How do I obtain the Rare Legendary Fish?
To obtain the Rare Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must first unlock the Legendary Fish questline. This becomes available after completing the mission ''A Fisher of Fish'' in Chapter 2, where you meet Jeremy Gill, a fisherman who tasks you with catching all 13 Legendary Fish. These fish are scattered across the map, and each requires specific bait, locations, and strategies to catch.\n\nBefore starting, ensure you have the Special Lures, which are essential for catching Legendary Fish. You can purchase these from the bait shop in Lagras, located in the Bayou Nwa region. The Special Lake Lure, Special River Lure, and Special Swamp Lure are required depending on the type of water body you''re fishing in. Without these lures, you cannot catch Legendary Fish.\n\nEach Legendary Fish has a unique spawn location. For example, the Legendary Bluegill can be found in Lake Don Julio, New Austin, while the Legendary Muskie is located in Lake Isabella, Ambarino. Use your in-game map to locate these spots, as they are marked with a fish icon once the questline is active. Travel to these locations and equip the appropriate lure for the water type.\n\nFishing mechanics in RDR2 require patience and precision. Cast your line into the water near the fish''s location, and wait for a bite. When the fish takes the bait, press the appropriate button to hook it. Reeling in Legendary Fish is more challenging than regular fish, as they fight harder and longer. Use the left stick to pull the rod in the opposite direction of the fish''s movement, and reel in by rotating the right stick or pressing the designated button. Avoid reeling too quickly, as this can break the line.\n\nSome Legendary Fish are harder to catch due to environmental challenges. For example, the Legendary Bullhead Catfish in Stillwater Creek requires you to navigate rocky terrain and avoid predators like alligators. Always be prepared with weapons to defend yourself, and consider using Dead Eye to spot the fish more easily in murky waters.\n\nOnce you catch a Legendary Fish, you cannot store it in your satchel. Instead, you must mail it to Jeremy Gill using a post office. Visit any post office, select the ''Send Mail'' option, and choose the fish to send. After sending all 13 Legendary Fish, you will receive a unique reward from Jeremy Gill.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before attempting to catch a Legendary Fish, as this allows you to retry if you fail. Additionally, use Eagle Eye to spot the fish''s glowing silhouette in the water, making it easier to target. Always carry extra lures in case one gets lost, and avoid fishing during storms, as this reduces your chances of success.\n\nIn summary, catching Rare Legendary Fish in RDR2 requires preparation, patience, and skill. Equip the right lures, locate the fish, and master the fishing mechanics to complete this challenging questline and earn unique rewards.
