Post screenshot of catch in this thread.
Big Fish datestamp must be on 12/03/2017
Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney.
Mounting a trophy fish will remove the datestamp.

​

• Biggest Fish: 1 million gold - Oompa Loompa 194 stones

• Smallest Fish: 1 million gold - Romulox 3 stones

• Randomest Fish: 1 million gold - 3 fish from the log were selected using a random number generator. Each angler will receive 333,333 gold. The winners are...

#11 Bonjing 123 stones
#22 Kanga 55 stones
#30 Bobis 61 stones
​

WINNING ANGLERS: I will be verifying fish in game and awarding prizes later this afternoon/evening. If you are unable to meet, please lock down your fish on your steps/roof and PM me the location. Thank you.

​

Rules:
* The tournament will be held on the full moon, Sunday December 3rd, 2017. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on that date. (Note: datestamp is based on UO:R time, US Central, -6 UTC)
* Prizes will be distributed the following week.
* Fish weighed in will be credited to the angler, not who turns. Anyone can submit fish for any angler. Angler must be present to claim winnings.
* Use as many fishers as you like. Again, fish is credited to angler marked on fish. (some players use more than 1 fisher)
* An angler can only place 1 fish in biggest and smallest categories. For example, Fisher X might have a 10 stone and a 12 stone fish however only the 10 stone will be credited in the smallest category. In addition, Fisher X can also place in biggest with a 199 stone fish.
* No sign up required! Simply post a screen shot of your catch but keep it for prize/award and... DO NOT MOUNT FISH. Mounting a fish will erase datestamp. Fish will need to be verified ingame to collect your prize. Only fish weight will only be recorded. You keep your catch.
* Anglers tied will split the prizes of the two respective places. For example, Anglers tied for 2nd place will split the winnings for 2nd and 3rd place.

Notes on Fishing:
Double-click on a fishing pole, then click on a body of water. If successful, you will catch a fish. You might catch something more interesting than a fish. Success with this skill also depends on the availability of fish in that specific area.
0-65 - On land you will fish up Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
80+ - Sea Serpents (No SoS Message), Special Fishing Nets.
90+ - Treasure Maps 100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message
95+ - You can reel in Big Fish which can be used to make Trophies via Taxidermy Kits.
You can get to 100 skill/Grandmaster fishing from land. Once you have attained 95+ fishing, acquire a boat. They are player-made (check player vendors, forums, or IRC). You will need a boat to get offshore into deep water to catch Big Fish.

Many thanks to the generous sponsors and UOR staff
who make these Tourneys possible!

First!

@crazydaze

Zyler, how does one get this "randomest" fish? Or is it simply a secret?

It's probably a pre-selected random weight.

Yeah, working. Thanks for the tag though.
Good luck to everyone but @Kirby

Good luck all! I'll get a little fishing in tomorrow, but RL's preventing me from attacking this tourney head on like the previous ones.

mibs and a tourney - cant get much better

Yes I agree. Good luck to everyone but @crazydaze

*siiiiigh*

On it now for the few hours I have free this weekend. Thanks for putting this on, guys!

No joy so far, I'll be setting sail again this afternoon. Good luck, all
