After all the login complications I caught it within 5 minutes. Finishing my log and beating that Japanese record on FF14angler. XD This fish gave me so many problems I don't even want to remember it plus the weather.. ugh.

Anyone working on Armorer? I've been fishing it for 6 straight EZ days and only get Halibut with Krill Bait.

Yeah I've saw, but every time I get a "big fish" animation it's that damn Halibut lol. G358/P289 Driving me mad lol....but I guess this is karma for getting my other 16 big fish within minutes of trying lol.

After this fish and Junkmonger I will be done with La Noscea.

I finally caught the guy, seems he likes to be around foggy/strong wind (3 trees) weather based on other comments on him.

Night time definitly seems to be his preference also as he's "escaped" a few times before I caught him.

Grats! And thank you, OP updated :D.

As a lvl 50 Fisher with a fully melded AF set and Relic Rod, who fishes purely for cooking profit (Giant Catfish HQ, Mahi-Mahi, Razor Clams, Rothlyt Oysters, Fullmoon Sardines, Silver/Hammerhead sharks), is there a reason to obtaining the i70 Fishing Rod for someone who fishes for the matterials vs. the Fishing log?

Asside from pure Achievements, will this Rod effect my style of fishing? Will the enhanced Gathering/Perception push me above a plateau that increases my chances at landing the moochables (HQ Silver Fish/Melthor Goby)

Or is this simply something they added for bored fishermen to do? To compare logs/greatest catches etc.

I'm trying to figure out if i should waste my time even trying to get this rod due to the way i fish. (Foragers Hat already obtained from 2star BTN/Miner)
