Playing a competition with multiple accounts is cheating according to FP. And you did have an amateur account. All your post is saying is that others are cheating more than you are.

I got the spot. I talked to him yesterday.

Sandropen was nice enough to share his experience with catching the trophy. I spent several hours recreating the conditions to no avail. I even tried to just catch a regular blackfish on a lure. Nothing. There is not even a preferred lure bit on the species page. My only conclusion is that the devs purposefully made it near impossible, or it is broke and a bug causes it to be near impossible. I give up until I see evidence that catching one is more likely than seeing Bigfoot wielding Excalibur and riding a unicorn.

I have spent more time than I care to trying to catch this. Different spots, baits, and hook sizes. I have never caught a blackfish on a lure but i'll admit I haven't really tried because I value the little bit of sanity I have left. I have sent a message to Sandropen in hopes he takes mercy on me and will share any information.

So no new trophies caught. Not even by accident in the Battle of Kaniq. The top blackfish on the leaderboard is always .441 which tells me that is the programmed max limit on that fish. Maybe the trophy is just REALLY rare.

Yes, but according to their profile they caught it on the 19th. It wasnt on the leaderboard until a couple of days ago. So far the user has not replied to a message or friend request.

Someone is using your name to do amateur competitions. Check out PikeRed_gz.

Still haven't seen a trophy blackfish, but I got an answer. Diana.S (Fishing Planet) Sep 24, 13:50 EEST Hello, This fish available on PS4 as well as on Steam. Best regards, Diana Senior Customer Support Specialist

The video ends with 19 minutes left in the comp. Should only take a minute or so to restart.

This has happened to me a few times in the past. However, you should have restarted when the message would not go away. You do not have to leave the competition.

Literally laughed out loud when this came up in a message during the missions! Well done devs.

Now the species list on PS4 says there is a trophy blackfish??? However, there was none on the leaderboard. I emailed support last week to get a definitive answer and the answer I got was "give us some time to investigate". How long does it take to find out if a trophy is there or not?

I don't think warnings are going to work

Except it's been 3 months and no sign of the missions that require these items. They already turned down the frequency of the items but they are still screwing up the walleye comp and have not heard of any lures being recovered.

I had an old post about this and nobody there could do it either. People in chat have claimed to be able to but I think your money is safe VV.

That doesn't answer the question. Let me explain why I ask. 1. I guess the Facebook one is over but i'm not sure. If I post on your video, am I competing with those stories? 2. FP is a company with a reputation, email address, statutory agent if necessary and is bound by certain laws. I'm sure this is all on the up and up but I don't know you. With FP I have recourse should any problems arise. 3. If this is not affiliated with FP, how do you propose to give me premium on PS4 should I win? Would the winner get a check in the mail; paypal? So again, is this affiliated with Fishing Planet or not?

Is this affiliated with Fishing Planet or is it separate?

So is this affiliated with Fishing Planet or different? Someone needs to say because someone could miss a chance to win if they only enter on one or the other.

That video is 3 months old. I mean it's good to show how it can be done. It would be better to show how sabiErika22 placed 5th today.

I tried to save on travel costs so I used it as a tent. Must've had some serious night terrors to cause 6k worth of damage.

Did something change? Just had a fully repaired 440 lb keepnet cost me $6000 for 2 days fishing. Caught 140 lbs one day in the competition and 40 lbs the next. Seems like just some random amount they charged.

Google translate says "hamecon" from screenshot means hook. I don't speak french so maybe it means barbless hook? Lost 4.1 lbs due to bluescreen and several minutes to restart. 4 would've made me throw my controller across the room. Also only caught one 2 lb fish in the first 30 minutes trying multiple lures and multiple pegs. Fish just seemed turned off. Sent an email but not holding my breath for the inevitable "working as intended" or "wrong spot" reply.

Still a problem! Cost me a 7.2 brown trout today. Others said they kept getting blue screens. In the semis these cost REAL time you can't get back. I guess I meet the definition of insanity because i keep entering expecting diffetent results.
