The problem with waiting is that a lot of the bonus multipliers require a group effort to catch enough fish to trigger them. Also, the bigger the group, the more likely someone will trigger the spectral current. If you wait until interest dies down, you might not get full parties, and that will make it tougher to get enough points for the mount.

I wouldn't worry about getting yelled at. In the dozen or so runs I made, no one said anything to anybody beyond a few greetings at the very beginning. Most people are too focused on maximizing their own score to worry about what everyone else is doing.

One final note, in the run where I finally hit the 10,000 mark and got the mount, there was a guy leveling in the single digits. Even low levels can catch fish and contribute to the group effort.
