Hello old fishing buddies! It’s been awhile since I played cuz I retired shortly after catching all of the fish to complete the fishing book years ago. I was second to do so just by 2 or 3 hours(after last set of bigger fish were released during those timed events). My nightmare was trying to catch a gold weight ??? at spot 3 (waterfall). I forget the name atm but I remember I had to catch something like 150 of them in a row before I finally got a gold weight to complete the book then they released the bigger fish in 3 separate events I think so the 5-6 of us who had all the original gold weight fish would get on and fish all day and night till we had all gold weights on them(those were timed events back then for those bigger fish so you had to put the hours in or you wouldn’t complete all the gold weights forcing you to fish in the next event which might be 3weeks away or longer). Fun days back then. We even kept a running tally on all records of each species so if you sent in your screenshot and it was heavier than the posted record, we verified it and gave that player the new world record. Those were fun days! There was a handful of us that donated our time to keep the records updated but after awhile no volunteers and it faded away.

Anyways, just wanted to give a shoutout to my old fishing buddies. I see several of you are near level 300 now. No way I will ever see 300 or even 200 lol. Congrats.

Btw, idk when they added platinum to the fishing book as I did the new update this past week and finally checked it out. I still have to open spots 13,14,15 from a previous update. My question to anybody that knows the answer about how is the platinum fishing working? Is it just random like catching the gold weights or is the fishing different like speedier/trickier to catch? Use different lures?

I have no desire to get all the platinum fish but I wouldn’t mind catching one before retiring again. I’m out of lures so I would have to make a bunch.

CATCH YOU LATER, FISH ON!!! ARCHER MIKE
