unless you’re catching sardines or main quest fish (which you can buy) in the baby area, there’s an 80% chance that the fish will get away on the first frame, because you didn’t predict correctly in which direction it was going to pull, and if you somehow succeeded but used a lure instead of live bait, you’re going to catch seaweed or rusty buckets. and the casting animation takes longer than some boss fights, i’m not even joking
