I don't pay a huge amount of attention to this forum, so it's possible this could have been hashed out already. However the last time I looked it seems to me that the consensus was that skill level did not affect the item fished so much as the likelyhood of catching something vs nothing vs trash..... ie if you caught something good your chances of it being cod were as good as your chances of catching snapper or fresh fish..... and while that may in fact be true, I do have an interesting tidbit to add to the discussion.
I recently found myself spending an inordinate amount of time fishing in AS.... big surprise there
..... with my 53 cleric who has fishing skill of 200. I caught a wide range of fish from 5 to 15 pounds, and enjoyed myself for quite a while. However I got to a point where I needed the cleric for other things, and didn't much care for the trip, so I grabbed my 47 necro who had a fishing skill of oddly enuf 47, and took him out there instead. As expected I got a lotta no catches and sandels etc etc, but what threw me was when I caught a 1 pound saltwater tuna..... my cleric NEVER got a 1 pounder. I had taken 64 stacks of bait, and after about 15 stacks I noticed I had around 17 1 pounders, and 19 2 pounders. I was reading a book while I fished, and throughout the day I spent probably 6 to 7 hours total using up all the bait. What's interesting, is that when I went to sell, I had not caught a single other 1 or 2 pounder, the same stacks of 17 and 19 were never completed. I would guess that when I first saw those stacks, my skill was somewhere between 80 and 100, but that's a very rough guess, couldn't have been over 110 or so though, cuz I checked the skill at 120 not too terribly many stacks after that. So, what I see is that it took less than 15 stacks to catch 17 1 pounders, and over the next 49 stacks I caught exactly 0 1 pounders..... this would seem to indicate that skill level has a direct link to the item caught, and specifically that after a certain skill level it is impossible or nearly impossible to catch fish below a certain weight.
