That happens whenever a player disconnects after placing in the contest. The 'bogus mob' appearing that is, as it replaces the old name stored with that, and keeps it even if the person who disconnected relogs.

Makes sense.
I /did/ check it just as a player d/c'ed.

This has been corrected. Basically now the game will track your progress in fishing contests through disconnects; this may have the side effect of causing extra 'updated placing' messages if the person who reconnected is in the top 3. If this becomes an issue/abused then I can find an alternate solution but since we're so close to update time, I'll let it be for now and deal with it later if necessary.
