So, I've decided to not look into this at all, but my understanding is that you're scored by like, size and weight of the best fish or added up fish total by the end of some fishing time limit. So like...isn't this mostly up to the fish? This meta feels VERY rng driven and hardly suitable to competitive play. im-vegan , but it came to kind and I'm curious how the fuck anyone gets credit here. If anything it should be whoever can catch any fish first.

    Poker has quite a bit of random chance in it too and it's also very successful for competitions

      Poker isn't entirely chance and there's calculated risk. Not guessing what's under the water you're casting at is alive and big but also hungry

        Yeah and there's different lures and baits and fishing tactics too

        Not trying to defend the integrity of a sport centered around harming and terrifying animals for fun, just saying there are factors the fisherman can affect
