Congo Nightly Hunt - This "challenge" is a joke

[waiora]

Catching a 123kg perc on the flat spoon is a joke. Between the people in our group that have been doing this only 1 person have caught a 123kg+ perc in over 40 full nets.

 

The lures we have access to is too small, only 12cm. The required fish size is just below unique and 0 uniques have come out on these spoons. Can catch 2-3 uniques per net using 15cm+ shads or jigging spoons.

Agreed. It took me 6 hours to catch 127kg Nile Perch with 8/0 blue flat spoon. Didn't have any luck with Uniques on it at night.

I think this was a mistake of percentages from other 3 fish...

Nile Perch trophy goes up to 129kg so you have a very little room... I caught a ton of trophys but all of them were always between 85 -> 115.

Anyway, I think it should be looked at and number lowered to maybe 115 or something like that.

I kinda like that it is a challenge, brings a higher reward (not in items) but in the feeling once you make it. But each on their own I guess.

I have spent 5-6 hours (in Real Life) trying to catch the nile perch in this mission as well.  the catch is still evading me after 30 trophies...

ive given up, so has the rest of the group doing it, still between all of us one 1 have been caught. I have personally done over 50 full nets, with 100's of trophies. Uni doesn't bite on the spoon and 123 is ridiculously rare

Took me about 2-3 hours irl to make it. Caught it on 8/0 blue flat spoon at 9pm when peak was absolut top. Pressure was low so i fished low near the bottom using stop and go.

you are part of the lucky 0.1%, i fished nothing but peaks, saw only 2 trophies of 122.3 and 122.5, tons between 120-122 and more lower, leveled all the way from 75 to 78 and 90% just on that challange

Finally a 129kg. Took over 60 in-game days fishing peaks only.  Came out at 10pm full moon with stars.
