Fishing Tournament: Thur, Jan 16th thru Sun, Jan 19th

Anyone can enter - no entry fee!
Over 800k in prizes!!!
(95+ fishing is required to catch a "Big Fish", tis by-catch of a sea serpent which is caught offshore in deep waters)

An angler can place only one fish in the biggest slot and only one fish in smallest slot.
(for example- Mr Fisher can win 3rd biggest and 1st smallest, BUT NOT 1st and 5th biggest.
Also, a player with multiple fishers can place both Mr Fisher & Ms Fisher in 2nd and 5th place biggest.
Point is one angler can not take 1st and 3rd with same fisher but CAN take 1st and 3rd with two different fishers.)

Players can use multiple fishers however fish is AWLAYS credited to the angler (character tagged on fish).
A player can use Mr. Fisher, Ms. Fisher, Fisher Jr. But above applies.

Post screenshot of catch or contact me for verification
Winning fish will be verified ingame

The tournament awards are as follows:

Rules:
* The tournament will be held between Thursday January 16th and Sunday January 19th. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on/between those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UOR server time, US Central, -5 GMT)
* Prizes will be distributed Monday January 20th. Accommodations will be made to winners that cannot claim their prize on that day.
* 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 are using more than one fisher)
* No sign up required! Simply contact Zyler in IRC or Forum PM to submit your fish -OR- post a screen shot of your catch. DO NOT MOUNT FISH. Mounting a fish will erase datestamp. Fish will need to be verified to collect prize if not seen previously ingame. Fish weight will only be recorded. You keep your catch.

Notes on Fishing:
Fishing is used with a fishing pole or nets to catch fish (and other objects).
Raising Fishing: Fishing is a difficulty based.
0-65 - On land you will fish up Footwear, Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
80+ - Sea Serpents, Deep Sea Serpents, Shipwrecked Kraken (1 in 20). "Big Fish" will be by-catch (loot) on Serpents (including Deep). Big Fish can mounted to make a hanging Trophy using a Taxidermy Kits. (again don't mount until verified for tournament since datestamp will be removed)
100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message (by-catch of Serpents - including Deep).

You can get to 100 skill fishing on land.
Monsters will never spawn by fishing from land.

Okay, is this excitement because you just love to fish in tournaments, or is this a sign to prepare ourselves to encounter Google the Pirate on the high seas?
