Been fishing for a bit since the new update, and here are some interesting things I found
Learned that you can catch Alpha Pals via fishing. Just need to watch out for sparkly silhouettes in the water!
Also liking that there's a different pose for your character for each Pal caught by fishing rod. This Kelpsea looks like it's exhausted from its little battle against me.
If you fish on top of a Pal, they'll appear in the shot too, as exemplified by me on my Xenolord just hovering above the water while reeling in this normal-sized Pengullet.
