The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight to quality ratio. A high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish for example.
You can get better fish in deeper water. This water depth is the same depth that first triggers the "Out to Sea" achievement. Past that point special fishing tiles, usually found with [[Lurker in the deep]] pendulum, begin showing up quite frequently. These Heavier fish are always the same weight, also cause your line to snap more frequently (possible based on line quality and even at low /or skill level). Losing fish to line breaks reduces your catch rate, but generally fishing on a [[Item:White shark|White shark]] or [[Item:Marlin|Marlin]] tile can double your total kg of fish intake per hour easilyin deep water is better than shallow.
Some shore fish can also be caught out in ocean waters, usually at a higher quality than they would be found closer to shore. Typically the lighter fish are much easier to catch at high quality, with q50+ roach and perch being not uncommon even for a beginning fisher. High ql catfish on the other hand will be quite rare at the beginning.
