Here are the results for the 1994 SCARYFISH Records Contest! Thanks to all who entered. All 1994 entrants were registered users, explaining why so many of the records were set at registered user, "sequel", and user- created worlds. Please note that you don't have to be registered to enter the contest. GRAND PRIZE WINNERS ------------------- Biggest fish landed, any of the original species: A 132-pound, 14-ounce Gar caught by "Dad" at the Gulf Coast world! Most Points, any session length: 36292, again by "Dad" at Gulf Coast! A fantastic session! FIRST PRIZE WINNERS ------------------- Most Fish, any session length: 71 fish caught by "Dad" at Minnesota Lakes! That's a lot of fish! Most 2nd prize records for a character, excluding above: 34 set by "Dad", sweeping the Grand and First prizes for 1994! Congratulations to "Dad" for his outstanding performance in the contest! _______________________________________________________________________ Here's the complete list of records, including the Second and Third prize winners. Second place winners get a free update of the ScaryFish game. Third prize winners don't get sent anything, but their characters get mentioned in this file! All of the below records are Second prize winners except for the Most Points and Most Fish positions 2-10 and Biggest of a Species positions 2-5 (and of course the RYWBA records). Note about "world" names: A * in front of a world name indicates a world created with the Make Your Own Worlds utility. City Park Lake, Local Bass Lakes, and Medium-Sized River are shareware worlds. Medium-Sized River II, Mississippi River, Ozark/Mid-South Reservoir, Ozark Stream, Minnesota Lakes, and Boundary Waters are registered user worlds. Stocked Reservoir, Appalachian Stream, Wisconsin Wilderness, Ice World, Gulf Coast, and Alaska Frontier are Sequel Worlds. See the file ORDER.FRM or the menu item "Registration/Ordering Info" in the game for more information.

In future years all species will be eligible! _______________________________________________________________________ Biggest Of A Species Records! The real-life world record was surpassed for several species! These records, along with "Most Of A Species", give clues about which worlds might be good for particular species. Regarding apparent ties for weight, the program knows the exact weight of the fish allowing them to be ordered correctly.
