They're so heavy I can almost not carry it!

I had to strip naked to carry it.

Absolutely crazy!

Well... since most crocks, even small can grow to the size of a small suv and have the same power to rip you to shreds like a monster truck.

Makes sense.

An alligator gar is a type of gar; a fish. I didn't think that particular gar is found that far north, however...

First b42 fish I ever caught. You need either a fireplace or double industrial oven to cook the fillets.

Sure, caught a few just today. Those are by far not the only type of fish that you can't carry, where are multiple types i've encountered up to 130 cm long and weights to 50 units. And before you ask, fish heavier than 40 units can't be fried in industiral oven, because it's chamber capacity is 20, and two fliets you craft won't fit in.

Have the organised trait and you can.

You can halve the filets.

What did you do? Did you try to eat it raw with lemongrass?

grab a log off the ground and make a chopping block near your fishing spot. fillet the fish right there and either carry one in each hand or one at a time. you still might need to get stepvan lol

stepvan? :'D

They SHOULD allow you to build a small cart that you can pull by hand! It would solve so many problems.

But I mean... what do you if you catch such a fish without the needed carpentry level/saw?
Do you build a campfire on site?

It would make so much more sense to let players drag big fish with their hands like human/zombie bodies.

wheelbarrow mod...it holds 180kg
No i dont cook them right away just fillet them to get the weight split in half in two pieces.
I never considered going out to fish before at least one episode of woodcraft on day 1

Nope. I have a mod called "Long Term Food Preservation" it allows you to half fliets, so i can devide initial two into 4, and those fit nearly anywhere.

Btw, did you guys noted that where is a list of fish you spotted in the area now. I'm wandering if you can catch big fish everywhere or this depends on location? I fish in Dark Wallow lake.

Just caught a 174cm alligator gar.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3421353375

I have also caught a 190cm paddlefish previously, and their weight seems to be capped at 45, I saw above that actually they can go to 50!?
I'd cut them immediately with a nearby table and prepare them into pans for transport.

I fish exclusively in west point river, big fish do exist here. Not sure about other places. I'm close to completing the list, but seeing how I get some fishes more often than the rest, I suspect that the fishing spot, season, weather etc affect the catch.

you might want to use the oven pans instead. I think they can fit more meat.

How much did yours weight?
