Where you hear it

fishingbobber_ver2_1.ogg is the splash that tells you a fish has bitten. After it plays you have a second or two to click the bobber. The 'ver2' in the name suggests a revised version of an older sound. Fishing addons often amplify this exact cue. It works as an alert to look up.

TriggerPlays when a fish bites and the bobber splashes, the signal to click it.
