    These come out of the Steam pump flotsom pools. No use for them, just sell it for 6 gold. Nice!

    Got one of these from a Mixed Highland pool in the raised lakes of Terrokar. Nice pocket change! :ka-ching!:

    Hands-down, the funniest item in the game.

    If you're lucky, you had a first experience with them kind of like mine: I caught mine out of a Sporefish pool in Zanga, and I was talking on Ventrillo with my buddies at the time.

    At first you're pissed that you caught a gray item out of a "special" fishing whirlpool.  Then you begin to think about the name... then you guess that maybe it sells for a lot?  And when you finally vendor it for 6g, you laugh out loud =D

    This is a new item just like you used to catch Iron/Mithril Bound Trunks from fishing pools in Azeroth.  It's not the fish you were targeting when you cast into that pool, but it's a pleasant bonus to have in the loot table.  Bravo, Blizzard.

    I actually thought is was a bugged item and bought it back from the vendor just to be sure. 6g is very nice bonus for a gray fish.

    Is it possible to catch those through open-water fishing, or are they only in pools?

      I just caught one of these -- really funny.  A few others I love (not from fishing, either looted or pickpocketed):

      A frayed knot
      A pound of flesh
      A steamy romance novel (especially when you read it, something like, "Oh darling, I love yor long sword, blah blah blah..." and then, "This goes on for several hundred more pages without advancing the plot."  XD  Pickpocketed from a blood elf.

    I caught three in a row in terrokar near allerian and was pissed cause they all came our of a school of darter and I like the fish sticks, then I went to sell them and was surprised to get 18g for the three, thanks blizz for giving us a chance to make some gold while standing there and fishing.

    EDIT: 19 Days later not another vendorfish.....sigh o well more Darter I guess lol.

    Good luck in farming this one. It's drop chance, depending on the location is about 1 in 150 or so.

    6g is a nice bonus for those of us farming, say, motes of water to use. If you were planning on farming it, your time would be better spent farming netherweave cloth, which a stack sells for about the same, and is FAR more plentiful.

    Just another opinion,

    Caught in Terrokar Forest (just north of Shatt City)

    *Did not fish it from a special 'pool'.

    It's just something neat. I ended up keeping mine, like "Shark Bait" (from pick pocketing). You can get 6g anytime but this took me around 2 days of fishing to get- not intentionally of course.

    Most hilarious item in the game!! The name given and the picture associated with it.

    'VendorFish' is synonymous with 'Sell Me'

    Why would anyone buy an item for 25g that has a one and only use of selling to a vendor for 6g?  The only explanation that I can think of is that some noobs buy accounts/gold and are way over-levelled and over monied for their experience.  They then go around spending gold stupidly (and making a nuisance of themselves in parties coz they cant play their characters properly).
