I mean, if I wanted to be able to get every fish that a body of water has, I'd use a net. There's a world of difference between a high level of skill meaning that you can catch the toughest fish in existence and a high level of skill meaning that you're so good at using your fishing pole that you can pull any fish out of a lake, one at a time. I can't see it as being anything but a source of frustration for a high level fisher. And I hope the trophy fish are never good for anything other than being a showpiece, since anything else runs into the major flaw of FFXI's crafting system: only the rare result has any value.
