I really hope that this fish has a high catch rate because a fish being unavailable that much is worrisome. A slippery fish or challenging fish is one thing, but a fish that is unavailable for 3 weeks on average? A fish that will be unavailable for over 90 days later in the year? I wonder how people will feel about Purse during the 90 day downtime.

I already hear people joke about how fishing is a job for people who are unemployed. Do you work a job or have school? I guess you gotta be willing to ruin your sleep schedule and hope/pray you can attempt to fish for Purse every couple months or so.

I don't mind the idea of fish having less availability than others. I think it's nice to not constantly feel obligated to go to a fish every hour or every day, but a downtime of 3 weeks on average? This is going to have a similar impact anyway. There have been times where I really tried to catch a fish and had terrible luck, but I felt okay with taking a break because there will be other windows. For Purse, however, I feel obligated to go to as many windows I can because of how few windows there are and how many of those windows I'll actually be able to make.

As a fisher, I like to fish. I want to fish. The idea of waiting a couple months at a time so that I can fish for 5 minutes, especially a straight cast fish, doesn't feel great. Overall I've been very happy wish FSH this expansion. We got some great abilities and fun new mechanics. If this fish truly isn't bugged, I hope we don't see another like it.

If we are going to have extremely rare fish wish huge amounts of downtime, I think I would want to see that as a separate category from Big fish? Maybe legendary fish (fishing ultimate) and there's like one an expansion with it's own achievement(s).
