Despite many claims of 40+ day downtimes for Bobgoblin Bass, the longest it has been unavailable for is 39.<\/p>
After seeing increasingly hyperbolic claims or ones that I was more confident were not true about other fish, I examined some of the ones more often complained about.<\/p>
Longest downtimes:<\/strong> With Bobgoblin Bass specifically, the longest period of downtime for each year it\u2019s existed is: Overall, it\u2019s gone down for periods of 20 \u2013 25 days at least 3 times a year on average, except for 2022. To my knowledge this is the longest period of real-world time its taken to discover a fish. Ones that newer players apparently expect to have taken longer are usually [relatively] quick to at least find. The process of narrowing them down takes much longer, naturally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No fish has been down for 40+ days despite claims of such for a few.
