Mooching is a skill you get at lvl 25 fishing. It allows you to use a fish you just caught as bait to possibly catch an even better fish. Once you attain the skill it appears on your fishing skill bar along with the other fishing skills. If you catch a fish that is eligible for mooching (I think it is usually an HQ fish) the game gives you the option to use the mooch skill in hopes of catching an even better fish using it as bait. If you use mooch on a fish you lose that fish. The up side is many of the most sought after fish can only be caught by mooching. That's why it is an important fishing skill. Then there is also the "double mooch". That is using mooch on a fish you caught by mooching. So to double mooch you first catch a fish eligble for mooching, mooch that fish to catch a better fish and then mooch the second fish you caught to up the ante again. Two mooches is the most that can be done.
