Is Silver Quality Legend Possible?

Hi everyone, after advice last time from nice forum members about Normal-Quality Legend, I am again looking to see if another fish related objective is possible
I am currently trying to see if Legend is possible in Silver quality, and I have these questions:
  1. Is Legend proven to be impossible in Silver Quality? If not, what are some ways to get it?
  2. Is Fishing Zone as a concept a continuous or discrete value? Is there a difference between reaching a low-frame Fishing Zone square vs. a farther-targeted Fishing Zone square on the same square?
  3. How variable is the randomness in fish quality determination? Can it allow a variance between silver and gold under the same condition?
  4. I tried a bubbling spot at the red square below, which is on Fishing Zone 3, with a farmer whose Fishing Level is at 6, boosted to 10 with food buffs. The Legend fished up there was ultimately Gold Quality. That was the minimum condition as provided by Wiki on how to trigger the Legend (Fishing Zone 3 with Bubbles, LV10), with Fishing Zone 3 less than Fishing Zone 5 when determining qualities. Admittedly, I fished it up at the exact middle of the square, so I have not tried fishing more towards land yet.

Besides Legend Silver Quality, every other fish I found is theoretically be possible (have not tried Crimsonfish, but Fishing Zone 2, Level 5 feels much more feasible for a silver fish)

Any help is appreciated :) This is the last major hurdle for me before a theoretical catch every fish in every quality can be completed

Beach Farm :) But yes, on a different player account in the save! Exactly for the reason you mentioned.

That's why I only have the completed set for the winter fish D: could not get all four different profiles' fishing level up in time. Year 2 rolls around though with everyone ready now, and I should be able to get them all this year!

I have caught over 25 legend in zone 3 bubbles with level 10 or 11 fishing and haven’t gotten one silver legend. I have video evidence of over 15 of the attempts. How is it possible that you got it in 4 catches and I have caught 25/25 gold star legends. I am on the Nintendo switch is it impossible to get silver quality for the legend on the Nintendo switch?

to get a better quality you must use the trap bobber and the quality bobber once you get the advance iridum rod, i personally dont care if its silver or gold or iridium as long as i get enough for 3 days of legend 2 and smoke them all i could care less, the goal is to catch em and i usually use wild bait and grab 2 of em, and i stack em for 3 days then smoke em all, try the legend with a cork bobber, iridum advance rod, sonar bobber, oh and i use auto hook and im pretty good at fishing with it, so you can get 2 legends with the wild bait if you play your cards right, hope that helps you out.

It shouldn't be different, you're simply unlucky. Try changing up spots to ensure you're in the right zone

Sorry for the super late reply, as FilthyGorilla said it's a bit unlucky. I just recently started all over again on the Switch, and it took me 30ish to get a Silver-graded The Legend this time around!
This has always been a favorite hobby of my every save now because it is the most difficult fish to get nowadays.

Assuming you are in fact in Zone 3 Bubbles (color coded map here: Fishing Strategy - Stardew Valley Wiki ), it would just be luck. 7% of people won't catch one in 25 attempts, 35% of people will catch one in 4. X% of people will catch one within N attempts where X = 1-.9^N. Having caught 25 gold star ones, it's more likely than not (60% of the time or thereabouts) that you will not catch a silver one in your next 5, given that the odds are totally independent. 25% of the time, you'll catch one in your next 3. But there's nothing that precludes you from being the 1 in 10,000 that doesn't catch one even after 87 attempts. At no point will it be likely the next one or even the next 5 are what you seek.

The reason I point this out is that psychologically, you do yourself a disservice by comparing results from luck and RNG, and "expecting" a certain amount of attempts to achieve success. You should go into every attempt assuming it won't be what you want as 90% of the time you'll be correct that way, and allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised when you get what you're going for, however many attempts in the future that may be.
