Sounds like fun. Does it matter where the fish are caught? I'm just wondering what planets have the largest fish :<)

oh the agony.................

[Topgun_68]

I never fished back on live so this is new and fun to me. Questions though. My chum bait has a quantity of 1 - 7 or so and when you drag it to the rod, the whole thing disappears. Is that a bug or should only 1 quantity so on the rod and not the whole thing. I didn't see a way to split the chum into single quantities. Largest fish I got so far was a medium 1.07 size.

That is a bug it will only show the 1 even though you loaded more but the usage is correct. You will be able to keep fishing until all baits in the jar are used up.
The way to check that is to count how many times you have to re-bait. It should equal the amount of baits that were in the jar.

Glad you are showing an interest and good luck

You can fish anywhere, any planet!

Good Luck hauling in the big one

You can also check by looking inside the rod. The fishing rod opens up just like a backpack or container (use the radial menu and select "open"). Once you've opened the fishing rod, you should see the correct amount of bait. This is particularly useful if you're starting to fish, but can't remember how much bait is left on your pole.

[Topgun_68]

Thanks for info. I did see the correct amount in the rod, but it just didn't seem like it last as long as when you put them in one at a time because it obvious never prompts you for it once its saved in the rod. I have to check again but I don't ever remember it being lost and replaced when its in the rod. I'm not finding many big fish out here. What's the largest everyone found so far?? Just wanna know if I'm even close to it. Mine is 1.11m I believe.

I caught a 1.61m Striped Fish some time ago it's hanging in the Fishing Hut. The size seems to be completely random. I would say any fish above a meter in length has a chance to win. There may be larger ones out there, I don't know.
Anyway
Have fun and good luck

The instructions say to keep 2 fish, in case of a tie-breaker. Should we register both fish tomorrow?

Also, are we simply offering our fish to the vendor? Do you need an e-mail from us once we've registered the fish?

Good question, yes we will register the two largest fish you caught. Deedia and I will be available at the 'FISHING HUT' or online throughout the day
but definitely between 3:00PM and 4:00 PM, the last hour of registration. If we are not at the Fishing Hut but online send a tell. I have a list of all participants
and we will ask you to put the two fish and the qualifying fishing pole into a trade window from which we will record the results. Remember that the fish CAN NOT
be filleted.

See you tomorrow
