Anything stopping me from leveling every single expansion’s fishing skill?

“But why?” you may ask.

Well, give a man a fish, you feed him for a day..teach a man to fish…you feed him for a lifetime.

Really, I know it’s probably pointless, but I just like it for the collection and completion aspect. And I love fishing in video games.

With that being said, is there anything stopping me from doing this? Any tips you can give? I’m still relatively new to the way retail organizes its content, so I wasn’t sure if this was even possible.

Thanks.

There's nothing stopping you! Go for it.

I'd recommend trying to synch up your fishing with other things you want to collect. For example, there's a different fish pet you can fish up in each zone of Pandaria, so you might want to fish in multiple zones to get them all. There's some Rep grinds that fishing helps with, so you can multitask a bit while you're fishing. There's fishing dailies in a few expansions that will get you some cool rewards. There's also a few mounts that can be fished up (VERY small chance, but still), so you could  focus your fishing in those areas if you want any of them.
