Whacking someone with a fish is a classic staple of slapstick comedy that is repeated in all kinds of works. This fish is not a reference to all the 50,000 things you've seen with fish-slapping in it. Someone please remove the unnecessary clutter in the Trivia section.

"Having one's health completely drained by an '''invertebrate''' is even more morally depleting"  Fish are vertebrates.  I'd change this, but then the sentence would not carry the same connotation. --[[User:Highlighter|Highlighter]] 03:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Whoops, biology fail on my part. Replacing with "ectotherm" (cold-blooded). [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 03:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== So... ==
 
 
 
What does it actually DO, anyway? -- [[User:MistahFixIt|MistahFixIt]] 01:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Counts the amount of times you slap people with it. That is all. [[User:Balthazar|Balthazar]] 01:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Lvl ==
 
It is a Level 42 Fish, but I can't edit so I'm going to leave it up to the moderators. [[User:CANPoo|CANPoo]] 02:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Hum.. ==
 
Yeah, the kill stacking thing has bugged a lot of stuff out side of tf2. It has bugged out mostly mods like HLXCE, and a few other plug ins out there for source mod. Maybe valve will change the way that the damage log is displayed or the events that it shows when the stacking happens.

== Kill message ==
 
 
 
Every time you hit somebody with the Mackerel, a kill-message in the upper right corner is created or updated, confirming the humiliation of the victim being beaten with a fish.
 
So first hit shows "attacker <mackerel icon> x1 victim" second hit shows "attacker <mackerel icon x2> victim" and so on... When the victim is killed the message looks like this: "attacker <mackerel icon> FISH KILL! victim>".[[User:El duderino|El duderino]] 02:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:Very fun to use. Anyway, a couple things. In Arena, since each hit displays a kill notification, it counts as a kill. Meaning if you are the first one to do damage it gives you first blood. [[User:Rhonlore|Rhonlore]] 01:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::Interesting.  That arena bug sounds like something Valve might be patching up soon. ;-)-[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]] 02:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::: Definitely something that needs to be fixed. --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}} 03:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
::::One thing I have noticed at the moment is that each hit also counts towards the "A year to remember" achievement with a kill counting as 2 towards your progress. [[User:Worm104|Worm104]] 13:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::::Not only that, it adds toward kill streaks in HLstatsX; you can easily rack up ultrakills and raise your ranking.[[User:Alphard|Alphard]] 10:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Damage ==
 
 
 
Is the damage right in that it's higher than the regular bat? I don't think that's right. [[User:Lemonpieman|Lems]] 00:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Taunt ==
 
 
 
They should totally make this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s] the Holy Mackerel taunt.--[[User:Piippo|Piippo]] 17:35, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Humiliation ==
 
 
 
Honestly, i think the Fish feels more humiliated about being a killer...--[[User:Awesome Weegee|Awesome Weegee]] 03:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Viewmodel Glitch ==
 
 
 
This will probably be patched out soon, but if you equip the Holy Mackerel and then swap your viewmodels to left-handed mode, the fish becomes heavily glitched, almost imploding.

: This is already expressed as trivia in this article. If and when they do patch it, feel free to move this point underneath a 'Previous Changes' section on the page. Add the picture as well if you want, it will serve as a good indicator to those who cannot imagine an inside out fish.--[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 20:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
