Fish ranking help

[Taskmage]

I can't get the person in the Selbina sales room to accept my fish. Do I have to wait over a week for them to stop displaying the results of the last contest before I turn in my entry for the current one?

Yea you have to wait until the listing is over. While the NPC gives you list, it will tell you the previous rule if you ask about it. So don't collect that fish yet ^^;
It will tell you a new fish once the listing is over

D'oh. >< That's not very well explained. When they tell you the rule they say "The fish with the greatest length and weight will be the winner" so I thought that rule was for the next contest.
