    Seems the town of Duanor has a shark problem. To help with this FFFD and the Guardians of the Silver Serpent have placed a bounty on sharks caught in our town waters for the entire 117 release. This contest will start when double experience ends and will run until release 117 closes. The post below will contain the prize information so it can be updated through out the contest as more prizes are added.

    To sum up this contest it is simple... come fish in our town and catch the biggest shark. All sharks caught will receive a prize but if you catch the biggest you get the biggest prize. There may also be a special bonus if a LARGE shark is caught in town or the shark beats Flair's current recorded record of 4.843 for a regular Tiger Shark. Only one of those prizes will be rewarded meaning either the shark is large and is the largest and it wins or if there are no large sharks but the shark still beats the record.
    *bonus* Added another bounty for largest nonshark fish turned in

    Rules are as follows:
    1. Fish in Duanor
    2. Catch any size shark
    3. Turn in your shark before the end of release 117 at Flair Famous Fishing Dungeon which can be found on any street sign. The chest is clearly marked in the picture below. Please place your entry in a bag with your name on it and bags are provided next to the drop off chest.

    Anyone is also welcome to add to the prize pool by either mailing items to Flair Minamoto or coming by and dropping it off in the prize altar lockbox to the left of the Jaws drop off chest.

    So one could come to Duanor and do both Lava fishing for the monthly contest and in between some saltwater fishing for sharks so that it does not get boring? Nice.

    Thank you for the fun contest Flair!

    My shark "got away" but landing that Marlin was a first for me so that was exciting.
    (I had a small shark in a locked backpack that I accidently sold to Pip a few days back w junk fish) --- Oh I was so pissed and such a noob mistake.
    Note to self, LOCK the shark, not the bag it is in. LOL

    I was not expecting to win anything but wow what a great booby prize thank you so much!


    GRATZ TO ALL!!! WOW NICE SHARK IRISH!

    Oh no Knightrider! Sorry to hear that. My buddy accidentally chopped up the only Tiger Shark he ever caught.

    YIKES.. I have also learned to take screenshots of fish I enter in tourneys because we are all human and sometimes things get messed up. Glad everyone enjoyed the contest and look for another one coming soon!!
