Is catching pre 3.0 Big Game Fish like Navigator's Brand with i60 gear easier with higher gathering and perception rate as well as the new skills (Hooksets / Patience), food, FC Buffs, etc... like unsynched Primal/Coil farming? Or are the stats capped like high level roulette? I haven't had much luck so far. I would have assumed that with about 150-200 point increase to both stats (guessing) the fish would be jumping into my bag.

Also, can someone explain the 2 hooksets? I'm not quite sure the description provided means anything - they both say "removes inefficient hookstatus" whatever that means. I'm assuming the red one (Powerful) is to increase the chance of HQ but also increase the risk line-breaking? Vs the green one (Precision) increases the chance of catching anything but lowers the chance it's hq?? Is that about right?
