Interesting, I've heard the same rumor, loot dropping fish, still yet to see any loot in them (caught 15 fish yesterday, not alot, but still nothing).
As for size, i caught a .67m fish, seems to be the largest I've caught, it was on Corellia.
Someone to confirm any loot dropping from fish would be cool !

There is a very comprehensive and very good guide from Volsted to be found in the scout-boards:

Volsted's guide mentioned above is AMAZING! A great resource.
I have pulled in about 1,000 fish in the past few months and have never gotten any loot from them. Doesn't mean it cant happen, but I have not seen it.
Largest fish I have caught is 1.02 and smallest is .10.
The best place to fish is a location along a river or pnd where there is a 'finger' of water that juts inland. Find one where no matter where you walk in the water you never start swimming. I have marked waypoints to a few places like this. Following the tips in the fishing guide, and then going to the red bobber, you will catch a TON of fish. Also, get a shellfish harvesting tool, and you can get a bunch of Mollusks and Crustaceans at the same time.
With a good buff, and a macro I wrote to periodically heal myself (action runs down over time) and use the shellfish tool, I can get quite a lot of fishing and harvesting done in a few hours.
Have fun!

The fish don't drop loot.... you have a "chance" of catching loot instead of a fish.... you know like how you might real in some odd item or debris in real life if the area you fish in is polluted.

I hate Fish:
If we ever have another 19 questions type thing, can our next question be when will they replace fish with a more prevalent resource like Krayt Pearls or Force Crystals or Alderanian flora?
You know something easier to get, at least we could got to fort Tusken and kill a few high end MOBS an be able to make a Pet Stim D. I think Dr. Vacca was really trying to make a Pet Stim D when he stumbled accross Dead-eye.
Do other professions have rediculous things like this they need to make things? I would almost rather they made it so that youcould only craft them in theDWB than have to get fish, it would be easier.

When was the last time you saw the 19 answers thread? 
The future of the 19 answers is undetermined. As you may or may not know, TH did these on his own time but his recent promotion means he wont be doing them anymore, whether his replacement does continue with them is purely up to them.

I did not know he did them on his own time. I just remebered that for the last one, we were hard pressed to come up with a question. Tell him I said Hi.

I think that the answer to the fish problem is to create some sort of micro-farm that can catch fish in larger quantities.... or even some advanced fishing kit which increases your catch! a net would seem to be the obvious solution... .come back in an hour and have maybe 50 fish that need to be filleted!!!
As it stands, with the right fishing technique and an average 15 units of fish per catch, I reckon that I could bag 1k fish in an hour.
Not too shabby and nomore boring than many other grinds we have to endure!!! I'll do a test tonight and report back!
I think that the whole resources issue is out of balance with the good quality meats and hides too easy to obtain... this results in Docs buffs being too easy to produce and way too effective.... smugglers spice is all but dead in the water because of the ludicrous docs buffs... maybe the other resources should be made harder to get instead of making fish easier?Just a thought!

Harder yeah good thinking, I always thought they should have schedules for the transport ships too, that way you can only go to cetain planets at a certain 2-3 times a day. That would be cool too.
