentar von 605937

ok, i got it finally in eversong woods, outside the silvermoon city

one has to fish around 10 hours in one day
around 2100 fish
i tried three days, the first i got 400 fish and the second 700. they didnt add up. had to go through an 11 hour fishing exaustion the third day.

the good thing is, one gets 10 points for each fish of the achievement "one that didnt get away". so its worth trying for all of them.

Kommentar von 605937

I just realised today that I wrote something wrong the other time. One gets 10 point for the achievement for one of these fish, not for each one.
Pity... I like fishing for achievements.

Kommentar von 657912

Just caught this big guy in Stillwater pond outside of Silvermoon City. Tried several other locations for other rare fish for about 5 hours worth of fishing total for the achievement. Here are my stats:

398 casts:
393 raw brilliant smallfish/raw mud snapper
2 bloated smallfish
1 minor healing potion
1 10lb mud snapper
1 15lb mud snapper

Took about 2 hours for me at this location. Good Luck!

I actually originally started fishing for the Dark Herring in Howling Fjord; figuring that I also had a shot at the Sea Turtle. I was lucky enough to fish up the Sea Turtle after about 2 hours, but no luck with the Dark Herring. So I decided to try Stonebull Lake in Mulgore, for a change of scenery and to also get away from those damn Allies =)

Total 599
Brilliant Smallfish x 356: 59.4%
Longjaw Mud Snapper x 229: 38.2%

15 Pound Mud Snapper x 1: 0.2%

I'm very lucky (and thankful after reading some of the posts above) in that I didn't have to spend over about 5 hours or so trying to get the achievement.

Good luck to all who are trying to fish this snapper up!

Kommentar von wyrickdk

I caught my 15 pound snapper on cast 350! Ealier in the day I did 2185 cast in Howling Fjord for the Dark Herring with no success. After reading some posts on Wowhead I decided that the 15 pound snapper ws the best bet.

Kommentar von 693492

Quite odd, all these comments I'm reading about people spending hours and hours on a little fish.

I caught it in about 45 minutes of fishing in Crystal lake.
It can be the patch 4.0.1. and since im not in favor of the RNG I think it's a good chance that 4.0.1. is the deal.

It can be luck ofcourse, but I doubt it.

Kommentar von 693803

I start to believe that this fish doesn't exist within Lake Al'Ameth, Over 2k fish caught so far and I've only seen 10 pound mud snapper x20 and 12 pound mud snapper x15. >.<

Silly fish is silly..

*Edit*

After I caught around 4k fish.. then I finally got the 15 pound mud snapper in Lake Al'Ameth. RNG is a #$%^&

Kommentar von Icaria

Well, I threw about 3000 casts into Crystal Lake from the docks there, about 20x 10 pound and 15x 12 pounds, no 15.

I decided to move to Shadowglen now. Will update when I get tired of it...

Kommentar von 695936

Hey guys just got it on my 420th cast and got my salty title

wasnt all to bad,

would defiantly recommend going for the @ stonebull lake in mulgore

was super relaxing and secluded +no worry about pools

good luck and take it slow :D

Kommentar von 491037

4.0.3a
Standing on a rock just to the north of Bloodhoof Village in Stonebull Lake.

2650 casts and no 15 pounder.
I'm averaging about 53 casts per non vanilla catch (no small brilliant and no Longjaw mudsnapper)

If people are right and the odds are about 1/1500 then I'm in the unluckiest 17% of the population :(
(1 - 1/1500) ^ 2650

Oh and bloody deathwing hasn't even had the decency to scorch me either

Kommentar von Hourglass

Does anyone know if this can be caught somewhere besides the inland pools in the starting areas?

I've been hanging around in the Wetlands a lot, waiting on Deathwing to show up for Stand in the Fire. Figured fishing could be a good way to pass the time. I catch the ordinary Mud Snapper fish on a regular basis from the pond areas along the waterways, if that means anything...

Kommentar von Gniptard

I just got one a few moments ago after 647 casts. I've been trying for the Dark Herring (spent about 1000+ casts trying) as well and decided on a new locale for a wee bit.

Lucky lucky lucky

Hate this achievement.

Good luck to those whom don;t have it yet.

Kommentar von Elvine

Got it on my 11th cast @ Crystal lake.

My lucky day today! Won the fishing contest in Booty Bay, Fished up Mr. Pinchy after 3 pools, Got the pet on the first wish. and Now got the 15 pound Mud Snapper. All within 50 mins

Salty Elvine! Hehe

Got today when I was doing Stormwind fishing daily ("Thunder Falls").

Kommentar von hannibalektr

Got mine while doing "Furious catch" for the daily fishing quest, right outside org.

Kommentar von 753480

Why does this fish go for so high in the Auction House? Do you also get the <One That Didn't Get Away> Achievement even when buying it from the Auction House? Or is it just placed there for someone who "thinks" they can get the achievement and waste the coin to purchase it?

Kommentar von 486979

Got mine outside of org while doing daily fishing quest...was a bit lucky i assume

Kommentar von nekoinu

I just got insanely lucky with this. Rolled a toon (gnome mage) on a friend's server and decided to fish while I wait for her to get home from work. I picked up Fishing skill and a pole (well, two. a normal and a strong fishing pole) and went to fish right next to the trainer at Iceflow Lake in Dun Morogh. 13 casts later, I get this and the achieve. Definitely one of my luckier moments. (My brother fished up Ol' Crafty doing his dailies in Org. a while back. Now I don't have to be jealous anymore.)

Today I was fishing for the Giant Furious Pike for the fishing daily "A Furious Cast" and during those 10 casts I managed to get 2 of these 15 Pound Mud Snappers... in a row.

Caught this fish today.

I've fished about 2,5k in Grizzly for Dark Herring, about 2k in Mulgore/Stonebull Lake -many claim to fish the rare very early if you stand in the lucky spot with the tree log-. I believe it's RNG but when you fish that much you don't mind a change in the scenery.

I've seen a guy get this achievement while he was doing the Donnerfälle

After months I decided to go after this achievement again. Yesterday I fished in Thunder Fall for around 300 casts.

Today I went to Crystal Lake straight forward and here is what I caught:

106 Roher langzahniger Matschschnapper
175 Roher glänzender Kleinfisch
3 12-pfündiger Matschschnapper
1 Schwacher Manatrank
1 15-pfündiger Matschschnapper
--------------------------------------------------
286 catches in total

I haven't made this reply to encourage all who are trying to get this achievement to go to Crystal Lake and get it in 300 tries. If you want to, go for it by any means but I choose to believe it's RNG.

I'm now up to 12,364 catches, started farming this around the 3k mark. Is this to make up for my 2-run Anzu?

Did ~3k catches towards dark herring while getting the guild fishing achieve, and the remainder at stonebull lake.

Perhaps I got lucky for getting it within 500 casts, but I somehow feel like it pays back for the 12,000 casts it took for the Sea Turtle mount and the 2,000 casts it took for the Giant Sewer Rat...

Anyhow, I'm very happy with my new Salty title as this was the only Achievement I was missing.

Good luck to all. :]

Kommentar von 409170

Can this really be fished up in northern barrens? It would be more worthwhile because of the deviate fish but don't want to waste my time there if not.

Kommentar von joegeneric

Keep up hope, you probably don't have it as bad as me.

~3,500 catches towards dark herring while leveling guild's fishing achievement.

~8,000 catches in Stonebull lake.

Still no rare fish, only thing I've needed for the Salty title for a LONG time.

After about 3000 cast trying to get the Dark Herring in HF, I decided I try Stonebull Lake, Mulgore. After 3 hours of fishing here's what I've gotten. (I'll update this later once I catch it, or my bags fill up again).

x335 - Brilliant Smallfish
x214 - Longjaw Mudsnapper
x5 - 10 Pound Mudsnapper
x2 - Bloated Smallfish
x1 - Minor Mana Potion
x1 - Minor health potion.

I'm going to keep going, I've seen that a lot of people once they post on Wowhead they have good luck afterwards. Mabye I can get some of that.

EDIT: After going away for 3 hours to do some dailies and pvp, I came back to fish in Stonebull some more. Here's what I got...

x10 - Raw Brilliant Smallfish
x2 - Longjaw Mudsnapper
x1 - 15 Pound Mudsnapper.

It has been proven the Wowhead luck exists. Good luck to all you aspiring fishermen.

Considering apparently this fish is 1/2000 odd change to "statistics" and ive timed this by 1000 (3.28 x 1000) 3280 just because I know im unlucky. This is a ref est of 54.6 hours I need to fish....just to be statistically lucky...oh well 54.1hours to go!

After fishing in Howling Fjord pools for 300-odd casts in hopes of getting the Dark Herring or Sea Turtle, I swapped to Stonebull Lake in hope of a little Wowhead magic (and also so I didn't need to swap from pool to pool!)
However, no such luck, I've just hit 1000 casts and still no 15 Pound Mudsnapper. Hopefully my time will come soon!

Kommentar von Renuts

Well I won the Fishing Tourny, and then set out to get this achievement next. I did a good 2,000-3,000 casts in Howling Fjord for the Dark Herring and the Sea Turtle and got nothing. So I went to Crystal Lake and in less than 200 casts I got the 15 Pound Mud Snapper. I highly recommend you go for the 15 Pound Mud Snapper, data proves it seems to have a higher drop rate, and people seem to have better luck with it as well.

Good Luck!

Kommentar von Ibbi

"100 casts a day heads a Mud Snapper your way." A great way to do this is to spend 15 mins/100 casts a day at Crystal Lake.

Got this fellow at Stillwater pond, when doing daily fishing quest for Undercity. Only had 179 fishing skill, no extra attached to the pool either.

First of all, let me just say, that I hate thorycrafting, but I might be on to something. I have been trying to fish up a15 pound Mud Snapper at Stonebull Lake in Mulgore for months now. I have been getting about 4-5 10 pounders every hour. The other day, it was raining in Mulgore and in 30 min., I got 3 12 pounders. It soon stopped raining and I began to catch 10 pounders again. So, I am wondering if the weather has anything to do with the drop rate of the 15 pounder. Just a thought. Will update whenever I catch one (whenever that may be)

Got the 15-pounder at almost my 10.000:nd cast in Elwynn forest, switching between Chrystal lake and Mirror lake. It shouldn't make a difference where you fish but after a while I got restless and wanted new scenery ;)
I should be so jealous of you guys who got it <100 casts but I'm not. It was such a great feeling to finally hear the sound of the achievement popping that it made up for all the time spent fishing.

Good luck!

After a few days of grinding I finally caught myself a fine looking 15 Pound Mud Snapper.
I like to read other players comments about how they managed to fish it while fishing on my own, it gives me new hope towards an achievement like this. Anyways here is my story, enjoy.

Wednesday evening I first headed to Howling Fjord to see if I had any luck with Dark Herring today, which I hadn't. I began to get curious about the best place to fish up the rare fish, and I started searching for the easiest one, and that is where the 15 Pound Mud Snapper from Shadowglen in Teldrassil came to me. I saw it had a drop rate on 0,6% according to wowhead, which is a lot higher than 0,1% on Dark Herring, so I rushed down to Shadowglen, and began to fish. I sat there for about 20 minutes, when I almost died of an heartattack when I caught the 10 Pound Mud Snapper. A big disapointment. Another 10 minutes passed by, and again, I almost died of an heartattack, when I caught the 12 Pound Mud Snapper. Another big disapointment. I began to think about luck. Would I be granted some extra luck if I was nice towards a few low levels? To my surprise, a level 5 hunter came by and asked for some gold, and so I gave him what he needed. I than thought my luck has increased, but I soon began to realise it hadn't. After around 45 minutes, I put on my favorite song, and sat down in-game, so I looked like a pro fisher, and there it was... I almost coulden't believe it. The 15 Pound Mud Snapper at the end of my line. Only after about 117 casts, it was there. Though, plus 500 casts from Northrend aswell.

You might call me lucky, but I stand by the believe in helping other people and you shall be helped aswell. Just for fun, I got my percentages to share aswell.

Raw Brilliant Smallfish x67 - 57%
Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper x44 - 37%
Minor Healing Potion x1 - 0%
Minor Mana Potion x1 - 0%
10 Pound Mud Snapper x2 - 1%
12 Pound Mud Snapper x1 - 0%
15 Pound Mud Snapper x1 - 0%

As you can see, some people might get after 1 or 2 catches, some after 100, and some after 1000. The moral with this story is, always to keep your hope up when it's about stuff like this. Oh yea, you just got yourself some reading while fishing.

Thank ye!

Salty Karessa, The Maelstrom.

Server: Frostmourne US
Server Time: 11:46 PM (Patch 4.3 29th April 2012)
Caught: 15-pfündiger Matschschnapper
Addons: Fishing Buddy
Fishing Gear: Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat, High Test Eternium Fishing Line,
Arcanite Fishing Pole, Heat-Treated Spinning Lure, Captain Rumsey's Lager
Total Used Fishing Skill: 525+210

At first I was chasing the Dunkler Hering by fishing in the Fangtooth Herring pools all around Howling Fjord (map).
Got to 889 casts (29%) and then decided this wasn't working. Stopped fishing in pools.

Switched to fish in open water at Winter's Breath Lake -- The lake where the maiden is frozen in the middle.
Here are the stats from catching the other 2264 casts (71%) in the area:

Bonescale Snapper: 1133 - 50%
Fangtooth Herring: 470 - 20%
Glacial Salmon: 355 - 15%
Pygmy Suckerfish: 257 - 11%
Crystallized Water: 29 - 1%
Reinforced Crate: 20 - <1% (Containing Cobalt Ore, Frostweave Cloth of Borean Leather Scraps)
--- TOTAL --- 2264 Casts (71%).

After hours of fishing over a few days I decided to give up and move on to catch something else.
I headed to Elwynn Forest where I read that many people have had luck in catching the 15-pfündiger Matschschnapper
Fished at both Crystal Lake and Thunder Falls for ~30 mins and caught 74 Raw Brilliant Smallfish and 36 Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper

Decided to move again to; this time to Teldrassil where there are two very small lakes in Shadowglen.
Results are as follows:

Raw Brilliant Smallfish: 5 - 55%
Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper: 3 - 33%
15-pfündiger Matschschnapper: 1 - 11%
--- TOTAL --- 9 Casts (100%)

In conclusion; I was very lucky in this spot. Either that or RNG was on my side.
Just because I caught it in 9 casts in this spot does not mean you will do the exact same.
It is still 1 in 1000 chance of catching any of these rare fish. Although you may be lucky!

I wish you luck, all the best!

to catch these rare fish for the achieve, do you have to fish in a pool or just open water?

Kommentar von 993071

Just caught it! Crystal lake Elwynn forest.

Here's my statistics:
ooops!

After catching this damned fish i jumped under the ceiling, and landed on the switch button of AC/DC UPS)))))
My PC went off - and stats didnt saved!

But it was around 450 casts only, so i'm feeling lucky)

Yesterday i've caught Old Ironjaw in 41 casts, so...

Kommentar von Merkilan

I made a trial account and ran my little human to Goldshire, learned fishing, sat down to level it up to 50 and number 33 fish was the 15 lbs mud snapper. I about jumped out of my seat when I dinged! Than cried. I've been trying for 3 years on my main, pretty much given up ever catching a rare fish anywhere and this little human on a totally different account gets it! *bangs forehead to keyboard.*

Very much RNG.

I just caught it from the two ponds in Shadowglen (Teldrassil)

Kommentar von 1015976

Just caught it and that was the main reason for creating my wowhead account :O

It took me ~8hrs of fishing in Stonebull Lake (Mulgore - 43, 60).

Here's my fishing data:
Total: 1504
- Brilliant Smallfish x 882 => 58.6%
- Longjaw Mud Snapper x 591 => 39.3%
- 10 Pound Mud Snapper x 9 => 0.6%
- Minor Healing Potion x 7 => 0.5%
- Minor Mana Potion x 6 => 0.4%
- 12 Pound Mud Snapper x 4 => 0.3%
- Bloated Smallfish x 2 => 0.1%
- Flanged Mace x 1 => 0.1%
- Pattern: Red Linen Robe x 1 => 0.1%

- 15 Pound Mud Snapper x 1 => 0.1%

Note: I've been fishing for about 5 days, 30min-1hr30min / day, and that's how I got it. So my advice is not to burn yourself for it. Good luck!

Finally got this today without too much trouble in Mulgore at the lake. Ended up with about 126 Brilliant Smallfish, 58 Raw Longjaw Mud Snappers, and 1 each 10 lb, 12 lb, and 15lb mud snapper as well as one minor mana pot.

It's not the first time I've tried, but the first time I've had any success - used coords 43,60 as posted by another.

Kommentar von 1017091

I had prepared myself for 6 hours of fishing, had all the lures and Captain Rumsey's Lagers and everything.

I caught:
8 Longjaw Mud Snappers,
9 Raw Brilliant Fish,
2 10 Pound Mud Snappers,
and 1 15 Pound Mud Snapper.

I am satisfied.

Kommentar von LaneyLune

I was reading this page, getting discouraged by all the data, knowing that it's RNG and RNG hates me. I spent most of my time in Howling Fjord after the dark herring. I couldn't take that place anymore so I decided to switch things up. So I decided Elwynn and this 15lb'er. Well it was worth it, after thousands of Fangtooth Herrings, got the snapper after 20 casts.

Kommentar von Frankcoef

Today, I started farming this guy again. Already got over 20 hours at Stonefall lake at Mulgore

Was fishing for 1-2 hours at Thunderfall, at SW when a gnome Warlock came doing his daily. So we talked abit.

When he was fishing for 5min, He got him.......................

I was mad, really mad.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does this actually do anything? Is it just cool to hold a fish in your hand?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its just cool :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Totally useless item, except for photos.

Kommentar von Thottbot

691 gold! mabey like 1gold i might sell it.... someone tell me how much this is in auction house!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Also fished from Crystal Lake

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I know you hold it in the off hand, but what does it do?

Kommentar von ReelJV

Ive been going for this in WotLK classic and didn't get anything in Elywnn forest after about 200 casts. I moved to stonebull lake in Mulgore and got it FIRST CAST after going near the fishing trainer like other comments have said.

Kommentar von izzyboy

Caught it in TWOLK pre patch, after 1600 casts in Mulgore in Stonebull Lake near the fishing trainer. A little bit frustrating.

Kommentar von TheDrakborn

Fished mine in Iceflow Lake, Dun Morogh
total casts throughout the day: 2119, consecutive casts: 719

Kommentar von Omneus

Stonebull, Mulgore 9-22-22
4968 casts, 1x 15 lb mudsnapper.
Catch rate appears to be 0.04-0.08% or 1/2000ish per wowhead %. It can still be fished, don't despair.

Kommentar von S4rd0nyx

Caught in Shadowglen, Teldrassil in 754 casts in Wotlk Classic.

Having done Accomplished Angler on multiple characters, I'm sold on Shadowglen having the best odds for catching a rare fish.

Kommentar von Helzing95
