Where can I find the Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2?
In Red Dead Redemption 2, Legendary Fish are unique and challenging catches that require specific strategies and locations to find. These fish are part of the Stranger mission ''A Fisher of Fish,'' which is unlocked after completing Chapter 2 and meeting Jeremy Gill at his cabin in the northeast part of Flat Iron Lake. To begin your hunt for Legendary Fish, you must first obtain the Special Lake Lure, Special River Lure, and Special Swamp Lure from Gill. These lures are essential for catching Legendary Fish, as they cannot be caught with regular bait.\n\nThere are 13 Legendary Fish scattered across the map, each located in specific bodies of water. For example, the Legendary Bluegill can be found in Lake Don Julio, while the Legendary Smallmouth Bass resides in Owanjila Lake. To locate these fish, you must first study the map provided by Jeremy Gill, which marks the general areas where each fish can be found. Once you arrive at the location, use Eagle Eye to spot the fish''s distinctive golden ripples in the water, indicating its presence.\n\nCatching Legendary Fish requires patience and skill. Equip the appropriate Special Lure for the type of water you are fishing in (lake, river, or swamp). Cast your line near the golden ripples and wait for the fish to bite. When it does, you will need to carefully reel it in by holding the reel button and using the left stick to control the tension on the line. Avoid reeling too quickly, as this can cause the line to break. Instead, alternate between reeling and letting the fish tire itself out.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the fish escaping or the line breaking. To avoid this, ensure your fishing rod is in good condition and upgrade it if possible. Additionally, use the right stick to gently guide the fish away from obstacles like rocks or weeds, which can cause the line to snap. If the fish swims too far away, stop reeling and let it come closer before resuming.\n\nAfter catching a Legendary Fish, you can either keep it or mail it to Jeremy Gill using the post office. Mailing the fish will reward you with unique items and progress the mission. However, if you choose to keep the fish, you can sell it to a butcher or use it for crafting. Note that Legendary Fish cannot be cooked or eaten, so their primary value lies in completing the mission and earning rewards.\n\nFor players struggling to find specific Legendary Fish, consider using online maps or guides that provide exact coordinates. Some fish, like the Legendary Perch in Lake Isabella, are located in remote areas that require careful navigation. Additionally, ensure you have the right equipment, such as warm clothing for cold regions or a boat for hard-to-reach spots.\n\nIn summary, catching Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2 involves using the correct lures, locating the fish with Eagle Eye, and mastering the reeling mechanics. Be patient, avoid common mistakes like breaking the line, and consider mailing the fish to Jeremy Gill for rewards. With practice and persistence, you can complete this challenging but rewarding mission.
