• TIER 6 BAIT, NEW WEIGHT SYSTEM, Yumi conspiracy theory??? - 13 September 2026

  yoogot some stuff n things for yall today. We did the first round of open testing last night for the endgame level and boss battle. Wider testing will begin on Monday eveningYumi talks about playing GONE Fishing again.... he once again toys with us... Can we believe him? or will we see him on the game Fishing Grind instead? If I were a man who compromised his principles, I would buff gambling to hook him in, but I am just not that guy (im a liar I will buff gambling tomorrow)Changes / AdditionsReworked weight (again)Based on feedback from many of yall, having to fulfil requirements like beer or day count in order to get a max weight fish is not the direction to move forward in.Because of this, I am taking a new approach. First of all, all the buffs from the fish inflation patch still matter, however, they only affect baitscore and fish value now instead of weight.So whats changing? Rath…

• THE FISH INFLATION ACT HAS BEEN PASSED - 10 September 2026

  yoo, quick patch for yall today... its a bit of a meta busterPASSED THE FISH INFLATION ACT THEY ARE HUGE NOWAs you all know, inflation is soaring once again. In order to help combat this, I am taking executive action to combat fish inflation… Except, well, I'm doing the exact opposite… FISH ARE BIGGER THAN EVER To address the feedback… The reason I decided to make this change is because of what yall said in the post I made asking for your feedback. One of the most common issues noted was that players like they would hit a wall on the fish they catch. You all mentioned that you would get to a point where you're not catching legendaries but yet your fish all seemed to be around the same weight and value. In addition, players mentioned that the game felt like it lacked some progression. There is still much more we have planned for improving progression; however, this is a start.Okay Bigsex…
