Other than the achievements, what is the value of fishing?

The fish caught are tagged as trophies. Is their only value after catching simply to sell to vendors or are there other uses?

    I haven't seen any so far.

    Honestly, fishing is another lever the developers seem to be using to control your playstyle by taking up yet more inventory space (because limiting your inventory space is by design to "encourage" you to play in a certain way). So, I just skip fishing and bait now like I do crafting. Smoother experience for me that way.

    I have heard (! - but never seen it myself) that some fish can be used in crafting food.

    People have gotten veteran weapons ( this was a bug, and you probably get weapons near your level now ) You can fish up a bag, that can contain special items I believe.

    Is that "used bait" one can fish supposed to be reusable as bait again? The description at least says so but I can't use these in the wheel. Anyone knows?

    Haven't found any benefit from it for myself.

    Most i've fished up is a slaughterfish worth 3 gold ... be still my beating heart, the excitement.

    No the "used bait" can not be used again. The only point of fish does indeed seem to be vendor trash as I have not seen a single recipe call for fish in the recipe nor do any of the fish say that they are provisioning materials. You can catch rare fish which count towards the achvs as well as bags with crafting materials.

    I quit fishing after find my catch had no usage. Perhaps the devs will fix that however hopefully they will fix many other issues first.

    Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Good question about the used bait. It is tagged as a lure instead of bait, but I wasn't sure if it had any value. I was looking at destroying that too, as it has no coin value.

    I once caught a rare (blue) that was worth 150 'something' ..the tool tip went by so fast I couldn't tell what it was. The trophy was never added to my inventory so I couldn't check it either.
