small fish = big fish

[osma]

Dont know how feasable this is, but it makes complete sense to be able to use small fish (like roach or perch) as bait to give better chance at bigger fish. cant be rotten or cooked.

Excellent idea - totally agree
It would add a bit more realism to fishing and then maybe different small fish depending on weight would have a different modifying factor to the fishing algorithm

Noo, then I won't be able to use those discarded small fish for divine favours! I totally oppose this idea!!


Just kidding, but you didn't need me to say that did you?
This makes sense, except: not all fish eat smaller fish. Some eat bugs or other marine creatures besides their fellow fish, so using a fish bait might not attract them at all.
Also, since most fish are a bit bigger than worms, I'm thinking it would call for some larger hooks...

If you fish using a GIGANTIC sturgeon as bait, you should be able to catch 50x very tiny roach at once...

Opposing the idea, based on: fishing is supposed to be fun, not science

Otherwise, sounds neat. I wonder if i can use termite queen to catch something too...
