I'm going to throw this thing at the wall if this happens in Master Quest, too. After 400+ rupees, 20+ failed attempts, and literally (I know because I looked at the clock) 5+ straight minutes of reeling and almost 2 minutes of the thing flopping around at my feet, I caught the friggin' fish. I can't ever remember this happening in the N64 version. I'll probably just catch it on the first try by sheer luck before this is answered, but I have to ask if anyone else has had this happen to them, because from what I've seen online, nobody has.Īlso, I'm playing the 3DS version. As far as I can tell, whenever I walk/swim to close to any fish whatsoever (or get its interest and fail to catch it), that fish swims to the middle of the pond and simply becomes un-catchable - I can't even target the fish anymore. This isn't isolated to just the one fish, either. I've spent hundreds of rupees on this thing. I have to do this EVERY TIME I fail to catch the fish in one try. Except, EVERY time I lose the fish - whether it just loses interest, or it bites and I fail to catch it - it swims to the middle of the pond, and I CANNOT get its interest ever again unless I leave the fishing pond, re-enter, pay again, and make another attempt. I use the fishing rod, and attract the attention of the big fish by the log. Okay, so I'm trying to catch the 15-pound lunker in the fishing pond as an adult to get the Golden Scale (which is frustrating enough in itself, with the way the fishing seems to work.).
