Bobgoblin Bass has a new challenger. #FFXIV

With window confirmation coming this morning, Datnioides Aeroplanos comes in with a steel chair to Bob's throne, with a predicted record setting 48 day downtime between August 6 and September 23, 2027.

Longest of the "nearby" future!

Today is a momentous day in FFXIV fishing history!

Bobgoblin Bass takes the podium sweep for downtimes, with a 38 day downtime starting now. It knocks Cinder's recent 32 day vacation out of third place.

This is the 2nd longest downtime of any fish in #FFXIV.

And because you will ask:
The longest downtime is Bobgoblin Bass's 39 day downtime between March 7 and April 14 in 2017.
2nd Longest was also Bob. A 37 day downtime last spring.

This November, Bobgoblin Bass will sweep the top 3 spots.

the bobgoblin blitz is old news try the xenoban blitz where you catch every fish in the game before xeno is unbanned

Happy one-year anniversary to THE BOBGOBLIN BLITZ, the video I spent the most time working on in my entire life and probably one of the single things I'm most proud of. Even if you aren't into big fishing I think it's worth a watch (not biased)!

What does "Downtime" mean? you ask.

Well, that means that the fish is unable to be caught through 'natural' means.

Bobgoblin Bass's known conditions are just so, that they can lead to these long stretches on unavailability.

With the Bobgoblin Bass going on yet another extra-long holiday, now is a great time to rewatch "The Bobgoblin Blitz," a video I made last year about my barely-failed quest to hit Final Fish during the last Bobby downtime!

I think I've successfully captured the Essence here. Just need to, uh, get her through a looooot of MSQ so she can be <Big Fish> Bobgoblin Bass

Now I understand why my luck is bad elsewhere in the game. I'm supposed to be a fisher!

Bobgoblin is gonna pray for heat death of the FFXIV universe happening before 2152 so it can cling on to its #1 spot forever
