Legendary Fish

[Rob_cheese]

When I first started this game I used to think 'Unique' fish were just that - unique! A once in a lifetime capture, by definition a rarity. However since fishing in Europe in places like Ghent and Germany it seems Uniques are far from being a one off. In one day I have caught up to 6 Unique Common Bream in Ghent as well as 5 Unique Ide and just finished a session in Germany where I netted 12 Unique Tench (and 49 Trophies) in a day. Don't get me wrong I appreciate catching these fish and very much welcome the xp and the cash but a 3.5lb Bream (the smallest I have caught) is not really a 'Unique' and neither is a 3.9lb Tench! However rather than tweak all the algorithms for all the fish in all the venues (certainly in Europe) I thought it would be nice to have a 'Legendary' category of fish. A realistic but supersized specimen that's out there lurking in the depths. Something around 10%- 20% bigger than the biggest Unique.

This would not only revitalise old venues but but provide a real challenge. The kind of capture to get you on the front of the Fishing Planets equivalent of the 'Angling Times'

However this real 'Unique' specimen should not be able to be fixed at a certain location but could be caught just about anywhere. This would then avoid the situation of people simply watching a Youtube video and staking out the spot. In other words there would be any number of spots where this 'legend might turn up - just like in real life.

I suppose for me the closer Fishing Planet mimics 'real' fishing the more I enjoy it and the possible capture of a 'monster' is what made me go fishing in the first place. 

Just a thought
