Fishing in Monster Hunter Wilds is pretty simple: find a body of water, cast your line, wait for a fish to bite, and then reel them in. The closer you cast your line towards a fish (too close will scare them off), the better your chances are at catching them.

So, the better your game looks, the harder it is to catch a meal. And as one fan points out, it feels out of place anyway.
Fishing in the forest near the Wudwud hideout was already hard to track the fish as is, I imagine this would amke it way harder.
