"Mammoth shark off the coast of Azshara" refers to Maws from the AQ scepter quest.

For those of you who got this quest and immediately thought "But there's nowhere to fish in SMV and Hellfire" here's a tip.

There is only one area to fish in in Hellfire, right around the elite in the Pools of Vision. The area you can fish in in SMV is over by Coilskar Cistern.

I chose Hellfire because it's closer, and got it on my second cast.

Comment by Illidana

They can be fished in Shadowmoon Village at the Magma Fields, 31. 37 to be exact. Got mine after 6 casts.
However, I couldn't land a cast at any of the water pools at Coilskar Cistern due to water being too shallow.

Comment by 137994

With 225 skill, +25 fishing pole, and +100 lure, I still had a few fish get away. But, overall it took me about 10 casts to get the quest item in the Pools of Aggonar.

Comment by Ulukai

The hellfire fishing spot is the Pools of Aggonar, around Arazzius the Cruel, tis the only one i could find, probably handy for those without 375 fishing.

Comment by 48128

Finally got one from the Pools of Agganor after 19 succesfull casts.

All the fish i was able to catch got hooked right at the end of the casting bar timer.
Each fish that didn't got hooked at the end got away, and after a whole lot of 'got away's' i finally managed to catch one after all

Comment by 142626

From reading some of the other comments i went to Shadowmoon Valley and got this fish on the first cast at the Magma Fields. Coords were 30. 40

Comment by 54670

If you fish at the Pools of Agganor, don't fish at the southern most part. The fel reavers path right there, and if you don't mount up right away, you get stepped on. happened to me, then my hubby. LMAO

Comment by defektunge

Easiest spot is pools of Aggonar in Hellfire Peninsula. The skill requirement is fairly low, and if you fish in the water behind the altar-like structure you don't have to worry about any mobs or patrols.

Comment by 93197

I caught this sucker on my second cast in The Fetid Pool in shadowmoon valley. The coords are around 26,40, most people will remember it from the quest to get the fel reaver power core. It is directly east of Legion Hold, in the O and the L of the words on the map.

In and out job.

Comment by 143260

I got one on my third cast..right next to Shadowmoon Village. In my reward bag was 7 gold, 5 sharpened fishing hooks and an "Ancient Coin" that vendored for 25 gold. Wow!

Comment by Yume

All daily fishing quests are just luck-based.

Did this one today on my main and got the snapper at second cast in Pools of Agonnar, tried on my alt, same spot just half-hour later and took me 59 casts to get the quest fish.

So just keep trying and be patient.

Comment by 120510

Went to Hellfire at 40,30 with 375 fishig and +100 lure. First cast got it!

Comment by 99900

I personally (and it seems to be others that I have witnessed as well) have horrible luck at the Pools in Hellfire. I've tried their 2 times on my alt and have had horrible luck both times. One of the two times while fishing there, I started at the same time another person did and we finally caught the fish after about the 30th try. However, on my other toon, I've caught it on my first attempt 3 times in a row when I did it at SMV. Perhaps it is completely luck based, I would need a bigger sample to be sure but it seems like I'm going to be heading to SMV from now on.

Comment by 20065

Horde Easy Mode:
1. Fly to Shadowmoon Village
2. Fish lava creeks running through village.
3.
4. Profit

375 fishing skill, +20 pole, no lures

Comment by Keydar

You don't actually have to fish far into SMV. I fished mine on the SMV side of the river just south-east of bonechewer ruins in Terokkar. The east side of the river is considered SMV, the west side Terokkar.

Comment by barfoos

Well, you don't have to travel that far into Shadowmoon Valley.

As the quest text states that the Monstrous Felblood Snapper "only thrives in the waters of Hellfire Peninsula and Shadowmoon Valley", you only have to be in one of these zones to catch this little fellow.

Therefore you can journey straight from Old Man Barlo in Terokkar Forrest to Shadowmoon Valley and stop at the river south-east of the Bonechewer Ruins.
Make sure you are standing on the eastern riverbank in Shadowmoon Valley , cast your line and make a good catch!

It is also a quite peaceful area with only some neutral Shadowwing Owls around.

From my experience it is not necessary to use a lure, I usually get them within 1-4 casts, although this statement is based on a 375+35 fishing skill, you may use a lure to prevent escaping fishes.

Comment by apes2gogo

I went straight to shadow moon valley from Shattrath. You can fish in any of the little lava creeks in SMV. I fished right outside the horde place where there are a ton of elementals. Got it on the second cast! ^^

Comment by 39261

Well, I have yet to find Somewhere that lists the bare minimum skill level needed to cast.
I arrived with all sorts of lures, but low-and-behold I cast in shadowmoon vally with my measley fishing skill of 289 +25 pole.
So, I'm going to assume the minimum level is the same as zangermarsh, 305.
Can anyone confirm this?

Comment by 149740

got it after secand cast in legion hold in shadowmoon vally

Comment by 124642

Some people may answer "It's completely random" but I strongly suggest the fetid pool for this quest.

I went to the pools of aggonar three times (17th, 35th, 9th catch was the lucky one) and to the fetid pool 4 times (1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd catch). I was either extremely lucky or the fetid pool is simply the better spot.

Also, you can stand at the middle of the wrecked fel reaver without aggroing anything and your bait will always land in fishable waters.

Comment by 61183

Shadowmoon and Terrokar border 1st cast

Comment by 48689

I had no luck catching it by the bridge on the border of Terokkar and SMV (where you are standing in SMV but traveling into the edge of the water put you into Terokkar). I traveled a little further south at 70.2, 54.5 and caught it on the 4th cast. So, just be sure that the water you are casting into is part of SMV.

Comment by 156747

219skill + 100 got it on first cast..very easy quest :)

Comment by 160097

Just got the quest flew to SMV and Tek caught it o the 2nd. cast. 375 + 125 lure

Comment by eDGe87

Went from 339 fishing to 344 before getting my quest item, fishing in the pools of aggonar. Guess I was just unlucky. So around 45-50 casts.

Comment by 177090

16.29 smv 3rd cast

update: quest was offered 3x in 5 days fished same spot 3rd cast or less each time

Comment by flamero

Not sure but I think this isn't doable without a lure. Spent half an hour fishing without a lure (+400 skill without lure) in Pools of Aggonar, roughly 100 casts. After attaching a lure it took me a couple of minutes to catch one. Could be random, but I'm definitely going to use lure straight away next time.

Comment by manko

After patch 3.0.2, the drop rate on nearly all of the fishing dailies is 100%. You also get a regular fish in addition to the quest fish. It does not apply to Shrimpin' Ain't Easy, but is true of the 4 single-fish quests.

Comment by Kalx

Since the lauch of 3.0.2 I haven't seen this quest from Barlo, and I'm doing the daily everyday...

Comment by djsixpack14

+1. Same thing on my server.

Comment by zzmorriss

this quest does not spawn anymore for our fishing daily since the release of 3.0.2

I've done the fishing daily every single day since achievement patch was released and HAVE NOT gotten it when before the patch I got it a couple times a week.

Comment by zzmorriss

this quest does not spawn anymore for the fishing daily as of patch 3.0.2 - I have done my fishing dailies every single day since achievement patch and have not gotten it once - When before the achievement patch I got it on an average of 2 times a week.

Achievement is broken

Comment by vaad

Despite the comments of some of the above, I can confirm that this quest is offered since 3.0.2

I've done it twice, at least. I got the achievement for all five tonight.

Comment by Partymonster

this quest does appear, i just learned fishing was gonna farm to 375-450 then i saw that the fishing dailiy quest https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=11665, read it say dont need a certain fishing level so i went to go grab this and i got this one instead which requires 280 fishing and im only at 10 D:

Comment by Nessabean

I swear they're making outland things easier...
I got this fish on the first cast out in hellfire.
While I was doing that, my friend went fishing for some crabs to level cooking-- and got Mr Pinchy on her 3rd cast... she wasnt even trying for him!

Comment by Doranos

I believe this may be bugged for Hellfire fishing in 3.0.8. I just tried this and after about 7-8 casts in Hellfire I still had no Monstrous Fellblood. I was however able to get the Monstrous Felblood on the first cast in Shadowmoon Valley.

Comment by Etreum

Patch 3.0.8

Pools of Aggonnar

450+30 Fishing Skill

Caught on my 21st cast

Comment by 74836

I may be way off the mark here but it looks like after 3.0.8 probably to get over the old crafty exploitation (maybe code was too complex to undo so adding more might have been easier) While you are on a fishing daily you can only catch the daily fish in the area for that daily. It is no longer 1st cast either. At first you may get nothing atall and blame addons but when you get the daily fish and hand in you can fish as normal. I found this out in Terokar while doing the Blackfin Darter daily, I thought it was addons but had a conversation with another player with different addons, both of us disabling and re enabling but having the same problem. We both had however caught the daily fish after a few casts and returned to getting nothing. He then tried fishing out of Terokar with success and I handed in the daily and was able to fish as normal. It dawned on me that this may be to override this exploitation as it was linked to daily for the zone ie a city for crocs.

Edit, looks like they now gone back to how these were in the beginning now after the 2 problematic changes.

Comment by 277782

Patch 3.0.8

It seems they have removed the instant fish catching for the daily fishing quests.

Yesterday it took 17 casts in Stormwind to catch the Croc.

Today, 32 for the Monstrous Felblood Snapper.

I wonder if it is a bug or intended?

Comment by 314661

67 casts in SMV, same spot i've always fished in for this quest. no luck. opened a GM ticket, still no reply. i give up, tickets are a waste of time

Comment by EvilSmoo

Got mine, like 3 casts in. Flew to SMV, the little pool with all the gooey horror things up near the Legion hold.

Comment by Shielda

got the quest fish out of hellfire with no problems after 6 casts. they might have fixed the problem

Comment by Globox

My friend caught it with 247 fishing skill today. Perhaps with 3.1.0 you can do these dailies with any fishing skill?
I don't know what the minimum requirement is in Hellfire though.

Comment by Googla

Comment by 368215

Comment by Mayx

Was fishing for 10 min, noticed I was in a raid.. Left the raid, fished some more.. No luck, went in and out of the Pools of Aggonar, and got it on 3rd Catch :)

Might of been luck, I dunno.

Comment by kasuturo

Just fished it with a Strong Fishing Pole (Fishing +5), a Aquadynamic Fish Atractor (Fishing +100) and Fishing Skill 206 on my 5th try.

Comment by dopfeldecker

For those of you who's still doing this quest, possibly for Old Man Barlowned (which is a requirement for Accomplished Angler):

This is the closest place to fish for the Monstrous Felblood Snapper.

Comment by Neverknow

I somehow fish up a fair amount of Barbed Gil Trouts while fishing for the Monstrous Felbood Snapper.

As to why these fish do thrive in these waters where any other dies, Gnomish investigations have yet to find out.

Comment by Evariste93

Did it on 274 fishing skill, no lure, got it on my 4th or 5th try, every other time i got normal sized snappers.
Luckily, i skilled up to 275 when i caught him :D

Comment by 587186

You don't need to go that far, you can also get it in small lake 26.40 & 31.39 Shadowmoon Valley

Comment by Allakhazam

Reward: sharpened fish hooks x5

:/

Comment by Allakhazam

~30-40 casts at the Pools of Aggonar before I landed the Monstrous version of this fish. Had 14x felblood snapper when I landed it.

Comment by Allakhazam

It took me 1 Cast at the river next to Shadowmoon Village.

Comment by Allakhazam

Another Site I frequent says this quest can be acquired as early as level 63, I am now 64 and Barlo still won't talk to me, is there a min fishing skill level or rep requirement with one of the factions?

Comment by Allakhazam

Any water location in HellFirePeninsula?

Comment by Allakhazam

Just fly to Shadowmoon Village. Within the village walls is a small area of green water on the east side, coords 31,29. You can fly in, catch that monster in a few casts, & fly back to Shat again easy as pie. No mobs to disturb you at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

Second cast at the Pools of Agonar landed me the big one.

Comment by Allakhazam

HellDire Peninsula 40 . 33
Pools of Aggonar - green water over dead Mannoroth.

Comment by Allakhazam

I always fish at 40,60 - just outside of Wildhammer Stronghold (in the pond with the thing being summoned by the bird people). I've always gotten the fish in an average of five casts....

Fly to Wildhammer, fly over the wall and down to the lake. No mobs, just a nice fishing spot....

Comment by Allakhazam

I don't recall ever seeing water in Hellfire Peninsula. Where's it located?

Update: I located it. The Pools of Aggonar can be fished in.

Edited, Mar 26th 2008 8:26am by whitehusky

Comment by Allakhazam

My Fishing Buddy showed 29 casts to the Monstrous. 22 Felblood Snappers, 6 Barbed Gil Trout, and 1 Monstrous. Fished the Pools of Aggonar right next to the big altar with the elite on it. I stood just SE of the altar and never killed a single mob to be able to fish unbothered.

Comment by Allakhazam

2 casts in green river at 48,23 in Shadowmoon Valley

Comment by mewse

For TBC classic I can confirm the river on the border of terrokar/SMV still works, but I think there are spots where you'll be standing in SMV but casting into terrokar.

I spent 56 casts just south of the bridge with no monstrous felblood, then moved a bit further south and cast more towards the SMV side and caught it first cast.

Good luck!

Comment by smokeybones55

24,32 in SMV (Legion Hold). There's a small little pool. Caught on my first cast, with 333 skill fishing +20 for the pole. No lures.

Comment by Ornedgoh

Attention: Doesn't work in WOTLK Classic! You need to have "green" water to even fish the grey version "Felblood Snapper" or even the "Monstrous Felblood Snapper".

Links

Felblood Fillet

Bring a Monstrous Felblood Snapper to Old Man Barlo. You can find him fishing northeast of Shattrath City by Silmyr Lake.

	Monstrous Felblood Snapper (1)

Description

This old man is going hunting soon. I'm gonna take down a mammoth shark off the coast of Azshara.

The thing is, I need a toxin that'll stay on a spear tip while it's underwater. To make that kind of stuff, I need the glands from a poisonous fish: the felblood snapper.

Such a vile fish only thrives in the waters of Hellfire Peninsula and Shadowmoon Valley. Bring me back a whopper and I'll be a happy old man.
