Big Fish datestamp must on Canada Day! 07/01/2017
Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney.
Mounting a trophy fish will remove the datestamp.




​

If a 150 stoner isn't weighed-in, the prize will be given away in a lottery! All fish weighed in will be eligible for the prize.​

• Every fish weighed-in is entered into a lottery based on when the angler turned in their fish.
• A random number generator will be used to determine the winner.
• For example, if an angler turned in the 15th fish and the generator produces a 15, that angler wins.

Congrats to Jack Sparrow!!!
The 2nd fish weighed in of 98 stones netted the angler 150 platinum!


>>> If a 200 stoner or 1 stone fish is weighed-in, that angler wins an addtional 1 million gold!!! <<<
Both anglers, Marros Pegason and Kevin VanDam won an additional million gold... Congrats!!!




​

Rules:
* The tournament will be held on Saturday, July 1st, 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 reward 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.

Proudly CANADIAN!!!!!!

This clip sums up all I need to know about Canada <3 @Halabinder @snap dragon

Her milk jug is too fancy and her jugs are too small. But I feel vindicated as a Canadian that my description of the milk bags was accurate. Great detective work Larloch!
