Does the group fishing bonus apply to a single player?

Everyone knows about the group fishing bonus, which increases the odds to fishing trophy fishes:
one person: 5%
two people: 10%
three people: 15%
and four people: 25%
Knowing that what triggers the bonus to be applied is the number of fishing rods on the fishing hole at the same time, what i want to know is if that 5% for one person applies to solo fishing or if it is applied for having another player fishing with you (so beeing 2 players)
I have never read anyone clarifying this, and i think it is important because if it is applied for a single player, that would mean the cap is four players and that the base odds for fishing a trophy would be 5%. If it is applied for fishing WITH another player, then the bonus cap would be five players and we don't know the odds for fishing trophies without bonuses.

✭✭✭✭✭No clue. I've never fished "grouped" - it's a totally solo experience for me. 4 master fishers, working on 5 and 6 (third account both pc megaservers) now.
I don't know anything about percentage and odds. I just move my CP into the fishing stuff, and use the fancy fish food, and chill.______________________________________________________

ZOS_PhoenixadminGreetings,
After review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic (Players Helping Players, as OP is requesting clarification from other players regarding a mechanic).
Thank you for your understanding.

✭✭✭✭✭ive fished grouped and it didnt feel like it changed anything in terms of getting more rare fish, it just made the fishing hole run out faster (so less chances to even get a rare fish)
i dont know exactly how much other things increase chance of rare fish that work outside of a group (the cp passive, sharp-as-nights companion passive, the fishing food)plays PC/NA

i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
feel free to stop by and use the facilities0 -

✭The 5% figure is the base chance to get a rare fish. Otherwise, a solo fisher would have no way to catch one. Those who fish for Prefect Roe might like that, of course.0
