Post your Day 2 Fishing Catch on a fresh run here

Greetings! Since a bunch of us like to talk about where we like fishing on day 2, I thought it'd be fun to post pics of what we bring home after our first day of fishing on Day 2 of a fresh run. So, if you want, post what you take home on Day 2 here. In mine here, it was one of my better days, minus the daffodils of course. The bubbles started around 8:30am, and didn't fade away until 7:10pm :)

That's a seriously impressive haul, I didn't even know you could get Iridium Fish on your first outing.

It would be interesting to compare your Mountain Lake Fishing to River and Ocean locations. Based on old knowledge from the forum here, I recall the Mountain Lake is supposed to be best for g.

One thing: Do you remember what your daily Luck was on this Spring 2?

Yes, but I only know it was a good luck day because that first 4 days were either good or excellent, but then on Day 5 when the mine is first available, I got a bad luck streak of 5 days in a row. On the plus side, though, Day 5 was rainy and the catfish were biting. I was in town that day, right at the very edge of the zone line to Cindersap Forest. I've taken a liking to fishing there on rainy days now because small mouth bass have exactly the same value as chub, and are way easier to catch perfectly, especially on day 3 if you're good enough.

Edit: Oh, and to answer your question about the iridium quality ones, it's possible to do on day 2 if you fish from the southern most tile right next to the fence, in the same area Sebastian likes to smoke. It's just rare because you're much more likely to catch silver quality fish there at max distance by default, and sometimes you can get either a gold quality or no quality fish the other times. So, in order to get the iridium quality ones, you first have to catch them perfectly, and then they have to be one of those rarer gold quality fish in order for it to be upgraded to iridium quality from the perfect catch.

Ummm, you're supposed to crash out at 2am, not sack it off five and a half hours early and saunter home with the job only half done

Seriously though, nice haul. Definitely going to do this and post results later

Didn't get to start over until today despite wanting to earlier; but yeah, here's today's d2 haul (effectively 5:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.; despite starting at 10:00 a.m.).

I barely managed to scrape together enough money for the Fiberglass Rod and 42 bait by 5:00 p.m. (no artifact; worst luck both days; few forage items (11 spring onions though) ).
Shoutout to the almost 2 hours of bubbles shortly after I had started (without them this might've been impossible);
and a 'Screw you, too!' to the 20 minute bubbles above the bench (it's where the two normal quality fish are from).

Not shown: My first haul I had to sell (7 Herring, 7 Anchovy, 5 Sardines) as well as the things I devoured (1 Herring, 4 Anchovies, tons of Seaweed).

You guys are not ready for this, I have recently had the luckiest save in my years of stardew.
Day 2 was ok but days 3/4/5 were insane, I will let you just look in awe.

These are just some of my catches too,the more significant things I ended up getting were:
2 diamonds
A strange doll (sells for 1000g)
TWO neptunes glaive
An iridium band (in the same chest as one of the glaives)
Three ancient seeds (mines day one)
And so much more.

This was so lucky I'm thinking the only thing I should be doing is turning this into a year 2 perfection run.
Idk if I will be able to do it as I have never really tried much but I think it's worth a shot and it's so much fun anyway.

I just started a new save, with the intention of sharing my catch here, but, well... I forgot to take a screenshot :sweat:

Oh wells... I still managed to document my lucky Treasure Chest loot, though:

From my Progress Thread!
Not quite as lucky as you, @FilthyGorilla (that's absolutely crazy), but combined with the money from actually fishing, it was enough for me to afford the Fiberglass Rod on Day 3, the Large Backpack on Day 4, and 45 Kale Seeds (worth 3,150G) to plant on Day 6 + a Copper Pickaxe on the same day. Most of this (including the Treasure Chest) came on Day 4, though.

Yeah, I abused some clay farming and a strat i created for day one and bought the large backpack and rod on day 2 and pick on day 5 and instead of kale I went with 65 potatoes on day 6 for some cash though i haven't yet sold them.
Also trying for the legend on day 14 for money too.
