Thanks to Hate_ful, Nordak76, and Warlordsully for talking me into doing it!

Didn't light one off in AK and caught 14 chinook.

Caught 14 this morning in the regular uni spot, all along the tree line. X series 5m crank at 1 speed.

Every hook, jig head, spoon or spinner that is barbless costs baitcoins to purchase. So I have to spend baitcoins to buy gear to participate in the tournament, which costs me storage space that I don't have. So spend more baitcoins on storage space. Great way to get everyone involved.

I think the bite rate for crayfish was higher than for walleye in that tournament.

This has been an issue for me for a while. Competition fishing is different from regular fishing to me. Is it apples and oranges? Probably not. I agree with nordak that you do have to tweak your info for the comps. Lately I have significantly improved at some comps by doing just that. For example, going from 400 points to 1100 points in the Neherrin Minimal. Not winning them yet but I at least compete. The point about the same people always at the top is another matter. To me that is a Fishing Planet issue. I don't blame someone for figuring out what works best consistently. But if they have figured it out, FP should work to make changes so more people can compete. To paraphrase Spock, the fun of the many, outweighs the fun of the few. More people enjoying comps means more money. Tournaments are the same. I guess I am a nerd because I did the math on the last 4 tourneys and just under 6% of entrants were taking 41% of the qualifying spots. That is very top heavy. I sent my findings to Sergey and he acknowledged that the comp system needed fixing but would probably have to wait until after the new lakes are released. He was also kind enough to ask for further feedback on the system, which I happily gave him.

I used to be able to catch splake (unique and regular) like, well, catching fish in a barrel. The last couple of months though I couldn't catch more than 1 a day to save my life. I've peppered the whole lake, tried every lure and retrieve. I think I could go catch a sturgeon in Michigan easier than finding a splake! What am I missing?

Finally! Now I can stop all that training and practicing.

Tarpon by the overturned boat in FL. Using my jigwinner in the tiger trout spot and reeling in a 21 lb unique walleye.

Sure, i'm aware of that. 2 days in game you might say i'll give the tourney a try. Why no achievement for going there though? And it doesn't look like the caught anything either.

How about the level 2 player that was in my lobby in the FL qualifier? Checked their profile and they didn't have the achievement for going to that location. Or in MO I was in a lobby by myself.

Top 5 for most of my tourney until the uni time starts everyone passed me by. Managed to catch an 11 lber. Smallest fish in net was 7.1 lb and last I checked was 15 lbs behind. And as soon as the horn sounds.....blue error!

Kinda similar, in the Midnight Salmon comp last night I pressed x to discard some pondweed. After that I couldn't turn left or right. I could move but not turn. Had to restart to fix.

Nope. Had one in Dancing Pike today. Saw the fishs stats and then the big blue. Fish wasn't in my keepnet.

According to support, the challenge is 300 for 1 in game(5am-5am) day. I think that's possible but in my experience the counter hasn't reset this way. Did those who completed this challenge do it in 1 in game day?

Is this PC? The species list says there are only common in Kaniq and there is no trophy blackfish on the leaderboard.

Just checked before and after midnight EST and it reset to 0.

I get that, but like WalleyeWhisperer said, his counter reset.

It says catch 300 fish in a day. What time does the day start? I would hate to get halfway through and have the day reset.

Here's an idea for the next event. It would be community oriented. Pick a waterway and announce that it has been overtaken by an invasive species. Stock it with 10,000 or whatever number of said fish. The community has to clear the waterway of the invasive species in X amount of days. Everyone who catches one gets some small reward and the person with the most gets something x-series.

Remove the stringer requirement from the walleye tournament.

Lol. I just realized i was in the wrong topic. Mine happened in the semi final. I didn't practice hard enough to get to the final.

That sucks. I had a blue error with 2 minutes left. Wouldn't have made a difference for me.

It makes no sense. I did well at basically just one spot using probably 3 basic lures. Still had 1 blue error, another error that made me restart, flickering overlay, and mis-sorted keepnet. And I didn't get to keep a fish at the end that probably should have counted(it was really close).
