I've been having this Issue that whenever i go fishing if i cancel my fish because it's a monster or above my skill my game will lock up where i can only open the menus. It gives me the option to logout but it won't do anything. Is there a way around this or do i have to risk fighting monsters and deal?

wait out the monsters. pull up all fish. do not semi-afk-fish. that's the only way around the glitch.
