Misleading or incorrect text for Modest Lure & Ambitious Lure

Hello! The new FSH skills "Modest Lure" and "Ambitious Lure" are extremely useful, but also fairly complex. I've observed many players being confused by some specific English text related to these abilities, and I think a few simple fixes would go a long way!

There are two main areas of confusion:
  1. "Next cast": The message "You have a feeling your next cast will land a <small/large>-sized fish!" actually affects your current cast, not the next cast.
  2. "Large-sized fish:" Ambitious Lure uses this in a few places to mean "fish with a strong or ferocious bite", not what other skills refer to as large-sized fish.

"Next cast"

Problem: This issue is fairly straightforward. Modest Lure and Ambitious Lure are special in that they're used after the Cast action but before one of the Hook actions. When used, they have a chance to trigger the message described above; if triggered, this effect guarantees that the active cast, during which you just used the Lure, will result in a fish with the relevant bite strength. The current message suggests that your next actual Cast action will be changed and implies that the current/active cast is unaffected.

Suggested solutions: Reword the message to make it clear that it has affected your current cast:

"You have a feeling your next bite will land a [...]"
"You have a feeling that you've attracted a [...] fish!"
"A [...] fish has noticed your efforts!"
"You see a [...] fish approach your hook!"
(where [...] refers to the type of fish being Lured)
