question to vets

Fishing can be very frustrating if you are trying to get a particular fish but can otherwise be very relaxing.

People always say that, but I wonder..when would I ever fish WITHOUT wanting a particular fish? xD

Either I want the one I need for a quest, or the one I'm still missing for my fishing log, or want bigger in my fishing log, or the one that I need for my culinarian's recipe, or the one that sells for the most, etc.

It's relaxing when you want a bunch of a relatively easy to catch fish, or at least one you can keep trying for whenever you want. It's frustrating when you first have to have the perfect weather conditions at the perfect time of day to attempt a lucky double mooch that might in really rare cases provide the fish you want (but most of the time, it won't).

Ug... Fishing was fun while I was leveling it. Now that it's maxed and I'm trying to complete quests for it, it's become an awful chore. I think The Beast of Brewer's Beacon has pretty much put me off fishing entirely.
