Olgoi-Khorkhoi, Found it! New Legendary fish you need 3 of for Halycon Rod Supra

The biggest problem to any kind of extensive testing we try to do is that when a fish gets away, we have no idea how big it is. We can't see if there's a correlation between big fish and failed catches. I'm really not sure how to get the right data here to prove or disprove the hypothesis.

If we assume that the chance of hooking a fish is constant with respect to gathering/perception and the only real variable we're looking for here is the chance of catching a hooked fish, we could check how many times fish were caught vs the fish got away with different levels of perception. We'd need about a thousand data points though to minimize the effects of RNG on the data, and that's a lot of data points...

you don't have to test it on Olgoi. Other fishes weights must be affected by lower perception too if the theory is correct.

While that's true, it doesn't help when we're trying to determine if fish weight determines difficulty of catching a hooked fish or not. Just figuring out if higher perception means higher average fish size doesn't tell us that.
