27:07 - Showing inventory after 50 attempts. (2 of which were failed attempts. One accidentally pulled the float out early, the other was the big fish went out of bounds)
So from the research I've done your absolutely correct. Using fish paste and catching only the small fish is the way to go. Also I feel like night fishing gives you the best chance to snag sacks. I was able to catch 11 smalls and 2 bigs during 1 night shift. It was about 50 attempts. FYI I'm using the bamboo rod to fish.
@@kohee-e Before a fish bites, you see it's silhouette. After fishing for so long I got used to what the different sizes looked like. If it wasn't the size I was wanting, I would pull the float back out before it hooked the fish and recast. That would save the bait from being used, as well.
