I can dispute this!
Gaser...Even so, not ALL fish would be dead. Im sure some survived, and at least six could have feasibly made it while all being near Ash Island. Not very LIKELY, but then again, since when does that have to do with anything.
Nisorin, I have actually SEEN someone do it. They put the bait on the line itself, which the fishes got, not just on the bottom part. True, they only caught sardines, but sardines ARE fish.
