Perhaps you were trying to "blindly" Triple Hook a !!! fish outside Spectral Current? If you do that, you will likely lose your GP for Triple Hook because the !!! could be a Spectral Fish, and Spectral Fish has a high chance of getting away. So if you encounter a !!! outside a Spectral Current, you should approach with care and avoid using Triple Hook.

After all, even if you managed to catch it, your Triple Hook effect is nullified, since Spectral Fish yield is only 1 even under the effect of Triple Hook. This "always 1-yield" rule also applies to all Intuition Fish as well, so please do NOT use your Triple Hook on them.
It is common enough for it to happen on several occasions in Spectral Currents, using Identical Cast/Perfect Catch/Triple Hook. This is extremely unfortunate, perhaps, but this system ought not to allow this to occur in the first place, regardless.

It also happens to normally-hooked fish, without using Patience I/II, at a decent enough rate to be noticeable and annoying, despite being at lv90 and using current BiS gear.
