- Gambling, Puffer Fish, IRL FISHING APP WOWOW - 29 September 2026
yoogot some polish, fixes and changes for yall on this fine TuesdayOne of our longterm players decided he wanted to take the challenge of building an IRL Fishing companion app. Since hes one of our goats we figured it would be dope to work with him and help promote his app. What do you get out of it? Well.... Do I have some good news for you my friend....He's giving anyone who owns GONE Fishing three months of that good premium action, meaning you get all the features for free. Me and my brother recently went fishing for red drum and used his app to help predict weather, ideal fishing times, ideal fishing locations, and saving locations where we caught drum. If you do your fair share of IRL fishing I highly recommend. This isn't sponsored or anything; we just trynna help a homie out.Check it ouuuuuuut:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tackleai.app&hl=en_UShttps://apps.ap…

- TIER 6 BAIT, NEW WEIGHT SYSTEM, Yumi conspiracy theory??? - 13 September 2026
yoogot some stuff n things for yall today. We did the first round of open testing last night for the endgame level and boss battle. Wider testing will begin on Monday eveningYumi talks about playing GONE Fishing again.... he once again toys with us... Can we believe him? or will we see him on the game Fishing Grind instead? If I were a man who compromised his principles, I would buff gambling to hook him in, but I am just not that guy (im a liar I will buff gambling tomorrow)Changes / AdditionsReworked weight (again)Based on feedback from many of yall, having to fulfil requirements like beer or day count in order to get a max weight fish is not the direction to move forward in.Because of this, I am taking a new approach.

- THE FISH INFLATION ACT HAS BEEN PASSED - 10 September 2026
yoo, quick patch for yall today... its a bit of a meta busterPASSED THE FISH INFLATION ACT THEY ARE HUGE NOWAs you all know, inflation is soaring once again. In order to help combat this, I am taking executive action to combat fish inflation… Except, well, I'm doing the exact opposite… FISH ARE BIGGER THAN EVER To address the feedback… The reason I decided to make this change is because of what yall said in the post I made asking for your feedback. One of the most common issues noted was that players like they would hit a wall on the fish they catch. You all mentioned that you would get to a point where you're not catching legendaries but yet your fish all seemed to be around the same weight and value. In addition, players mentioned that the game felt like it lacked some progression. There is still much more we have planned for improving progression; however, this is a start.Okay Bigsex…
