Viele Erfolge sind ganz einfach und schnell abzufarmen. Einige davon können aber verdammt lange dauern.
Für "Der Schrottsammler" muss man einfach in verschiedene Gebiete fliegen und in "Trümmer-Schwärmen" angeln.
"Der alte Gnom und das Meed" verlangt einfach in einem Schwarm zu angeln. Der wohl einfachste Erfolg.
Für "Der angelnde Diplomat" muss man einfach je einen Fisch in OG und SW angeln.
Für "Der Scherbwelt-Angler" werft einfach eure Angel in die 6 verschiedenen Schwärme der Scherbenwelt.
Gleiches gilt für "Der Nordend-Angler", nur dass natürlich die Nordend-Schwärme abgefischt werden müssen.
"1.000 Fische" bekommt man mit der Zeit automatisch, ebenso wie "Angelgroßmeister".
Um "Das Grauen aus der Tiefe" abzuschließen, muss man einen Raid aufmachen, mindestens einen Freund einladen und in den Echsenkessel gehen. Dort kann man in dem großen "Raum" hinter'm zweiten Lift in einem großen Holzring, der im Wasser schimmt angeln. Nach ein paar Versuchen dürfte man den Erfolg bekommen, woraufhin ein Boss spawnt, welchen man aber nicht killen muss.
"Fische für den alten Barlo" lässt sich meist binnen einer Woche erledigen. Man muss dafür einfach jede Daily-Quest von "Der alte Barlo" (also dem Angeldaily-NPC bei Shattrath) mindestens einmal abschließen.

Ab hier wird es etwas schwieriger und langatmiger bzw. verlangt viel Glück.
Samstags beginnt in Nordend der Angelwettstreit der Kalu'ak und sonntags der von Beutebucht - jeweils um 14:00 Uhr. Für die Kalu'ak müsst ihr einen speziellen Fisch in Nordend-Schwärmen angeln und ihn nach Dalaran bringen. Das erfordert nut Glück. Für Beutebucht müsst ihr möglichst schnell 40 Leckerfische in den entsprechenden Schwärmen angeln, welche pünktlich zum Wettbewerb spawnen und diese als Erster in Beutebucht abgeben. Für "Meisterangler von Azeroth" müsst ihr EINEN dieser Wettbewerbe gewinnen.
"Einer, der nicht entkam" verlangt sehr viel Glück. Ihr müsst dafür einen der dort genannten seltenen Fische fangen. Am einfachsten scheint es mit "Dunkler Hering" zu gehen, welcher im Heulenden Fjord zu fangen ist. Offenbar braucht man dafür nicht in Schwärmen zu suchen.
"Fische hinterlassen keine Fußspuren" kann etwas zeitaufwendig werden. Man kann entweder lernen Fische auszuspüren über ein Buch, das in dem Beutel jeder Angeldaily sein kann, oder man lootet es aus Kisten, welche man in Schwärmen angelt.
Für "Der Münzmeister" angelt ihr so lange in dem Brunnen von Dalaran (beim Angeldaily-NPC) bis ihr alle Münzen geangelt habt. Ihr könnt die Chance eine Münze zu angeln für 2 Minuten erhöhen, indem ihr eine bereits geangelte Goldmünze benutzt, wodurch ihr sie so wieder zurück in den Brunnen werft.
Der letzte Erfolg ist "Dr. Zwickys Kasten mit magischem Glusskrebs". Dafür müsst ihr Dr. Zwicky aus einem Hochlandschwarm angeln, welchen ihr in den Wäldern von Terrokar in erhöhten gewässern findet (z.B. bei der Himmelswache der Sha'tari). Mit Glück bekommt ihr sogar bei seiner Benutzung das Pet "Magischer Flusskrebs".

"Ozeanograph", "Der Limnologe", "Bin mal angeln", "Erhabener Angelgroßmeister", "Riesenratatouille", "Schildkröte bis ganz unten", "Balzen mit Marcia", "Alter Fuchs", "Alter Eisenkiefer" und die "Den Köder auswerfen: XY"-Erfolge benötigt ihr für den Metaerfolg nicht.

Gain 350 Fishing and buy "Grand Master" level.
Fish every school type in Outland and Northrend.
Fish every junk node type in the game.
Fish in Orgrimmar+Stormwind.

So, you might want to buy one or two concentration aids :)

The hardest of these requirements will be winning the Sunday Fishing Contest obviously. Guess being VERY lucky is going to be required to get this title.

Sounds catchy :D

Kommentar von Shayser

You salty bastard. >:P

Kommentar von Draenors

It is probably very true that catching Mr. Pinchy is easier than winning the fishing tournament in STV. But don't think that the competition is extremely hard to win or based on luck. I have won it 4 times - so I could get both rewards on each of my characters - I didn't get any help from friends at all, and I could surely have won it many more times if I had bothered to come back every Sunday (but that would be pretty stupid when I already had both rewards.

Surely, I can't win it every time. There are always bad fishing days and other skilled fishermen who are "stealing" the prize just as you are about to HS back to Booty Bay. But it really is a matter of skill. It does take practice and you can't expect to win on your first try. But if you come back to practive every Sunday and make sure to get better, then you will win at some point.

I guess it may be harder if some servers for some reason are very populated with fishers during the tournament. By the way, I also expect that when Wrath comes out and people learn about the achievement, there will be more competition, so better try and start to get it now.

So my conclusion is: The tournament is like a tough raid boss. There are some random/luck-factors and you can't win every time. But in the end, it's still a matter of preparation and it's up to you if you can do it or not.

If Mr. Pinchy really is as rare as some people say, then I would rather go back and win the tournament again if I could chose that instead.

I'm surprised they didn't include the Goldenscale Vendorfish in any of the achievements. It sure does make me happy when I fish one up.

Kommentar von pixless

/agreed
Goldenscale vendorfish should totally be an achievement. The first one I caught I really believed it was worth a gold (seemed like riches at the time!). I still liked the little rush I got everytime I caught a new fish.
Should be an achievement to catch ALL fish I believe. There are so many I still can't seem to catch and I have some killer gear (no hat/no pinchy though).

How to make fishing less boring
There's no denying it, fishing gets boring after about the 100th time you throw your bobble into the waters to catch, for example, this fish. Here are some of the techniques i use to make it fun.

Step 1.
Download/buy some comedies (I for example watched seasons 1-5 of Scrubs while i fished my way through 1-320 fishing ), movies, any kind of motionpicture that you enjoy and could watch for +4 hours.

Step 2.
Download BS player/Media player classic (Those are atleast the ones i know that have this feature) and go to Options. There is an option called "Always on top". Switch that on. Then, turn on your Scrubs or whatever you want to watch, and place it so it doesn't get in the way of your bobble (Bobler or whatever that thing is that floats on the surface of the water).

Step 3
We're almost done. Now, go to your fishing spot (Ironforge or Orgimmar in case you're after these two lovely's), and bid your Fishing skill to some easy to press (F for example) button. Then turn on "Auto-loot" (Remember, you still have to press "Yes i want to loot this BoP fish" button when you do finally get this lovely piece of epicness) from WoW's options. Next order of business, go to Sound options, and switch it on so it makes sounds when a fish has been "caught" (They are either Sound effects or Ambient sounds, so turn both on.). Now finely toon it so you can listen to your show and you can hear it when the fish is caught. Now, fish away!

This has worked for like +2 years for me now, and i finally have a place to post my comments ^_^. Hope you enjoy'd my little tricks and tips, and i hope to see some lovely "Salty" tittled people running around!

Show ideas (I'm a comedy guy, so... this will reflect that)
- Scrubs (7 seasons of pure awesomeness)
- Friends
- Pablo Fransisco stand up comedy's (You can also watch these on Google-video, but then this trick of mine wouldn't work ;) )
- Third Rock From The Sun
- Two and a half men
- V for Vendetta (Not a show, a movie)
- Dark Knight ( Read above)

That should last atleast 3 characters worth of fishing. Have a good one!

Achieved 11/16/08 at 4am server time by Megahoof of Deathwing. (Now known as Salty Megahoof)

The last part I finished was the Coin Master.

I didn't have to worry about the fishing tournament as I won that two years ago, and I'm glad, since people are even more adamant about winning that, and its being won on average 10 minutes faster now than when I won it.

Good luck to anyone else going after this title! Onto "Chef"!

Kommentar von ohashi

Frankly, I'm glad they put the Fishing Competition in this one... Most of us (who have it) were Salty in spirit long before you became interested in fishing and as such, had accomplished the fishing tourney when no one else cared. The early fisherman gets the title... like the bird and the worm... cept the bird does not get the worm because we already got up earlier than the bird, killed it, cooked it's eggs, ate them, then put the worm on our hooks and fished with it.

Kommentar von Slacktea

Well, I got my last achievement today by fishing up Mr. Pinchy and getting the crawdad pet on the first wish, hence getting the title Salty ^^

I've been neglecting leveling and raiding a bit since the expansion to get this, and getting Kalu'ak exalted in the progress. It's been an awesome achievement to hunt and I don't see any other one going to give me such a good time, perhaps maybe getting Explorer without a flying mount, which is definately a close second.

Good luck all of you fellow 'Salties' :)

I achieved Accomplished Angler last night, after fishing up Anduin Wrynn's Gold Coin. It was the last stop for me on my way to Salty title, which I didn't think of much at first, until I saw my mirror images with the title. So much salt... who doesn't like salt?

As noted above, there's a few things holding many players back from this achievement. Clearly the most apparent one is Master Angler of Stranglethorn, due to the limited number of players that can win this in a given year. On top of that, as someone else mentioned, there are players (and I know a few) who have won the tournament multiple times (to get both the trinket and the fishing pole). Naturally, each time someone wins it twice, it cuts the number of possible players with the title down one more.

Catching the coins took a considerable amount of time. I didn't do it all in one sitting though, so I'm not sure of the actual time invested. I do know that I spent well over 8 hours fishing coins though. Fishing up the 15 pound mud snapper for One That Didn't Get Away took me 10 hours and 2128 casts.

As for the Magical Crawdad, I got it on using my second charge of Mr. Pinchy, which I 'accidentally' fished up while fishing for Furious Crawdads to make my Spicy Crawdads. And yet I have friends who have spent hours upon hours fishing for Mr. Pinchy, only to have all three charges wasted each time. It's all beautiful RNG ;-)

Total time investment for this achievement is rather irrelevant, given that winning the fishing tournament isn't about time invested at all. The others arguably are about time investment (despite the chance of fishing it up each time never changing, your chances of not fishing it up decreases. Given enough casts, you will catch what you're after, just depends how long you want to sit there).

Kommentar von doddman0223

Saw a horde on my server named "Salty Choclatebalz"

I decided not to kill him.

Kommentar von Lauriannun

I wish this was true but I have to disagree....I've been fishing a long time, and loving it long before we knew about achievements, or this particular achivement. The contest has always been very popular on my server and very hard to win.
I wanted to win because I enjoy fishing and wanted that accomplishment and pole.
Now that the a title achievement includes it competition has doubled.
I know there has to be an achievement including it....I just wish it were one that would attract less attention from those people who don't care.
Of course if I DID already have the achievement I might be singing a different tune. ;) Just wanted to share that not all true accomplished anglers in WoW have already won it.

Kommentar von deerpark

Just got this title and renamed my character to "Seamen"

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Akama&n=Se%C3%A4men

*edit: DO NOT NAME YOUR CHARACTER TO SEAMEN
According to a GM it is a Homonym for male reproductive fluid and NOT a commercial fishing enterprise in Naknek Alaska... However, the name Seamänner is acceptable (means same thing in german) because it is not one of the major two languages (Spanish & English) spoken by the desired game audience, and also no longer a direct homonym because of the added "er" at the end of the name.

So I know you're thinking about it, but don't do it! I got lucky because I spent money on the name change and he allowed me to pick a new one, you might not be as lucky... blizzard has been known to give you random stupid RP names.

Kommentar von Partokh

I highly recommend to all potential angler's out there that first and foremost you go to STV's west coast and fish in each and every node you find. You are looking for the "Weather-Beaten Journal" it requires fishing skill of 100; however, it teaches the "find fish" ability. Makes these achievements much simpler to do.

Kommentar von Lysanna

I have found that an excellent time-waster, if you don't want to watch movies or your computer can't handle it, is the Bejeweled Addon, which is officially supported by Popcap, who makes the game, if you're afraid of malware. :P Thanks to this baby I fished my way Salty tonight. Also probably 1000 casts just for a silly heavy fish, but who's counting? Salty Lysanna will reign supreme until my cuisine can take over (then Chef Lysanna!).

Kommentar von Notnilc

www.hulu.com I found this website is the best way to pass time while fishing its run by the same people who run fox so its safe to use and has all my favorite tv shows and some pretty good movies for free!

Kommentar von Kurtosis

Playing a podcast in the background are another good way.

Kommentar von ZelasMetallium

Does anyone know if there's talk of removing winning the STV Extravaganza from the requirements? I play on a high pop server (900+ queue at peak hours! Ouch!) and I know that it would be one in a million to win the tourney.

Kommentar von Necrophob

Not considering those who got the Fishing Competition out of the way pre-achievement system, only 52 people can conceivably get this achievement a year, per realm. The competition is once per Sunday, and there are only 52 weeks in the year. Not a very easy achievement.

Kommentar von Heeris

Might add that the minimum level to get this achievement is 70.

Kommentar von dumac

Getting this title is most likely one of the harder and defiently most time consuming ones in the game so far, some of the raiding achievment is harder and so is insane title. Geting this title will grant your some major respect hehe, i am still working on it myself but i got more than half the criteria done.

So keep going all who is doing this and be a true fisherman!

Kommentar von BallsworthAA

I went into the Wrath expansion joking about earning this achievement and creating a punning title-name combination with the reward. Several months later, I think that this one of the most rewarding, entertaining and challenging meta-achievements available. I truly feel "accomplished" in the scope of the game. For those of you interested in earning this title, I ranked the required achievements in the following order of difficulty in terms of time consumption, so you will know what to look forward to:

1. One That Didn't Get Away
This one will take up the most of your time, simply because most of these fish have a speculated 1/10000 chance of being caught. I'd recommend going for the 15 Pound Mud Snapper in either Shadowglen or in whichever starting zone you feel most comfortable fishing. I spent around 18 hours and 3000 casts in Feralas going for the 68 Pound Grouper before switching over to Teldrassil, where I got the snapper in under 2 hours.

You might want to consider the Dark Herring option in Northrend, where you also have a chance at Turtles All the Way Down. You'll have to keep moving between schools, which may increase the amount of time spent and focus required, which you may want to devote to watching a movie in the background.

But who knows, you may get lucky and get this achievement in your first few (hundred) casts.

2. Master Angler of Azeroth
The Stranglethorn Extravaganza is easier to win than the Kalu'ak Derby. The STV contest is more skill- and input-based, whereas the Kalu'ak derby is a lot more luck-based. Your chances of winning the STV contest are higher than winning the Derby, so for that reason I'd suggest focusing on that one. Nevertheless, you should always do both contests if you want to get the achievement.

It will take some practice to get good at the contests. You can try to force a victory on the STV competition with the use of your friends, but most of the time the winner is riding solo. It took me about six tries to win this one. Depending on your play schedule and on whether your server is PvP enabled, you might rank this as more difficult than the Get Away.

But who knows, you may get lucky and get this achievement in your first try.

3. Mr. Pinchy's Magical Crawdad Box
For this one, you'll probably have to suffer through hours of pool hunting in Terrokar. On top of that, you'll be ultra-owned if RNG isn't on your side and Mr. Pinchy fails to grant you the crawdad in your three wishes, and you have to get him again. Other than that, this achievement is fairly straightforward, so there isn't really much to explain after you read the guides. My luck got used up on this achievement, when I got Mr. Pinchy in my first hour-long session and his crawdad shortly thereafter. My pal who got me interested in fishing took several combined hours-worth of fishing to get him however.

But who knows, etc.

I'd put The Coin Master in a distant 4th place due to shear aggrivation, with the rest of the achievements falling after it. In summary, the three most difficult achievements take a lot of luck and time, but with enough effort you will eventually get this title. Hopefully you won't fall victim to the same demises of the various "horror stories" that float around the fishing community. I used El's Extreme Anglin' and Warcraft Overachiever as guides. I highly suggest the use of both of these when pursuing Salty.

Happy angling,

Kommentar von Killrogg

I was just curious what the title of this achievment would be in english since Im german and Im really surprised.

Salty ...thats so funny.
The german title for this is "Schrecken der Meere",
which would be "Terror of the Sea".

Kommentar von Shiftless

As a suggestion to all those seeking the title while what Ballsworth said is true those are some of the harder achievements I would recommend that potential Salty's keep a few things in mind. First of all I would put Mr Pinchy at the top of the priority list, if you don't get lucky with wishes this can be the largest time sink in this meta. I'm on my third pinchy already and have yet to get the pet that means I've been waiting 12 days already just based on the cooldowns of the damn things. I got the one that didn't get away and the tourney in the same weekend on the other hand after a concentrated effort. So I recommend going for Pinchy early as he can really set you back time wise. Also don't overlook Old Man Barlowned, make sure to get that one done early as well, I wasn't thinking about and have been waiting 3 weeks now on my server and still haven't seen the one quest I'm missing from him. Anyway enjoy working on this achievement people, hopefully I too will soon be joining the ranks of all the Salty's out there.

Edit: Got my Crawdad pet finally... Old Man Barlow is still holding out on me... only thing stopping me from becoming Salty

Kommentar von riCHARED

If you're like me and never train fishing but have reason to want "salty" title, then here's what you'll want to do from level 1 fishing skill:
-make sure to do a Shattrath fishing daily on your first day before your dailies reset and then every day after
-if you're close to Saturday/Sunday at 2pm server time, prepare for the fishing contest as I hear it's very difficult to win so you want to start trying asap.
-set yourself up with a movie or tv show "Always on top" as other posters have described. Really makes hours of fishing go by like nothing.
-clear bag space (20 should be plenty)
-head to Stonebull Lake (or any other starting zone inland water) to start on the rare fish. (this got me from 1-260ish skill)
-find your fish finder book.

-fish up Mr. Pinchy (and hopefully get lucky like me and get him in less than an hour)
-fish the coins in dalaran (got me to 379)
And now I wait until saturday/sunday for the contests. I hope that doing my homework will result in me winning one of these and I will be salty.

Total PLAYED hours from skill 1 fishing to 379 and having completed all non-contest/non-daily achievements: appx 26.
Total REAL TIME from start until now: 40 hours (a few hours first night, sleep, full fishing day, sleep, an hour to finish up).
NOTE: I HIGHLY recommend NOT doing this all in one sitting like I did. My eyes burned - bad.

For good information about the achievements: http://www.elsanglin.com/salty.html

Keep in mind:
Fishing in pools only requires skill level 1!
Use lures to find less junk (especially in the dalaran fountain which yielded a lot of junk for me)
Ignore the 1000 Fish and 350 skill achievements. You will get those just by doing the rest, and the 350 skill takes longer.
The SSC and ZG bosses can be summoned solo. I just got near the entrance to the instance, invited a random person from dalaran, converted to raid, zoned in, and then eventually they would drop group which left me in the instance just fine to do my business. NOTE: if YOU drop group, you will be teleported to the nearest GY. Also go naked for lurker, he will kill you, but the ZG one gives you time to hearth after getting the achievement.
Be patient. I cannot emphasize enough using the "always on top" video method.
Happy Anglin'. ~(soon to be) Salty Thickload

Edit: Just won my STV contest on the first try. paid 6 people to help me.
-1 retadin to stay by and cleanse/heal/guard me with crusader aura.
-2 pvpers to stay a bit down the coast of me (1 in either direction) looking for the next pool and killing competition.
-2 other pvpers to go all around STV coasts messing people up (killing/fishing their stuff).
-1 other fisher/pvper to go fish in nodes of people of my faction that we couldnt kill.
Paid them each 500g for a win (or 150g for a fail). but we won and i happily dished out 2500g (1 person was RL friend and didnt take money).
Also make sure to scout the area before you start. have a vent. be in an unpopulated area with a lot of pools before it begins. I chose the northern end of the south east coast with the bloodsails at the south and trolls at the north. Worked like a charm. Set hearth to BB before hand. won at 3:20ish.

You guys have no idea how many hours I've spent straight trying to get the last achievement for this title on my main... "One That Didn't Get Away"... I tried Northrend, Orgrimmar, Stranglethorn, even Outland. I'm starting to think Blizzard hates me and doesn't want a character with the name "Mönsteraggö" to get this title. Which is odd considering I won the Kalu'Ak fishing tourney the very first time I entered it. :'(

Edit : I finally got the achievement! /yay

Stonebull Lake is where I got "One That Didn't Get Away", after spending roughly 3 hours there of near-nonstop fishing. Best of luck to you all!

Kommentar von Doradan

This title, as opposed to it's similarly-themed cousin, "Chef", is positively a nightmare to get on high- or mid-population servers. Even if it isn't a PvP server, you'll still have a huge number of competitors for both fishing tourneys about every week. If you are REALLY serious about this title but find that you have 20+ people crowding Stranglethorn or the shark turn-in in Dalaran, a transfer to a lower pop server may be the easiest (and fastest) way to get the tourney's done.

Kommentar von crazeheals

Got this achievement 2 weeks ago and I can confirm that the Magical Crawdad is way easier to get now !

The most annoying part for me was fishing up all the coins in Dalaran with the constant Horde-mounted-on-mammoth-jumping-in-the-fountain part ! God how annoying some people can be...

Now missing the cake recipe for "Chef".....

Kommentar von Muurak

This title is not for the weak, it takes alot of patience! With that said, it doesn't have to take very long at all if you're determined. I had zero in fishing and 3 weeks later I was Salty.
Both me and my girlfriend got the fish-mace Steelscale Crushfish from fishing at the Dark Moon Faire. Both within same week.
The Mr. Pinchy companion I got from Mr. Pinchy himself after fishing him up in the heights of Terokkar.
I won the Northrend fishing contest the second time I tried it. The person that won it the first time I tried gave me the tip to fish at the coast in Dragonblight and it worked.
The Lurker below in Serpentshrine Cavern is easy to get if you're 85. I had a friend boosting me since I was only lvl 80.
Old Man Barlo is annoying since he can give you the same quest over and over. However, everytime you do "Crocolisks in the City" you can get a cute little crocodile companion. There are 4 different colors you can get, so not so frustrating repeating that one since it's fun to collect companions.
Even though the Coinmaster achivement can be frustrating it shouldn't take longer than 2 days if you invest the time. And you get a cool little coin at the end of it.
I play Horde so fishing in Stormwind wasn't hard either. One of the waterwalking potions and I just stood on the water outside the harbour, far from both players and guards.
The Scavenger was easy too once I searched wowhead for where each wreckage could be found in Azeroth.
Patience is the key, but all the small rewards on the way (like Mr. Pinchy, the Titanium Seal of Dalaran or the crocodile companions) makes it fun!
Good luck folks!

So, if I'm seeing this right, the maximum number of characters per realm who can get this achievement in one year is 52.

Just got this achievement, took me almost a year to finish. Last three months I was forced to farm mr. pinchy and I didn't cath him until few days ago. This is the achievement I respect the most, because you need lots of patience and luck!

I will continue to strive, to yearn for this title for my character, Ooglepants. I wish everyone the best of fortune UNLESS YOU ARE DOING IT THE WEEK I'M TRYING! I have been thwarted too often, or just too lazy.

OOooooo I just realized that Master Angler of Azeroth is now awarded to 3 peeps per contest! Yay!

Kommentar von Maidenman

Met someone named "Salty Spitoon." Gave them 100g on the spot.

I've found this video guide for the fishing contest very helpful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxpOCec3x_4

I found someone called Salty Vaj. :|

I play a lot of Hearthstone. I NEED THIS TITLE!

As of patch 7.0, this achievement is sadly not obtainable due to the requirement of getting the Meisterangler von Azeroth. Which is also unobtainable due to the Stanglethorn fishing Tournament being removed for a while.

Do You like relaxing by fishing? Do you like chilling beside the sea? Do you enjoy patiently spending hours looking for that one rare fish? Then you'll LOVE the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza! An experience full of frustration, strained nerves and broken hopes as you turn out to be a second too late! And best of all - it can only be done for 15 minutes out of each week's 168 hours! You're welcome, fishing enthusiasts!
Master Angler of Azeroth needs to be removed from the accomplished angler meta achievement. I cannot state this strongly enough. It's is a horrible experience and it completely clashes with the patient fishing spirit of the other achievements included in the meta (and fishing in general).

If you're stuck on Einer, der nicht entkam, for Versierter Angler, Fishing in the river in the Chromie scenario Die Tode von Chromie at Andorhal may offer a (comparatively) quick way to complete it.

There are reports on Wowhead of people needing far fewer casts, and a friend of mine took only 150 or so, but I obtained the 32-pfündiger Wels after a total of 418 No Casts.
This took 8 No 15 minute scenarios.
With a base fishing level of 800, (which maxes out during the scenario), with Extraordinärer Wurm lure, and a Wettergegerbter Angelhut (every bit helps!) gave me a total fishing skill of 1065.

Note that none of the catfish stack, and with an average of 30 catfish alone per 15 minute scenario, you'll need some bag space so you're not wasting time (and lures). By vendoring the catfish and potions, I found that 50 spare slots were sufficient for around three or four runs.

The final tally is below, good luck!

1 No. 32-pfündiger Wels (Hurrah, &c.)
11. No 26 lb Catfish
37. No 22 lb Catfish
100. No 19 lb Catfish
69. No 17 lb Catfish
26. No Green Bind on Equip items
8. Large knapsacks (12 slot)
8. Jade
8. Citrine
1 No. Lesser Moonstone
66 No. Mana potion
78 No. Greater healing potion
5 No. Tailoring and Blacksmithing Patterns
