What is this "Dream Fish Voucher" ?

I purchased this float for my UL rod that has a max test load of 5g. But the assembled gear shows the red overload warning, regardless of the hook and bait I put on. This is probably due to the excessive "mass" of this float. There is no other float in the game with a mass larger than its weight.

When cooking the "Fried potatoes with bacon", one serving consumes the full pack of 6 bacon instead of one portion only.

Targeting bleaks at ~60:146, left of the jetty, between it and the reeds, casting medium far in the current, with a light setup : 2 telescopic 8m and 7m, FC 3.2kg, nature fly, depth 33cm. Good surprise: sichels were there, for a bait and at a depth I did not expect them. Non stop casting during half an hour of game, till late in the night (01:00h): 35 pieces / $147

@Kole S I got something similar while trolling at Volkhov. It was a huge catfish, sitting on the ground, and fighting just by the weight of its body (which was far over my capacity). Could see its moustaches only briefly when I brought the boat just over it, but then it sank and disappeared for a new run, followed by a new still position. I fought during 2 days until The Game considered that it was enough and released the fish.

Awesome ! I was laboriously collecting these data from each visit to a café and suddenly they are here, all together, nicely presented and with the Min/Max values as a bonus. I use this data for emptying my keepnet before it reaches 100, keeping only those fishes that might become part of an eventual order. I rely on luck for these orders to appear before the fishes are rotten. @Kole S : as café orders are only active for a couple of hours, how do you expect to capture "all café orders active at all lakes at a glance" ? Do you think there is a pattern of rotation of orders ? They look very random to me.

On my way to Stage 2 of Telescopic rods qualification, I'm stuck with this requirement: "Catch a fish weighing at least 3kg". I am Level 29 and my strongest setup is a Redstick tele rod (cap. 8kg) + FC 7.7kg, looks well above the requirement. I went to Old Burg at 21:67, fished there a couple of hours to see who is there and got nothing bigger than a 3kg black carp. Thinking I was safe, I tried the above setup. After less then 5mn I got a superb bite, ... followed by a superb breakage. Same story the next day, almost immediately also. I interpret this as a clear message from The Game that this setup is not sufficient, which is curious for a Stage 2. The new Qualification system is made to encourage players to follow a certain progression; but is it a normal progression to have such a strong telescopic rod so early ? At stage 4 there is even a requirement for a 6kg fish ! I am reluctant to invest in a heavier telescopic rod as I don't feel safe without a reel when it comes to this range of size. Questions Did some one pass this Stage 2 and how ? Are you guys using the heavy telescopic rods, and how ? If I had to, I would buy the Blade Spirit 700 (18kg - $3357); someone knows this rod ?

As Kole S writes, "it's by design". WarenZ, look at it this way : With your Level 27 status, you need 1.9M XP to reach the next level. A level 38 needs ... 15M ! How could he get 15M XP if the fishes that are offered to him by The Game were not bigger and more numerous than yours? He struggles as much as you to progress, and he may even envy the levels 45 The mechanic behind this is described in my recent post about 1.25 the Golden Ratio in "Player Progression" section. So that I can even tell you that a Level 38 has about 12 times more chances than you (i.e. 1.25 multiplied by 1.25 , and this 11 times, 11 being 38-27). The gear, the skill points, the bonuses do not "explain" the big fishes, they are just "by-products" of the Progression. They make, explain, justify the "1.25". Why does it look so unfair ? Because The Game wants to reward the progression, for players need rewards to continue taking pleasure in this wonderful game. You also are already being rewarded (you have 12 times more chance than a level 16 ), but just not in these weekly rewards. Solution : When I feel frustrated, I return to the jetty of Mosquito, fishing with the beginners, ... and I feel better . If developers were considering improving the "fairness" of the reward allocation, they could easily put in place a handicap system, like in golf or tennis, to level all levels. BTW, same applies to competitions...
