A small Fishing guide
#16
I appreciate the effort put into this guide, but I believe there are two bits of misinformation here.

From what I can tell, there is no difference in the physical size of fish before they are caught (to test this I took several screen shots and did a pixel comparison of duplicate fish, all were the same size), meaning there's no obvious indication of what their quality might be.

Also, it is very unlikely that there is any way to increase the odds of catching rarer fish based on when you click Catch. This is true for any other methods people might try to employ for improving their catch rates (mousing over fish, clicking the edge of the catch button, spinning around in your chair three times, etc, won't work). For such methods to work would also imply that the devs coded it so that it's possible to game the system (hint: the devs wouldn't do that). 

It would take hundreds if not thousands of tests to actually confirm a theory like that, and it's not likely anyone has put in that kind of effort. And without such tests, any observations that confirm these theories are statistical outliers at best and confirmation bias at worse. In all likelihood, the only thing that affects your success in catching rarer fish is to make sure the pool is filled with rarer fish when you hit catch.
