Author notes
I haven't checked this site in a long while. I see a few people have asked about updating it, and a few people complained about the fish limit.
I do not plan to update or change this mod.
However, I have updated the permissions - anyone is free to fork this project, get it working for the most recent Stardew version, and release their own mod.
I'm not sure if the original source code is of much use anymore since the game code has likely changed a lot in the last 6 years, but you can find all of the source code here https://github.com/kevinforrestconnors/RealisticFishing

Warning: this mod replaces fish items with custom fish items. All of your base fish items will be destroyed if you move them around in the inventory while this mod is installed, so get rid of your fish before installing!
Overhauls fishing with 4 major changes:
Allows throwing back fish into the water
10 fish per day catch limit
Fish are now custom items with a length property (this affects how much they sell for). They can still be used in crafting, and can even be stacked with different lengths.
Adds Iridium quality fish
Persistent fish population - what you catch affects the population!
Fish breed every day
Catch small fish and release big fish to grow your population over time
Catch big fish and release small fish to maximize profits
Multiplayer support has just been added. Check version 1.1.0. Multiplayer only works if all players have the mod installed. Currently, each player has a separate and distinct fish population, though this may be changed in the future.
