       the greater serpent of ronka has, effectively, a 0.97% catch rate (a 24.4% chance into a 41.5% chance into a 12.1% chance into a 79.5% chance)which sounds like "just cast 100 times and you get it"but you actually only have a 62% chance of catching itso you need 235 casts for a 90% chance470 casts for a 99% chance705 casts for a 99.9% chanceand 940 casts for a 99.99% chanceand even then, it is still possible to need more than 940 casts to catch this stupid fish

       even more fun: there are people who do "no GP" challenges. patience, prize catch, and mooch II all require GP. so you have no way of guaranteeing that your fish will be moochableand without these skills, you have about a 20% chance of catching a large sized, moochable fishso now it's a 24.4% chance into a 20% chance into a 41.5% chance into a 20% chance into a 12.1% chance into a 20% chance into a 79.5% chanceso someone doing a challenge like this has a 0.0078% chance of catching the greater serpent every time they cast out
