Apparently fishing from 500-525 only takes 1 fish for a level up. Can anyone confirm / deny this? If this is true, its worthwhile to return your daily among the ranks of 498-500 because they will give you the biggest advantage.
Assuming that's correct then yes turning the fishing daily in at 498 would give you an advantage, but it does seem very strange so could well have been a bug.
Just did a bit of research and El's Anglin has listed in their bug section
"Fishing skill-ups (may?) occur with every catch between 500 and 525. On average, 450 to 500 requires 9.25 catches per skill-up, so 500+ should require at least this number."
Whether it will be fixed when it goes live or if it's intended to be this way I don't think anyone can confirm/deny at this point other than if you get lucky with an answer on the official forums.
