Testing perception and big fish.
As we upgrade our gear I am seeing many threads about loosing too many fish. I experienced it myself while fishing for my last Olgoi-Khorkhoi and after upgrading to Forager's. Lost 4 landed none.
My test: Traded out the waders (melded to G4 P37) for a pair of Patrician's Gaiters (3 G) and ate HQ crowned pie (G =7% max 17)
Stats with food: Gathering 364 Perception 251. Normal, no food, G 348 P288.
Just hooked two last heat wave, landed one. Totally inadequate statical sampling.
Still, I now have three.
