Agreed.

Fish does not spawn in tide pool. Fish spawns in ocean waters and becomes caught by this tide pool when tide goes out.

Tide pool in game you can just take fish just like you can take it from cupboard. It has already been caught for you by tide pool, you can just take it now.
Hasta wrote:But, all the shitposting aside, there's one ironclad argument for tidepool loot giving credit for "catching" fish. It gives the DISCOVERY when you find a fish in a tide pool you've never seen before. Therefore, the game thinks you got an item from the wild by yourself (as opposed to taking something placed into a container by someone else), so, yeah, that should give credit for "catching a fish".
Discovering item does not mean you have ''caught'' this item. Only that you have discovered it.
