Participating is easy!!!
Fish as much as your heart desires, your eyes can strain,
and simply post a screenshot of your biggest fish in this thread....

Big Fish datestamp must be between 5/26/2023 and 5/29/2023.
Winning fish will be verified in game so keep fish until end of tourney.
Mounting a trophy fish will remove the datestamp.


Fishing Feats: How to win these prizes will not be announced rather awarded to the angler who accomplishes a pre-determined feat. For example, there might be a prize for the angler who posts the 100th fish. The angler who does the pre-determined action will win a prize. Our advice is to participate and turn in fish no matter how big or small.
_______________________________

Rules:
* The tournament will be held Friday, May 26th to Monday, ,May 29th, 2023. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on or between those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UOAlive time, US EST)
* 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.
* If you are found AFK fishing you will be banned from UOAlive and the Tournament.
* 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 feat 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.
* In the case of a tie, we will see who can survive a sea serpent the longest or just give ya both a prize TBD lol....

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.
Skill 0-65 - On land you will fish up Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
80+ - Sea Serpents (No SoS Message), Special Fishing Nets from a boat in deep waters.
90+ - Treasure Maps 100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message from a boat in deep waters.
95+ - You can reel in Big Fish which can be used to make Trophies via Taxidermy Kits. Big Fish are loot on sea serpents (like treasure maps, ancient messages in a bottle, and special fishing nets) from a boat in deep waters.
You can get to 100 skill/Grandmaster fishing from land. Once you have attained 95+ fishing, acquire a boat. You will need a boat to get offshore into deep water to catch Big Fish. Deep waters are generally around 10 tiles from shoreline depending on the area.
 
well, after fishing a few times i can't beat Mustiff's small AND big catch, but here's mine anyway

I thought its about Big Fish, so I cut all another (Rare fishes and Legendary fishes). DPlease dont tell me I was wrong... :-( (got around 100 baracuda cuts)
Big Fish datestamp must be between 5/26/2023 and 5/29/2023.
 
there is a picture of a yellowtail barracuda so that leads me to believe that any fish that has a weight and date is game
 
Not nearly as good as some others, but here's mine... I also caught two within about 4 casts of each other that were both exactly 100 stones...

I did make out with 8 tmaps, 21 nets, and 40 mibs over the weekend though.

Thanks for running the event!

This is correct, big fish include more than just the "big fish" these days.
@Elamor if you have any other fish you can submit them still as long as they are dated for the weekend.
 
And the WINNERS ARE....
Smallest Catch goes to
@Schuyler Bain
Largest Catch goes to @Bambus2023
"Most Mis...Fishsteaks" goes to @Elamor
"Almost the biggest and the smallest" goes to @Mudpye
