VFS vs FS
VFS is a Verified Fishing Session (catches are provable); FS is a Free Session (catches are yours to keep, but unverified). Same fishing, different proof.
VFS vs FS is the core fork in how you fish on the platform. A Free Session (FS) is exactly what fishing has always been: cast, catch, log it if you want, no cost, no proof. A Verified Fishing Session (VFS) runs the same fishing inside a window that makes the catch provable.
Neither is 'better' universally. FS is right for most days on the water. VFS is right when the catch has to count — a tournament, a personal best, a claim you want to stand behind without an argument.
The honest framing: FS keeps fishing free and frictionless; VFS is the opt-in that turns a story into proof.
Common questions
Is a Free Session worse?
No — it's free and unverified by design. Most fishing doesn't need proof; FS keeps that experience open.
Can I decide per catch?
The model is built around choosing when proof matters; you don't have to verify everything.
Does FS cost BAIT?
No. BAIT is only spent on verification. Logging in a Free Session is free.
