I don't use a controller but can identify 3 distinct pulls/tugs based on the sound of the rod creaking.

Well I'm at least glad to hear that I'm not the only one who finds the Ala Mhigan Ribbon behavior strange. I would have wondered if it was an anomaly unique to that fish, but as I mentioned, I also noticed that I was catching Gyr Abanian Trout with Precision Hookset, and they are also a small (by ilms) fish like the ribbon. Meanwhile I wasn't catching the larger Scimitarfish, Easter Pikes, and Gigant Bass with Precision Hookset, and I believe these are all larger fish. It sure seems like the hookset is based on the size of the fish at this hole.

Anyone notices this behavior at any other new holes? I've explored spearfishing a lot more than regular fishing so far so I'm not sure I would have noticed yet if it is.
