Description
Male stethacanthus vie for reproductive supremacy amongst their species by focusing internal aetherial energy to engender queer saline growths upon their dorsal fins — the size of which is the sole factor in the females' selection of a suitable mate. The crystals can swell to sizes so large that they oft render the wavekin completely motionless.
Acquisition
- Location: The Lochs (x21, y21)
- Hole Level: 70
- Baits: Mooch
- Mooched from: Rock Saltfish (
Silkworm) - Condition: 4:00pm-5:59pm
- Weather:
Thunderstorms - Must catch 2x
Sculptor first to get 
Fisher's Intuition
Strategy
Prep:
- Arrive before the Sculptor window opens. The goal is to collect 10 stacks of Angler's Art, and x3 Rock Saltfish (!! bite) stored as swimbait using
Spareful Hand. - Make sure that your Collector's Glove is toggled ON.
Catching two Sculptors:
- You want to use
Double Hook on Sculptor to catch both at once. This means after mooching you reel in any !!! bite that appears after 23 seconds (the earliest Sculptor will bite).
- You want to avoid using
Patience II so you can use Double Hook as Sculptor is a rare bite. - You can use a timer macro to count to 23 seconds to get a good idea of when to use Double Hook.
- You want to avoid using
- When the Sculptor window opens, first use your 3 swimbait. After using the swimbait, use
Mooch II (and 
Prize Catch when Mooch II is on cooldown), ONLY reeling in !! bites. When needing to recover GP, you can use 
Makeshift Bait to guarantee all fish can be Mooched for a while. - When you do catch Sculptor, DO NOT INTERACT with the collection pop-up. By instead leaving it open, you can hold your 2 Sculptors until the Stethacanthus window opens. This is the main reasons Collector's Glove must be on.
Catching Stethacanthus:
- When Stethacanthus' window opens, click NO on the collection pop-up window. This will put x2 of the fish in your inventory and activate Fisher's Intuition (5m50s). If you mistakenly select yes, then even if you used Double Hook it will only give you 1 of the fish and not activate fisher's intuition.
- Stethacanthus is also mooched off of Rock Saltfish, so using Mooch II, Prize Catch, Makeshift Bait (if you still have Angler's Art left), and potentially Patience II to guarantee large/moochable fish.
- Stethacanthus can be any !!! bite before 30 seconds after mooching.
