Fishing progress

[vocal cypress]

So sometimes when I go fishing and a fish gets hooked, no matter what i do, the fish doesnt progress down the bar (it doesn't move at all) so there's no way for me to catch it. Is this because I don't have the better fishing pole? I'm still new to the game so I don't knoooow 🥲

Does it stay mostly red? If yes, you need a better pole or it will eventually snap or take hours to reel in. If it’s not red, could be a bug.

Well I can get it to the point where it isn't red and close to none but when it happens it still seems like it would be one of the harder fish to catch so i'm not quite sure

Some fish take several hours longer on lower quality fishing rods compared to higher quality, so it could just be that. It would be easier to say if there was video of it

I guess I’ll just buy the better fishing rod when I can and if that doesn’t fix it, I’ll post here again 🙃 but ty for your answer @dusty stump
