Project Zomboid FISHING Guide | Catch the biggest FISH! | Build 41

[@LordGingerBerry]

Was recently fishing at that pond on the north side of Muldraugh, first fish I caught was a big pike that weighed 14,5 . I did not notice and kept on fishing until my health was at 60% due to the weight of the fish crushing my ancles

[@Definietlynotarobot]

damn big fishe

[@andrehashimoto8056]

This is how you died: broke your back and knees by having fished too big a fish for you to carry

[@akiamini4006]

Yea bro ! I also caught the pike which was waping 35Kgs! I think that mofo had 13.5Kg fillets 😂😂 Nice times ! Crashed my car to a tree and fractured my shin ... lasted too long so i abandoned lvl 5 fishing dude just like dat

[@LordGingerBerry]

@@akiamini4006 seems kinda unlikely unless the game got an update allowing larger fish, as far as I know pike max length is 120cm and its weight modifier is 8 at that size, resulting in a max weight of 15 Kgs.

[@akiamini4006]

@@LordGingerBerry yea bro thanks for tellin ! Honestly i dont remember clearly much longer but all that i know that without much else loot on me except fishing rod and mil cloths and maybe a couple kilos on extra with strengh lvl 9 with that fish i got extremely heavy mod on me

You sir DESERVE more likes and followers. Thank you!

[@TheUndulyNoted]

This is 10/10 content. Concise and informative, all anyone could hope for.

[@JohnnyBravo-tn6kc]

Years later, you still have some of the most concise PZ skill guides on KZbin. Thanks bro!

[@Billy-zp2mv]

Thank you for your guides and tipps they are very helpful! Keep up with the good work!

[@cksoup]

hello zed survivor! your videos have helped me a ton with zomboid- i’ve got a character who’s survived for about 2 months now (the longest i’ve ever gone lol) and i’m relatively well established but when I try to drive out of my somewhat safe hometown to loot the faraway gun stores, the zombie hordes have gotten crazy big and i have to retreat. could you make a looting guide for early/late game players? thanks!

[@themonkeyhand]

You cleared your area while everywhere else was achieving the peak zombie levels at day 28.

[@oey3765]

Use molotov

[@Nonahept]

Great content. Learned something today. Thanks!

[@clem-hk2di]

fishing nets can break if you leave them in water for >15 hours also you can craft them with wire and twine if you know the recipe

[@jacobmills7289]

Thanks for the tip about the filets rotting faster. I was about to mass store my fish that way thanks!

[@nerfherder4284]

Great videos, but gotta say fishing is best with a spear. It rarely breaks and I have caught huge pike (usually between 9-10) and just requires a spear. Either way, it's a good idea is to build a small walled area right next to the lake/river so no zoms can sneak up. Can be as simple as 3 walls, but I like to make a small cabin with a door right next to the water where I can leave my spears and such.

[@Puschit1]

Spearfishing will add exercise fatigue to your arms and I think torso, so there's that. But yes, if you main weapon is spear so you craft them a lot anyway, then it's a logical step to just not bother with extra equipment and bait.

[@MRcrysis12351]

What I find mildly annoying is that you cannot learn recipes (for example, the "learn how to fix a fishing rod") from the Life and Living TV show even though it specifically "shows" you how to do it.

[@andrehashimoto8056]

i guess it's for balance, if that recipe (and others that would probably be shown in other shows) became easily available if you just spent the first week in safety of the starting base and watching the shows.... it would become one less thing regarding late game

[@In.New.York.I.Milly.Rock.]

Worms also appear in composting. Worth mentioning

[@themonkeyhand]

adding worms to compost should speed up the process... that could be a mod.

[@Anthony-kc4jo]

So cute little fishies. And they are going to add a lot of new fishes in build 42. Plus the way you fish will change now and there will be a mini game playing, kind of like in stardew valley. That's also such a good game.

[@jackcoder3845]

Worms can be generated by composting rotten food in a composter, so they can be produced fairly steadily without much continuous work. Composters require level 2 carpentry which itself can be a pain but I frequently find myself with carpentry skills for other items such as the rain collector barrel anyways. The composter can only produce worms as it composts food, that is, once it's full it'll stop producing worms. Some agricultural warehouses exist that are full of sacks of fresh fruit and vegetables that will certainly be rotten by the time you get to them, they're absolutely ideal for filling your composters!

[@Letham316]

Alternatively, get a gardening / digging tool and dig a bunch of furrows. You'll dig up some worms in the process. Or better yet, dig with your hands and get some First Aid exp from bandaging up the scratches. 👍

[@Puschit1]

Yeah, digging them up is much faster. And carpentry level 2 isn't difficult at all, you should get that just by watching Live and Living. And if that isn't enough because you picked slow learner or something like that just disassemble a big bed or 2 and you are set.

[@zelzil]

that's awesome work, carry on!

[@jdubya181]

I love that pike only go for worms or bait fish, when in real life they are dumb as hell and angry and will bite anything, including smaller pike.

[@-EEE-]

I lost my first decent character an hour ago fishing I ate all the fish I cooked at once because I didn’t want it to spoil My character went to sleep and started feeling queasy then his health dropped rapidly My character got up with like 5 seconds to live not knowing what was going on then he died Don’t eat too much fish guys :(

[@ac1005]

Thanks for the guide

[@guilhermebreder6474]

nice tip

[@SkillIncarnate]

You can actually keep your weight up by pure farming but you need a huge amount of food and a high cooking skill to make nutritious soups and stews

[@andrehashimoto8056]

still, you need some form of meat.... so unless item respawning is part of your custom sandbox, fishing and hunting will still be a necessity.... unless they decide to add the Option to "harvest" corpse meat if it's still fresh enough and require LENGTHY processing to make it safe (that's until they decide cannibalism needs to have more drawbacks to make players take it only as last resort, such as eating human meat for too long or too much of it will start causing a perma moodlet that affects your fine motor skills, leading to worse accuracy, addiction to human meat and lower your ability to craft, didsassemble and other things that need fine motor skills)

[@SkillIncarnate]

@@andrehashimoto8056 At this point if you grind cooking and farming you can reach the stage where you dont need meat at all. That being said you need to consume huge amounts of vegetables to do this and a tiny bit of meat through foraging, fishing or trapping does the job way way easier

[@ScottMansfield]

Nice guide. One correction though. Winter now is December until the end of February.

[@loathsome00]

Good content I needed this

[@nonlose]

Thanks for the useful info. My team is surviving perfectly. :D

[@morten6789]

I am just here for the tip of the video

[@loathsome00]

that's the best part

[@OldSnake1883]

Very useful tips! Thanks

[@zbik3449]

great vid as always

[@tatepishepard]

Thank you.

[@mabalupe]

Nice and helpful video. I subscribed!

[@DrLisandro]

I think since the new update raw fish is now dangerous if uncooked!

[@Flesson19]

how do you cut up the fish into fillet, ive tried holding about every knife in the game and dont get the option, does it have to be a hunting knife ?

[@witchking008]

Kitchen knife will sufice Just right-click u should see cut into fillet

[@loudradialem5233]

Chances are higher during dawn and twilight.

[@paulwei6596]

Nice video.

[@helltrooper6336]

Thanks man

[@daniilmoscow3114]

Great video! Tell me, please, how quickly the abundance of fish is restored in those places where it has already been caught to 0?

[@bobjohnson1096]

What lasts longer freezing or canning food? I found two boxes of jars. :P

[@nerfherder4284]

I think technically freezing is longer, but needs electricity. Canning requires other ingredients that can be hard to find, i.e. sugar and vinegar. There is a good mod for jarring fish and/or jarring w/o lids and sugar/vinegar.

[@paulwei6596]

According to wiki, Jarred food is fresh for 60 days and stale for another 30 days. But canning is only available for farming products, and jar lids are hard to get.

[@bobjohnson1096]

@Aluzky Never tried that it could work.

[@akiamini4006]

Nice

[@valentinn3080]

loev this channel

[@jacobiehartie4602]

On my playthrough rn, I been fishing with maggots I find on bodies. (Dunno if it’s an update or mod tho)

[@sandhalp]

4:07 why do i get this rec video after I finish my fishing for winter. In my current run, i legit fillet all my fish before entering winter, entire ice freezer of fish fillet hope they don't turn bad before February.

[@whisper6534]

Up!

[@KenshiNCoffee]

can maggots be used as bait?

[@trumplostlol3007]

How do you actually "catch" a fish? The fish just automatically gets caught? Do you need to do anything like in Stardew Valley to actually "catch" a fish?

[@spudz2186]

its automatic dont worry

[@someweirdguyhehe2246]

i got a Fish so big that it couldnt fit the Oven ): and i couldnt cut it

[@gretttt33323]

When i fish socks they are never wet :)

[@yakisiklibebek280]

Is there a lake or sea near rosewood? I need only lake or sea and i will live forever in game. I founded gas station,have strong big big size base in rosewood (nears church)

[@mags247]

Riverside has a lake, obviously. Also there are 2 gas stations, a warehouse and a hardware store where you can find fishing equipment.

[@VagineerHuur]

Near rosewood? No. Go up and visit the golf course under riverside, there's some water there.

[@VT-tz5bm]

Is there any way to store food over the winter without power?

[@att7364]

Pickle it

[@eivorthewolfkissed4894]

Canned food

[@eivorthewolfkissed4894]

Canned and jar food

[@tarryncooper4742]

is this valid as of b41.65?

[@JoseMolina-ij3xx]

It's a shame that you can't just use vinegar to make sashimi. lol

[@andrehashimoto8056]

One weird thing about "protein" intake.... reportedly.... INSECTS HAVE THE HIGHEST Protein value in regards to their weight.... so a didet with insects in it should been covering the necessary protein intake..... sure, it's obvious balance is at play, and it still feel valid and "realistic" (since VERY few cultures have insects as part of their culinary and diet, and almost 100% of them are due to... CONSTANT PERIODS OF MASSIVE STARVATION of the population to the point Stalingrad during WW2 would be considered a nice fairy tale by those cultures if the starvation periods were recent enough)

[@raahbernard]

To make a fishing rod I need to read a book?

[@Mr_LH1980]

You can drown surprisingly easily in zomboid so be careful next to the coast.

[@probablyb2]

What? You can't drown in vanilla Zomboid.
