Woke up early this morning to catch the 6th one before work. There's a window for one of the remaining 7.4 Big Fishes right after I'll get home, but the prep for that is catching 4 mooch fish, so idk if the timing will work out for me.

Back to back, baybee~! Two more of the 7.4 fish caught and I'm over halfway through
Meanwhile, the community has discovered the last unknown Big Fish. They still are testing the data, but it looks like the next window is in 5 days and then downtime for A MONTH wtf

3 of 8! Of the remainder, three don't have windows until 4-6 days from now, one has a staggering 18 day downtime, and one is still undiscovered, although I'm sure the community is getting very close. So I'll probably do something else next, like finish up Phaenna.

2nd one caught! Taking advantage of the fishing community's updated conditions, they narrowed the window for Moxutural greatgar down to a specific 6 minutes. Rather than the 24 minute window I was flailing at over the weekend.

1 down 7 to go of the new Big Fish. No guides yet and only 4 of the 8 have tentatively identified conditions (bait, time, weather, etc.) on Teamcraft yet. I've been trying at windows all weekend and got one just in time to be my first "Week 1" Big Fish!

Only one !!! bite in this Ttokatoa window, but I couldn't reel him in... What's all this pentamelded* gear for, if my stats are too low to reel in a fish after finally getting it to bite.

If I catch just 2 Big Fish every weekend I could get all of them from Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and Dawntrail, possibly including legendaries, before the next expansion... Maybe, lol. Forbiddingway and Cosmic Haze this weekend!

Caught Prime Adjudicator in my first attempted window (reeled him in after the third !!! bite), which is my first Big Fish caught on-patch.

Caught the Furcacauda, then went to try for Planetes since the window was open and it was the same zone. Got the !!! bite right away, but couldn't reel it in. At least I'm happy with this bright red fish.
