I fished through 200 fiend worms without getting a single !!! bite.

This fish is gated behind a mooch. You can force the mooch with modest lure just fine, but there are 2 other fish that can bite on the mooch and they have WIDE windows.

This is one to do while you're watching something on another screen. There is no way to speed this up, no trick, just patience and perseverance. Expect to spend well over an hour on this one, but thankfully there's no fiddly window involved and you can just dedicate to the task.

What yue stelle said; if you're thinking about catching this fish: don't.

fiend worm -> platinum fish (!) -> mooch / mooch ii -> #666 (!!!)

It took me about 40 mins to catch this fish and in that 40 mins it only bit twice, so prep a lot of cordials and fiend worms

I kept cycling chum, i used mooch II whenever it's up. If it's not up then i use prize catch alongside chum before casting out. You can use your AA stacks for makeshift bait when mooch II is on cd, but i'd recommend using it for thaliak's favor instead.

Platinum fish w/ chum bites at abt 4 - 10ish seconds. I find that i get platinum fish more consistently if i use chum, rather than bullwhip. I guess you can also not use chum and just use surface slap on bullwhip and it should save more GP, but i didn't test that out.

Caught it with the regular hook action (didn't use patience).

Fairly annoying fish to catch. Took about half an hour to see the !!!, but I did catch it on the first try with 90 gear.
