Fishing Importance & Changes From Beta

So in beta I remember catching things other than fish or bait. I caught sacks that contained Enchanting gems as a well a log with a sword stuck in it. I also caught things hat were used in cooking recipes. But now it looks like all these things were removed.

I think that fishing should atleast give the chance of items that can be used for provisioning so it has more importance to it and rewards. I know that fishing is just something else to do in the break but when ever you have the chance to get things like they had in beta it adds another level of fun. I also think this would add to the excitement of finding a fishing spot and clearing it. As of right now they are very abundant and passed by with no importance by 99% of people.

Another idea would be to let you level up your fishing (does not need a skill line) so the higher your skill, the better chance of rare fish and getting items as well as actually being able to fish at certain fishing holes with a level requirment

    Wow, I love the thought of catching stuff other than fish! What an awesome idea and what a shame they took it out.

    Fishing seems to be a bit bugged at the moment though. Green fish (when eventually caught) don't actually appear in your bag, which is annoying.

    I found a wet sack, although i cannot remember what was in it. I guess they just made it very rare to find stuff other than fish.

    Maybe you need to use the right bait in the right spot for things other than fish.
    I have only tried fishing once, but there are a lot of different baits and environments to fish in.
    Are there many different types of fish?

    I've caught 5 different types of fish, and only 1 green (once, and it disappeared). I have 6 types of bait (I think) and tried many different spots and I've never caught anything other than fish.

    They could be useful as apparently there is a quest at some point that asks you to sacrifice a trophy, so you could use a fish for that.

    The very first time I tried fishing in early release I got a wet sack with a gem, a recipe, and something else I can't remember right now. Since then I have tried many different spots with the different baits, and have only gotten a green fish once; all the rest end up as white fish, used bait, or another type of bait.
