I've just counted over 100 consecutive losses of decent quality lure when fishing for silver bream at 56% chance without a single fish caught. I feel like this is needlessly punishing. Why would I ever bother chasing inferior FEPs if it takes me sixty years and countless lures to obtain a single fish? Calm the fuck down with the chance of you losing your lure. The frankly insanely excessive level of risk here makes me inclined to think this might even be a bug. I know that some fish tend to eat some lures, but yeesh, 0 fish caught and >100 lures lost is just silly.
Also am I misunderstanding what the percentage represents? Because if it's the chance to catch the fish I'm either the unluckiest sod in the world or something's out of whack.
