No green arrows (bonus exp for light gear)

There are no green arrows in the game. I have tried it out, with a gear for fishes with less than 2kg. I "landed" with luck a ~10kg fish and there was no green arrow. I got just the normal exp. Other people answered in a other thread the same thing. They tride it out with very light gear and got no green arrow or bonus exp.

It is the force of the fish and the fish's fight rating. If they used weight as logic all Trophy flatheads, Blues, Musky, GatorGar, ect. would be green all the time with any float gear as float gear maxes out at 40ish lbs (Brutus short rod). Likewise, any gear over 4lbs would be red for largemouth. You find me a bass fisherman that uses 4lb tess with jigs and I will show you a golden turd.

Your 10kg fish was probably a catfish or carp, these are the weakest fighting fish in the game lb for lb.
