Post subject:  99 Fishing on Sharks!

I can happily say that I got 99 fishing on sharks which is only 10k/h.
The amount of money the 55679 sharks I caught are worth 53,451,840gp worth at that time.
Also I got 14 big sharks during my fishing goal.

To me the party itself was awesome and hopefully to everyone else who was there too.
I don't know how many people were there but there were more then I thought would come.
Sorry to everyone on my party I didn't say good day to, there were a lot of people and I lagged a bit so I might not have seen you.
At the time of the party I needed 655 experience to level.
I didn't get it to 30 experience or something like that because I was really afraid of Evil Bob's island event.
When I was about the to level i said "enter the message when you see fireworks", sadly that didn't work out well.
Someone entered the message too early and ofcourse most people followed.
When that happened I clicked my print screen button like a mad man.
After that I asked people to enter their message again and everyone did.
Then again when I did get the level no one entered their message and I clicked my gratz window away and after I did that people did enter their messages again so I once again clicked the print screen like a mad man.
But as you can see my 99 fishing screenshot looks ok thanks to modern technologies.

I would like to thank everyone that came to my party, you guys are awesome and I love you all! <333

And now a small history about my fishing...

When I was training combat and my HP got low I just let it regenerate by waiting.
After a while I got tired of letting it regenerate all the time so I decided to train my fishing and gain food to train combat at the same time.
First I did some net fishing until I was able to use a fishing rod.
By the time I fished with a rod I already had already quite some bait and feathers banked.
I didn't have so much bait but I did have a lot of feathers banked from when I trained on chickens in the first month of Runescape.
The reason I saved the feathers is because they were stackable so I didn't have to bank and the biggest reason is because my friend said feathers are quite usefull.

When I finished with bait fishing and fly fishing I had enough fish to train combat.
After combat came a big F2P woodcutting goal so I didn't need food for that.
Almost a year after I last fished for food I started fishing again because I wanted to train combat again.
This time I needed better food because I started training combat on ice giants.

I was about level 51 at that time so I could fish all F2P so as patient as I am, even back then, I started on swordfish at the Karamja docks obviously.
When I went to Karamja I always brought a tinderbox and an axe to be able to cook my tune and swordfish there.
The reason I did that was because I didn't want to bank my tuna but I wanted cooking experience from them.
After I cooked the tuna I sold them to the shop in Karamja to get the traveling costs back.
It took me quite a while to get a decent amount of food banked so my friend, Potterina, suggested that I changed to lobsters, which I did.
It did go way better and I kept on doing that until 73 fishing, the level I got P2P with.

When I got P2P I did some random fishing until I got the level to fish sharks which I quit fishing for a while after.
Some time later I needed a lot of sharks because I was running out of the ones my friend gave me when I became P2P and if you know me then you know I didn't want to buy the sharks.
The problem was that I had a low cooking so I'd burn most of the sharks so my plan was to fish trout and swordfish until level 90 fishing and after that I'd go to 91 fishing on sharks.
Ofcourse I completed that goal quite easily and got quite a cooking level of 96 after this goal.
About a year and a half later, while randomly getting 92 fishing from fishing events, I decided to go for the ultimat fishing level.
Again the decision was made due to a shortage of food.

I decided to get 99 fishing on the hardest but most rewarding way possible, by sharks.
During the goal I did not use any experience boosting equipement such as shark goves and Stealing Creation harpoons, even though it's been suggested.
So after a 2-3 months of fishing I finally got 99 fishing and I ended up with 55679 sharks and 14 big sharks

congrats dude lol that's a pretty nice accomplishment, I didn't even try to fish sharks intill after 99. It was too slow before that. So for you to do that all the way to 99 is pretty cool. Plus u made a nice chunk of change. Well again grats and gl with your next goal.

Nice job, that is really impressive but I don;t see why you didn't use the shark gloves...

I didn't use shark gloves because it would reduce the amount of sharks I'll end up with in the end.

And it took me 1 or 2 hours to write all that, but it's worth it.
