All winning fish have been verified.
Congrats to the winners!!!



Millicent, summer, & Captain Bill won a random prize!

Over 2 million in prizes!!!
Anyone can enter tournament - no signup required, no entry fee!


(95+ fishing is required to catch a "Big Fish", tis by-catch of a sea serpent which is caught offshore in deep waters)

Post screenshot of catch in this thread.
Big Fish datestamp must be between 5/23/2015 & 5/25/2015
Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney and don't mount.
Mounting a fish will remove the datestamp.

​

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 ALWAYS credited to the angler (character tagged on fish).
A player can use Mr. Fisher, Ms. Fisher, Fisher Jr. But above applies.

​

Rules:
* The tournament will be held Saturday May 23rd, 2015 to May 25th, 2015. 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 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 are using more than one fisher)
* 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% fishing on land, but deep sea fishing gives much faster skill gains.
Monsters will never spawn by fishing from land.

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

Good Morning UOR Fishing Fans!

Fishing Team Judas Priest quietly launched their Boat this morning and are on the water fishing while observing this Memorial Day weekend.

KK Downing was the first to land a fish, scoring this 102 stone huge fish.



Team Priest also ran into a Serpent with this fish in its belly...



It was rather ripe smelling, as it appears several days old! This only proves that "Bubba" is real folks, so watch your poles lest you end up in jail! Bubba is no myth and he didn't claim his prize fish, so he may very well be waiting for you in the Iron barred pits of UOR!

33 stones for a starter from Gibbo

all set for some fishing!

Bronson caught another fish! 59 stones

86 Tang

I swear! I fish for a week after the last tournement and I am pulling up big starboard and port! Come tournemenet, and I'm fishing up all those soggy pieces of parchment you guys keep tossing back into the sea! Please keep our oceans clean and free of soggy pieces of parchment!

Ditto Bixby, I just look at it as future gold, lol
I am tempted to just keep sailing when I see "soggy parchment" though.

Gentlemen, I feel your pain on the soggy parchments. I usually wait until I have a 100 or so and then I drop them all around Ocllo.
