Tonight Trolle McFisher wearing LVL 60 gear, gathering 606, perception 554 out fished me, Wrolle McFisher tonight. I’m wearing LVL 70 crafted gear, gathering is just under 1200, perception 1000.
Trolle caught all HQ Legendary fish (green ones) yet I caught only regular Legendary. I lost every HQ Legendary fish I hooked. WTH is going on? 100% HQ vs 0% at double her stats.

Trolle caught: 1 Endoceras, 1 Ninja Beta, 1 The Grinner, all HQ.
Wrolle caught: 2 Endoceras, 1 Ninja Beta, and 1 The Grinner, not one HQ.

Trolle lost 1 HQ fish
Wrolle lost 4 HQ fish

All fish were caught without patience I or II

We are both Level 70.

How is this possible without being nerfed?

I’m quite puzzled.
