    Another completely asinine aspect: FISHING

    I live on the family farm where we have 3 ponds, but yet I hardly ever fish. It ain't the fishing I'm against - I just hate cleaning 'em.

    That said like I'm certain many players have - I inadvertently became the owner of a fishing rod somewhere along the way. As I've killed and gotten the perks for all the animals, this evening I decided to give fishing a try. Now I'm aware they have these fancy, smancy rods and a Fishing Perk (which I don't have) that gets ya fancy bait and heavier fishin line, but I notice that some of these fish can garner ya 3 Perk points for just catching one - so I thought I'd give it a try.

    I watch'd a vid on YouTube that covered all the missions and the perk ya "supposedly" needed - but I got a rod, why not see if it's necessary to waste RP points - try to catch one without all that rigamarrow.

    Less than an hour later, using the FREE rod I had - I caught ever fish there is - NEVER ONCE losing a fish (and in some cases I bagged 5 or 6 of the same kind) and gained 23 Perk points plus the $100 bucks each for each fish caught, save one type that only paid $75 each..

    Why in the heck would UBISOFT put fancy rods, multiple baits and missions that waste RP points, when and old fogy like myself, who never touched the fishing rod in my first play-through, caught ever fish in the game in less than a hour using the one rod found, no Fishing Perk and no special bait?

    Hell I got grand-kids and I bet ever one of them (oldest is 8 the rest younger) could do the same it was so easy.


    ps - added, FYI - one of them 3 paddlefish sturgeon things, that paid 3 Perk points weight'd 85+ pounds, now I don't know if that's a record ('cus I'm avoiding RP in my game here and can't check the record board at the Spread Eagle, but heck that sounded pretty big to me)
