Im assuming that the right click action has no use after hooking a fish.
I suggest that it do more during the fighting process. I understand the mechanic for letting the fish have line, but with many fish that have large soft mouths when allowed too much line, the hook will displace. Hopefully, there can be a "Set-Hook" stat, where if we allow too much line, the "hook-setting" will need to be reset by rick clicking and holding it taunt for a while. The sleeker fish seem to have thicker mouths and often times swallow the hook, so maybe they would have the Strongest Set Hook Variable.
