Money Making/Fishing Whales
Fish for 
Raw Whales if using the 
Octopus + 
Pig Summoning synergy, or 
Magic Fish if not. Other fish providing good GP/hour rates are also listed below. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. 
Fishing is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum GP/hour rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.
 This strategy was calculated for v1.0.5 and may have changed in newer updates.

Only the minimum profit is guaranteed when following the requirements of this guide. The maximum profit can only be obtained when following all requirements and recommendations. Profit will increase the more closely the guide is followed. However, the increase in profit may not be in proportion to the amount of recommended items and boosts used.

With the 
Throne of the Herald expansion, higher level fish may yield higher profit than base game fish. 
Raw Static Jellyfish is the first fish with greater GP/h than whales. Alternately, prioritizing fish with higher XP rates will get you to the most profitable high-level fish such as 
Raw Mystic Shark faster. Fish GP/h is listed in the Fishing page.
With the 
Atlas of Discovery expansion, 
The Fisherman's Bounty point of interest in 
Cartography provides several useful buffs to this method.
