3 of my Day 1 runs were beaten, so I decided to take them back today! I managed to get 3/3 back, so I am happy.
The Kakariko Village acorns was bettered by what I think is a better route. We will have to see if that is true or if my execution was just better, idk.
The Northern Sanctuary acorns were bettered by what seems to be execution, since I gave up on left side and copied some of Brett Santema's strats by looking at his run.
The Castle Town acorns were TIED BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET A TIME THAT LOW.

![(Bug) Fishing Extravaganza 2 Wins In 1 Day | Classic World of Warcraft
This has been happening for years and yet nobody complains about it because people love getting more loot. The problem is that it removes the feeling of winning a competition.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the video at @39:00, a copy of Riggle Bassbait will spawn in every few minutes on a random layer as a quest turn in and another person can become the Master Angler. Additionally at @1:29:50, I turned in the quest for a second time that same day.
For the past couple years on Classic World of Warcraft servers, this competition has been bugged to enable people to win the competition after someone already has. At 2:00 PM server time, Riggle Bassbait will yell to the entire zone that the fishing tournament has begun, which cues everyone to start fishing. When someone collects 40 Speckled Tastyfish and walks over to him, they can turn in a quest and choose their reward. The quest is then removed and his dialogue options are changed to letting players know that a winner has already been chosen and to turn in Tastyfish to the person next to him. And this is when the main event should end. Until 4:00 PM, players can still fish up Tastyfish for silver and rare fish for event gear, but the Master Angler quest should be gone until the next Sunday.
There arent too many ways to express skill or teamwork in World of Warcraft outside of the usual raiding (Player vs enemy) or arena combat (Player versus player). However, the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza provides players with a fun, RNG event revolving around the very laid back fishing mechanic. The goal is to catch 40 Speckled Tastyfish from schools of fish that spawn only in this region at this time, Stranglethorn Vale starting at 2:00 PM server time every Sunday and ending at 4:00 PM. If you are able to turn this quest in as the first on the server, you can choose between the best fishing rod in the game or a trinket that turns you into a fish, with Riggle yelling We have a Winner! [Name] is your Master Angler! across the entire zone. Everyone will know that you won the event. And this is when you take a screen capture to post on some websites that you have become the victor!
In Wrath of the Lich King there is another fishing event created called the Kaluak Fishing Derby. In this tournament, it is a race to catch a single Blacktip Shark from pools in Northrend, which is insanely RNG and can end in just 1 fishing catch. The original intent of this was to also have just 1 winner per server, but during Classic Wrath of the Lich King, many players stated that a fisher could win for each layer present on the server. While Elder Clearwater will not respawn as in the Fishing Extravaganza, this is still more winners than intended. There were 2 other bugs present as well with this event: (1) Elder Clearwater did not announce to all of Northrend that the fishing event had started and (2) Elder Clearwater did not announce to all of Northrend that the fishing event had ended. Since nobody knew when it was ending, most people either fished for 5 minutes and gave up or didnt attempt to participate at all.
