Here is a quick reference chart from Akirus' Post-Update Fishing Guide. I highly recommend reading the entire guide if you're interested in fishing.

                               /   "Good feeling" "Don't know" "Fairly sure"

                                   "Terrible feeling" "You're positive" "Fairly sure"
                                    100% large fish   99% large fish   50% large fish
 
 
                              ___rod does not swing back and forth rapidly 
                             /   stays in neutral position longer than usual 
 one exclamation mark(!)____/    stamina bar depletes very quickly = item [CATCH] 
                            \ 
                             \___rod moves back and forth as normal 
                                 doesn't stay in neutral position for very long 
                                 stamina bar depletes at the normal rate
                                                             = small fish [CATCH]

NOTE: remember that Arrowwood Logs are the exception to this type of classification since they result in three exclamation marks (!!!) when they catch the hook but behave like all the other items in terms of rod movement and stamina depletion. Also, remember that as your fishing level increases so does the accuracy of your "fishing instinct", and after a certain point the "good feeling" message following three exclamation marks (!!!) will always be a monster, again excluding Arrowwood Logs.

I caught 4 in just over 2-3 hours using fastwater+shrimp lure with 7 people fishing with different combinations of shit. I used like 3 lures total, and i was the only one to catch him. We only killed him 1/4 times do to boat timeout, its pretty shit when you catch him with 30 sec etc eta on boat dock.

Total, i caught him 7 times, every time using shrimp lure+fastwater. But hes a faggot, doesnt drop, despawns etc etc etc

[Celebrindor]

dunno if this would be possible, but would 2-3 RDM/BLMs chainspell-nuking him have a shot at taking him down in time?

I know of several 75BLM/75RDMs or myself (75RDM/66BLM and rising) who would like their JSE feet if for no other reason than to have a nice rare piece of gear....and more +dark magic never hurt. The +emnity on them wouldn't be a huge issue for soloing or draining with full HP.

That sums it up pretty well, but it's not totally accurate in my experience. As he says, the meaning of the fishing instinct message changes with fishing level, but it also varies in different areas (maybe the level of the mob has an effect?).

e.g. At 79 fishing "Fairly sure" in Qufim Island is 100% a mob for me, but in SSG it's 50:50. The mobs in SSG are much higher level than Qufim (w00t pulling up Stygian Pugils when not paying attention).

Also, I've never caught a mob on a "You're positive" message in those two areas.

We did this well over a year ago with about 7 or 8 of us. 4 kills no drop. I don't remember how many trips it took us to catch the 4, but it wasn't too many. Maybe 5 or 6.
