I had a random idea and I’m sorry if it’s already been suggested but as I reeled in a fish I reflected how fish stay on the reel instead of going “in-hand” I know this solves full inventory issues but I thought that it would be super cool if you could re-cast any non-trophy fish and use them as bait fish. The mechanic is almost already implemented and would be a fun new strategy that players could explore. I think it would reward patience and invested time as well as it has a good intuitive feel. As of now, often players will cycle and recast when they don’t see a trophy fish. This would present players interesting choices. “Do I recast and hope to get a trophy to spawn, or do I catch this little guy and have a 90% chance of spawning a trophy if I bait fish?
Also, giving players more choices feels good in this case. Players would have an additional choice of whether cooking a small fish for health or using it for bait is more important to them. Seems like a win-win.
