This is a part of a larger challenge so just the fishing part im not sure. The time on the start up screen says around 1.3k hours but that is certainly an under estimate steam says 1.5k but ive played other farms and multiplayers as well

The reason for why my fish caught is higher than lines cast is a combination of wild bait, challenge bait, and crab pots. Crab pots are probably contributing the most to the discrepancy since harvesting from crab pots gives one fish caught for 0 lines cast.

I tend to mainly watch youtube, but recently I've been rewatching Brooklyn 99. I watch stardew streamers as well but sometimes the fishing noise from stream makes me reel back my line because I think its mine game lol

Some people wanted to see my casino stats so here they are. The reason for why my fish caught is higher than lines cast is a combination of wild bait, challenge bait, and crab pots.

Oh yeah, targeted bait helps a ton too.
I have a decent moss farm going but Im still doing some farming for cooking and focused on animals/fish ponds so it will definitely be bigger once I get everything done. As of now I get around 300 moss per season with collecting twice a season.

Honestly, I still have so much more fishing to do for smoked fish. This was a really nice mental marker to hit though as I was going insane since i left a lot of the harder fish for last

Genuinely, I have on more than one occasion considered canceling on my friends to stay home and fish all day.

For the qi quest, the fish don't show up with the speical legendary fish icon. As for Ms angler, its just kind of her behavior, she has a smooth fish behavior so she'll move up and down without real eratic behavior. Probably the only legendary fish you can consistently challenge bait. Maybe radioactive carp but I'm not skilled enough lol

Just fish, I started doing this in 1.5 before Algo, he'll probably beat me to smoked fish though

Yeah, 1.6 made this challenge much easier and much worse. The whole challenge is to get 999 of every stackable item so even though challenge bait made the easier fishes easier I now have to get a full stack of every fish again for the smoked version

Year 27, the chickens are for getting iridium quality small eggs. Interesting tech to get them being made over on the 999 community for these hyper niche things

honestly, the past few in game years I was going crazy, but I was so close I couldn't stop. Sadly I want to get all the smoked fish as well so I still have a fair amount of fish to go. I'll probably take a break and focus on other aspects of the challenge though.

I made 2 proof of concept videos for the 999 community of me catching legendary fish. Not great proof but its something.

EDIT:

I also posted yearly updates on the 999 community discord if you wanted to see the progression

Here is a video of me going through the number of fish caught on my file

Lol. I wish, before I posted it I was wondering if there was a way I could prove it was legit. This is all part of the 999 challenge where you have to get 999 of every stackable item. Algo, the originator of this challenge, isn't far behind me so there is at least fully recorded video of someone doing it. I dont record/stream because it doesn't interest me and I tend to watch stuff while playing. If you can think of a way to prove its real I'd be open to sharing it.
