It's very easy to catch any fish at any level.

Anyone can catch a fish WAY above their cap. My lvl 12 fishing mule can easily catch bastore breams, but the lvl 12 fishing makes a high chance of losing the line when the fish is caught, or a message saying my skill was too low. Still, the chances are fairly high to get high lvl fish to sell for profit.
Below Cap catch

For those people who caught this fish far below the fishing cap:

How hard was it to reel in?

i think its funny to hear people say, hey i got a black sole at 33, no you cant until 70s, whatever, i use lu shang's rod, catch em since im 11 fishing, aint no big deal, you just need the good bait and good reflexes.

Helps the nerf

This is the fish that will help lessen the blow of the nerf to high lvld fisherman. Since sushi is the new thing (for a good reason) and this is an ingredient, things are looking better then was thought
a better spot

You can also catch this fish in qufim on the south shore. If you use a sinking minnow, it is the only fish that will bite. You can also catch a fair number of them if your skill is at least in the mid-70's .. you just wont catch as many. The best place I have found is on the ledge near the place the kraken spawns. You wont catch monsters there, and the fish bite much more often than in port jeuno.

First of all, no need to use caps lock. I can read your question just fine whether or not you shout.

As to where you can catch it, there are plenty of good resources, such as (my favorite :D) the Clanwind fishing database .

If you don't feel like checking it out though, I'd guess that the best way to catch it is with a Lu Shang and Sinking Minnows in Port Jeuno or Lower Jeuno. It's also possible to use a composite rod without worrying about breaks, but I'd use the Lu if I had it.

You could also use sliced cod as bait, if you don't like lures. The Shrimp Lure also works, but it can also fish up a bunch of other fish in the area.

Your fishing skill has to be in the high 80s before you can start fishing for this though.
