Different Fish Icons on the Gauge?
I've started to notice that there are some different fish icons that pop up on the fishing gauge after you get a hit. The fish with the green eye is typically easier to catch, but the fish icon with the red at the top of it jumps all over the place and is nearly impossible to catch.
Anyone know what this is about, and what's on the end of that line that's impossible to reel in?

Those would be one of the five Legendary Fish. You're gonna want to have high Fishing skill, some food that boosts fishing and something like a Trap Bobber lure for those ones. I suppose you could catch it without all that though, but you'd have to be very good at fishing.

Uugh, thank you! That was really bothering me, not knowing.

Angler doesn't count. It's easier than some of the normal fish. I'm looking at you, Octopus!! >:(

My first legendary was actually the crimsonfish at level 7. Angler was second after I had hit level 10. And yeah, I had felt that angler, mutant carp, and glacierfish were all considerably easier than crimsonfish was. The Legend itself was the only one that felt like it really put up a fight like the crimsonfish did, first and only time I felt the need to use a dish o' the sea to buff my fishing skill up to 13.

Glacier is actually slightly harder than Crimson - but the difference is too small to notice, and since they are unique per playthrough, a lucky fluke can make it seem the other way around... I miraculously caught the first two legends I ran into with only a Trap Bobber - but couldn't catch the next six or so despite having chowed a dish of the sea specifically for them :(

Also the fact I had maxed my fishing skill long before the glacier fish was available, while I caught the crimsonfish with nothing but seven skill levels, a trap bobber, and DETERMINATION, as well as having much more practice at the fishing mini-game by that point. I had figured that was the main reason all the other legendary fish, save for the Legend itself, felt far easier, each of them only took me one try. Legend took three, the first attempt prompting me to head home and grab one of the dish o' the seas I had in storage from the fishing bundles.
