Fishing needs to be changed to function like mining or botany give us ability

Nooooo don't touch my lvl 50 fisher plz.

The current system is the best ever, here is how u fish:

1- go to the spot you want
2- go invs
3- select the bait u want
4- connect X360 controller
5- close down your monitor
6- go to bed with the controller "ignore wife/gf comment"
7- Fish!!!
8- ???
9- profit

Exactly, it is (you can fish) as you wrote. I'm doing similar thing. Fishing in my kitchen (real one) far away from my TV or while watching movies (not seeing game screen). THAT is the reason for a change in fishing in my opinion.
Is it realaxing? No. Is it fun? No. Do you have to think even a little while fishing? Not to count baits, no.
I think fishing should be made fun by making it a not demanding mini game, which let you forget about other things. Something that, as it was said by Yoshi himself, let us relax. Not make us living bots only pushing one button when fish bites.
