I can see no good reason for this.
Chum is useful on fish with short windows that are straight catches. There's quite a few big fish that it works on.

My biggest complaint with big fish isn't getting them to bite - it's how many of them escape once they do. Nepto Dragon got away from me 25 times before I finally landed it. That was three or four days of fishing for it every single time it was open while I was online. It was to the point where I couldn't even really be happy about landing it when I finally did - basically, all I felt was relief that the frustration was over. I just feel like the hook rate is absurdly low on some of them even now with our higher stats. >.<
