You have more than enough to catch Kissing Trout. You might be having problems with The Matriarch. You will definitely need to get the i70 gear, use food, or use FC actions.

I have the exact same stats and I'm just making the assumption that all the 2.3 big fish probably require you to use a food.

Central Shroud - Hopeseed Pond
Whatever the Big Fish is here, I'm hooking it, hooked it twice, but it got away each time. Started at 6:40PM Eorzea Time. Weather is Overcast, and I'm using Honeyworms, no mooch. I'm assuming the fish is "The Green Jester".

My stats currently 373 Gathering 293 Perception (this is with food using Spinach Quiche HQ)

my fishings 349/292 pretty sure thats meld capped. Thats with foragers rod, the new fishing hat, and fishing gear full capped, Dodore survival belt capped and with i70 battle jewelry they have higher meld caps for gather and perception 5g/5p but no GP good for fishing just not for mining/botany.
Such as
gryphon skin choker/astral choker
gryphon skin ring/astral ring
astral bracelet/gryphonskin bracelet
rose gold ear screws

That puts me to 349/292 with HQ spinache quiche(24g/10p) that puts me to 373/300 after that you have +10 gather +10 perception guild buffs. If by some miracle I can catch 3 olgoi khorkhoi and have 6 million to blow on new materia the newest fishing rod will add another 10 gather and 6 perception. Fishing drives me batty sometimes HEH gl yall.

Ahh well that explains while i'm a couple short. I'm using all Dodore gear. which explains the 5p/5g im short and I just realised im 1 gather short on body which has penta meld on it.

Only 6mil haha malboro is nearly 14 mil for demi's
