Another lunker-found in Tanaan Jungle- you can turn into Nat Pagle in your level 3 fishing shack.

Comment by caroleen

Fished up little over a hundred Felmouth Frenzy and got exactly 1 lunker. That was from a pool.

Probably not the most efficient way to get Nat's Coins.

Comment by Stargazer777

You don't need to fish from a pool to get the Felmouth Frenzy lunkers - I got 5 of them from fishing regular lakes in Tanaan. When you turn them in to Nat Pagle, he says "Wow, look at this thing. I think maybe I'll... actually, I'm not sure what to do with this. Is it really a fish?"

Comment by Plaguewind

Just a note, these aren't Unique (5) so you can fish up as many as you want before you turn in, posting this after I caught my 6th.

Comment by pipes

You can have more than 5 Felmouth Frenzy Lunker at you at any time.
This also concern the old ones, such as:
Blind Lake Lunker, Fire Ammonite Lunker, Fat Sleeper Lunker,
Sea Scorpion Lunker, Jawless Skulker Lunker, Abyssal Gulper Lunker,
and Blackwater Whiptail Lunker.

Screenshot as proof if anyone needs it.

Comment by Madelyn87

I just caught 5 of them within 15 minutes, in pools and in open water.

Comment by Nimrod

Does NOT require Nat Pagle to be assigned to the fishing shack or even an active follower!

Just caught two in three pools, and Nat even showed up to say hello. He promptly drowned, and I had to double check that he was indeed on the inactive list.

I have fished in Ruins of Kra'nak and only in pools(with a few misses) with these drops:

Total fish:516
Felmouth Frenzy (87%)(449 caught)
Felblight (5%)(30 caught)
Felmouth Frenzy Lunker (4%)(24 caught)
Enormous Crescent Saberfish (1%)(10 caught)
"Fragrant" Pheromone Fish (0%)(1 caught)
Crescent Saberfish (0%)(1 caught)
Felmouth Frenzy Bait 1 caught)

Felmouth Frenzy Bait, Fragrant Pheromone Fish, Enormous Crescent Saberfish and Crescent Saberfish does not drop from pools, these are the few misses I had. If you only want the Felmouth Frenzy or/and the Lunkers you can just keep fishing in open water using frenzy bait.

I had 1100 level fishing with 700 fishing + Tentacled Hat, Ephemeral Fishing Pole and Worm Supreme.

Now that these are no longer Unique (5), you can end up with quite a lot of them in your bags when you return to Nat in order to turn them in. This macro, together with a keybind for "Interact with target" can immensely speed up the process:

/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(8)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward()

Comment by Scalp4

They stack to 20 o_O

Unbelievably usefull fact provided for bag space min/maxers ! :D

Comment by Teiwazgod

Nat does make comment when you catch one..

Nap Pagle says: Seriously? I think I would actually just throw that one back.

Comment by imtheculprit

The 3 pools that spawn on the back side (west) of Hellfire Citadel cannot be fished. You get the error "target not in line of sight"

Comment by cruelwild

RNG...caught 3 in a row, just to not catch a single one in the next 100 pools

Comment by cruelwild

WTF! Nat Pagle died when he came to visit me, while I was fishing in Tanaan

Comment by illirei

I've personally been doing laps around Hellfire Citadel, 700 Fishing and using the Ephemeral Fishing Pole, Hightfish Cap and Worm Supreme for 1100, and just hit every pool (minus the ones mentioned that are behind invisible walls) in the route and got myself up 25 coins in a couple of hours. Not sure where would be better in terms of a lot of pool clusters in a small space, but since they'd be probably be occupied by the wise anyway, I'd assume this is a good middle-ground.

Hand-in macro
If you need to turn in a lot of lunkers, paste this in a macro:
/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(X)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward()

Then replace 'X' according to which type of lunker you're handing in:
1 - Fire Ammonite Lunker
2 - Jawless Skulker Lunker
3 - Fat Sleeper Lunker
4 - Black Lake Lunker
5 - Blackwater Whiptail Lunker
6 - Abyssal Gulper Lunker
7 - Sea Scorpion Lunker
8 - Felmouth Frenzy Lunker

It'll work like this:
Right-click Nat Pagle, spam macro 3 times, and you've handed in 1 lunker.
It'll go faster than handing them in manually, and you won't have to download some addon either.
Happy fishing!

Comment by padmajar

I seemed to have the best luck when fishing only from felmouth frenzy pools, with a fishing skill of more than 950. High skill in open water, or fishing in pools with a skill lower than 950, did not yield as favourable results.

Comment by Ellysimo

With the arrival of the Pre-patch I decided to test out the Tanaan method for an hour and these are my results.

Gear:
Ephemeral Fishing Rod
Highfish Cap
Worm Supreme

What I got:
x170 Felmouth Frenzy
x33 Felblight
x15 Felmouth Frenzy Lunker

So this is still a very viable method of farming for the Lunkers. I haven't found any coins though.

Here are my drop rates for 3 hrs of fishing in the circle of Hell Fire Citadel.
Monday morning 7am-10am (Lunch hours get crazy busy)

Hour One - 13 Lunkers
Hour Two - 11 Lunkers
Hour Three - 12 Lunkers

I had the Ephemeral Fishing Pole along with the Hightfish Cap and Max Level Fishing (800). I Only used Worm Supreme the first 10 minutes of every hour. So only 30 minutes out of the 3 hours did I have the Worm Supreme active.

Note: I have auto loot on and sometimes I get over zealous and click the Fishing button to quick. This caused me to not loot 2 lunkers in Hour One and Hour Three.
So you could say I caught a total of 38 lunkers instead of 36. But I didn't count them because they weren't in my bags and didn't count towards coins.

Happy Fishing! <3

Now that WoD is over, Worm Supreme are in very low supply. So I was trying to figure out if it was worth it to use all these expensive baits to boost my fishing skill or not. I did a quick experiment (I only did a 10 minute session for each which equaled between 35-40 casts) and these are my findings (This would apply to all Lunkers in all zones.):

Summary: Fishing skill from 800 - 1195 made NO difference on Lunker drop rate. It seems there is a cut-off somewhere between 860 and 1035 where you will stop getting Crescent Saberfish and Jawless Skulker. In my opinion, it is not worth it to boost your fishing level more than whatever gear you happen to have if all you are going for is Lunkers. The cost of the baits (high) vs the market price of the Enormous fish (low) makes it not worth worrying about.

Fishing Skill 800 (Using only Jawless Skulker Bait)
12% Crescent Saberfish (5)
5% Enormous Crescent Saberfish (2)
53% Enormous Jawless Skulker (23)
5% Fragrant Pheromone Fish (2)
14% Jawless Skulker (6)
2% Jawless Skulker Bait (1)
9% Jawless Skulker Lunker (4)

Fishing Skill 860 (Using Underlight Angler and Jawless Skulker Bait
9% Crescent Saberfish (4)
9% Enormous Crescent Saberfish (4)
51% Enormous Jawless Skulker (22)
2% Fragrant Pheromone Fish (1)
16% Jawless Skulker (7)
2% Jawless Skulker Bait (1)
7% Jawless Skulker Lunker (3)
2% Sharpened Fish Hook (1)

Fishing Skill 1035 (Underlight Angler, Jawless Skulker Bait, Nat's Drinking Hat, Tuskkar Spear)
2% Bladebone Hook (1)
0% Crescent Saberfish (0)
18% Enormous Crescent Saberfish (8)
64% Enormous Jawless Skulker (29)
4% Fragrant Pheromone Fish (2)
0% Jawless Skulker (0)

Fishing Skill 1185-1195 (Underlight Angler, Jawless Skulker Bait, Tentacled Hat, Tuskkar Spear, Captain Rumsey's Lager, Trawler Totem, Worm Supreme)
0% Crescent Saberfish (0)
15% Enormous Crescent Saberfish (6)
74% Enormous Jawless Skulker (29)
3% Fragrant Pheromone Fish (1)
0% Jawless Skulker (0)

Edit: The highmountain tauren racial can proc on lunkers, i got my first proc on one today after about 130 lunker catches! i had a bonus 37 to fishng skill alongside capped WoD fishing.

SS as proof: https://gyazo.com/8a4dd1d59dd699e6a38ab2b9b11f995d

As a side note in an hours of fishing (pools only) i average 14-15 in that time, which gives them about a 5% catch rate post BFA profession changes. In open water with max fishing buffs i was averaging about 10 an hour. Pools is best for efficiency but you dont get to half afk like you do with open water.

Comment by Basesqt

Been farming these recently, and it seems they are somehow soft-soft-capped. I got 22 in about 150 casts, then only 3 in the next 200 casts. It could be due to bad luck, but the drop rate has decreased abruptly at some point.

I will try to resume fishing after daily reset, to see if droprates increase.

Comment by Biancamella

Found that /way Tanaan Jungle 42.5 49.4, is a great spot to farm Lunkers. There are 5 Felmouth Frenzy School fairly close to each other. 3 are on the same minimap! I fished only from pools and my friend only from the raw green water and we fished around the same amount of Lunkers. (He was actually in the lead by a couple, even if my fishing gear was slightly better). And you can also farm the mounts from the rares around the area in the meantime. They spawn roughly every hour.
