• This is a large fish, and will give the message "Something caught the hook!!!" accompanied by the monster fish music; therefore it is possible to fish up a monster instead, though I personally did not fish up one single monster using a *Single Hook Fishing Rod and *Sinking Minnow lure in *Talacca Cove with skill 10.
• Lu Shang's Fishing Rod + Shell Bug fished this up with no monsters caught in 10 casts at level 86 fishing skill.
