John Robert 'Bob' Fish was a NASCARGrand National Series race car owner whose career spanned from 1955 to 1958.[1]
Career[edit]
He was the possible inventor of the 'Iron Lung' (formally known as a negative pressure ventilator) for his wife who was suffering from circulation problems.[2] Another occasion had Fish cable the President of the United States on a lecture about using a simple pressure box to rescue sailors on a submarine.[2]
He employed Fireball Roberts and Tommy Thompson as his main drivers.[1] They started an average of 11th place and finished an average of 45th place.[1] Fish's drivers would lead only 4 laps out of 106.[1] However, they did manage one finish in the top ten while driving only a grand total of 352.8 miles or 567.8 kilometres.[1] Fireball Roberts' 11th place championship finish in 1958 was the best accomplishment in Fish's career.[1] Mr. Fish would eventually walk away from his NASCAR career earning a meager $390 ($3,456.02 when adjusted for inflation).[1] Fish would also be the inventor of the famous 'Fish Carburetor' which was first made in the early 1930s.[2]
However, the 'Original Equipment' establishment felt that it was an intolerable threat, and Mr. Fish would suffer many years of dirty tricks, harassment and persecution.[2] Fish would eventually move to Florida where he could sell his products to wealthy game fishermen without the harassment he had back in California.[2] Compared to the standard carburetors of that time, Fish's carburetor helped to stop the needless waste of fuel on cornering, braking, and hard acceleration.[2]
For the time, it was considered to be 'environmentally friendly' for that reason alone. Today, NASCAR uses fuel injection, which has made carburetors obsolete in the Sprint Cup Series.[3][4][5]

-How do I earn fishcoins?
Lets start from the beginning. The first thing you want to do is to complete all the stages of the tutorial to get all the coins from it. Then there are some different things you can do.
Bob Fishao
Bobs Minigame
Make sure you visit Bob in Rio Tropical. When you talk to him a minigame starts that lets you pick up 10 coins on the ground. You can do this once a week.
Fishabout 450

This little fella is at a different area every day, offering you a quest to catch some fish for him. He rewards you anywhere from 2 to 4 coins, as far as I have seen.

Achievements
There are two categories here, Local and Global. Just click the little fish to the left of your screen and you can see all the achievements available. Every area gives you 1 coin for just speaking to all the NPC’s there, so that one is easy and fairly quick to do. Another really easy one is to collect seashells at Pinheira Beach.
Tournaments
Here is where you have the highest potential for coins. The more players in a tournament the more coins you can win. The prices are based on the total entry fee for all players (5 coins per player). Winner gets 35%, 2nd place 25% and 3rd place gets 15% of the total entry fee. So lets say there are 20 contestants, that means that 1st prize is 35 coins.
