Please help me with validator 6. My code returns 1 fish, but correct solution is 2 fishes. What could be wrong ?

It’s very similar to test 6, the stick is in front of 2 fishes, one left one right, the rest is noise.

Thanks, solved. Some ugly garbage destroyed my rod before fish on the opposite side (same line, same distance) was caught :-]

It looks like none of the test cases look for junk/fish drifting off the right side of the screen above the position of the hook. As a result, all test cases passed and only validator 9 failed for me. Finding that failure mode was a pain.
