They do exist, and you'll notice that seasons define your bite rate much more as you fish more challenging fish at level 100.
With that said, the pre50 stuff doesn't really change a whole lot but what you described is completely normal.

IDK about what you catching but something is up w/ fishing recently.
today i went back to working on lu shangs rod cause i had nothing better to do. would turn in fish in and get more credit that what i turned in. when i started back up today couldnt remember how many i had so i checked and it was 6500 some. thought wow i turned that many in cool beans.frist time i turned in just over 4 stacks of moat carp and was like now i have 6895!!! hmmm most of read the number wrong cool. Fish awhile longer i got 47more so i run over and turn these in.
7315!!!!! WHAT these numbers are not adding up nor are they makeing any ryme or reason. Friend had some chillin in there mog house to make bait w/ and handed them to me. i turn them in (38) 7410 now huh? OK so i go fish some more only cought 2 so i am like on what is going on here. I trade them 1 at a time frist fish gave me credit for 2 next one gave me credit for 1. BUT i am not ganna complain i went from 6500 some to 7410 in one day of fishing.
lol <3 are you sure your talking to the right NPC? You don't talk to the two up front they always say weird *** numbers. Talk to the lady behind them to get your real fish count.
