In your kit you have a plethora of fishing line, hooks, fishing weights, and a hemp and steel fishing stringer. You also have your trusty fishing rod. A common rod used by many adventures for its is ease to travel with. It can compact down to a 1 ft long road for easy storage. This rod can be stored in the kit. In a new tackle box you would have 5 fresh water tackles, 5 large fish tackles, and 5 unique fish tackles.
To catch a small or medium fish without using tackle in any body of water that has fish in it is a DC16 check with fish prof.
Using fresh water tackle reduces the DC to 10 and allows the capture of large fish if the skill check exceeds a DC of 20. Fresh water tackle can only be used in fresh water.
Big fish tackle allows for the capture of big fish in any body of water containing fish. Big fish tackle sets the DC to 17 to capture a large fish. Large fish tackle can only catch large fish.
Unique tackle will allow you to catch anything that is not a fish from any body of water. Unless you know what you're trying to catch and how best to use this tackle for the capture you will not know the DC. If you do have this information and properly prepare yourself you will know the DC. The DC for unique fish scales depending on the target.
With fishing Kit Prof you can cook fish over an open fire without cooking supplies. When you cook a medium or smaller size fish over an open fire you can make the cooking check at advantage and do not need cooking supplies. The DC for a cooked medium fish is 14 and a small fish is 12.
To cook a large fish in the wilderness you will need to construct a rudimentary cooking station with a spit. Carpenters, wood working, and cooking supply prof and tools allow this to happen for free. Without tool profs it will require a survival check with a DC based on the difficulty it is to forge for medium sized branches, or other workable material, and a sleight of hand or INT (with prof bonus if INT is spellcasting mod) check DC 12 to construct the cooking station.
A small fish feeds 1 medium creature, a medium fish feeds 2 medium creature, and a large fish can feed 4 medium creature.
