📋 About This Mod
Skewering live invertebrates on barbed hooks in order to trick unsuspecting marine life into snagging their jowls on said hooks and being forcibly ripped from their natural habitat in a macabre game of tug-of-war is barbaric, primitive, and downright cruel.
Also, it has been scientifically proven that there is a better way. I'd explain the process myself, but I could never do as good a job as this video documentary:

That's what this mod does, literally.
To perform the above proven method of fish acquisition, simply hold a fishing rod in your hand (necessary to deterimine bait type) look at a body of water, and press the hotkey (default H).
Finally a non-violent, scientifically-proven means of acquiring fish in Raft! You're welcome :)
Now with weeeeeeee sound and actual fish flying!
You can turn off the sounds or switch to a female version in the config.
The female voice was recorded on commission by the talented VA Erin Kress. Go check her out!
Since higher tier fish have no in-game model, they are displayed as a generic fish (default mackerel).
