A Fish Tale - a P99 Event

The lakes of Norrath are ancient, mystical, and full of secrets. But no tale is more powerful—or more suspicious—than those told by wandering adventurers about the one that got away.

This World Lake Day (August 27th), seek the mystical fish spirit at docks around Norrath and tell your best, boldest, most unbelievable fish tale! Did you nearly catch a kraken the size of Kelethin? Did a fish steal your boat? Or maybe you are the fish?
A mysterious aquatic spirit will judge each tale. The more outrageous, the better. But be warned—only the most entertaining stories will win the spirit’s favor. Have your stories ready, as we all know the attention span of a fish is!

Prizes and Rewards:
Story judged most ridiculous or creative wins a fishing themed item!

Participation is free, laughter is mandatory.

Yeah!! Thats so cool!

It's an in-game event, not a forum one.

Ah, yes. I was fishing in Lake Rathetear, as one does, enjoying a quiet afternoon. A serene setting, or so I thought. I had my spellbook open, reviewing a few of my more potent teleportation spells. Suddenly, a ripple. A flash of silver and blue scales. And before I could react, I saw it—a large, peculiar fish with scales that shimmered like mithril.

I watched, intrigued, as another adventurer came to the shore. He didn't seem to notice me at all. I recognized his armor; he was a Paladin. From his pack, he pulled a small pouch and tossed something into the water. The strange fish immediately swam up and consumed it.

What happened next still gives me pause. The fish began to glow with an intense, white light. It shimmered and changed, and in a puff of mist, it was gone. In its place stood a High Elf woman in royal robes.

She spoke with the paladin, then, with a flash of light, she simply vanished. I stood there, utterly dumbfounded, as the paladin put away his pack and began to walk off. I didn't tell a soul. After all, what wizard would admit to being out-magicked by a fish? No one would believe me anyway.

not a traditional exaggerated, or unbelievable fish tale story but the idea of witnessing a paladin doing the princess lenya quest then trying to tell someone about it i think qualifies.

Guy is fishing in a Lamborghini.

My fish finder lead me to the back door of the Seafarer's Roost when I saw her. A strapping adventurer as well as fishmonger that I am led me to inquire whither or not she was a princess fallen from an island in the sky. She smiled a mouthy grin like a barricuda. I asked if could dip my pole in her tackle box. She coyly replied that I must be NO RENT and consumed two stacks of short beer without ever taking her eyes off me.
