Live-server report, 8 Nov 2026
The first live tournament reportedly stopped after a single winner: Tastyfish schools stopped spawning, so nobody else could reach 40. Blizzard hadn't commented. The 5–6 Nov hotfix notes don't mention fishing, and no later fishing fix was found as of 9 Nov. Check for a fix before planning around the 50-winner format. wowforever.be · Blizzard hotfixes Live
- When
- Sundays, 2–4 p.m. server time Beta
The quest text says "Today between 2pm and 4pm". Afleurdenet gives Sundays; other guides called the day unconfirmed. A report published Sunday 8 November describes a live contest, but doesn't say what day it ran. - Goal
- Catch 40 Speckled Tastyfish from schools on the Stranglethorn coast and hand them to Riggle Bassbait in Booty Bay (quest Master Angler).
- Forever change
- Designed for the first 50 players to win, not just the first one. Conflict
Afleurdenet and the live report say 50 winners; Warcraft Tavern says only that multiple players can win; two beta-data guides still describe one. - Winner rewards
- Choose the Arcanite Fishing Pole (+35) or Hook of the Master Angler; the Master Angler title for six and a half days (beta data); and an Extravagant Extravaganza Coin.
- Rules
- Tastyfish reportedly expire 4 hours after you catch them and stack to 40. After the winners are in, Jang still pays for every 5 Tastyfish.

 Keefer's Angelfish | Lucky Fishing Hat (+5), or 3 Tastyfish |
