Equip the Scientific Lure before you cast — the bait decides the pool, not where you stand. Selling is done by throwing the catch into a shopkeeper's mouth (hold the interact key), so a full inventory is the usual reason a run stalls.
At $1,500 this is one of the high-value catches — the sort of fish you want to be cooking before selling, because cooking multiplies the sale value.
