How do I complete the "Fisher of Fish" side quest in Red Dead Redemption 2?
The ''Fisher of Fish'' side quest in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a multi-part fishing challenge that requires you to catch specific legendary fish across the game world. To start the quest, you must first encounter Jeremy Gill, a fisherman who resides at his cabin on the northeastern shore of Flat Iron Lake, near the town of Rhodes. Jeremy will task you with catching 13 legendary fish, each located in unique spots across the map. This quest becomes available after completing Chapter 2 and unlocking the fishing rod during the ''A Fisher of Men'' mission with Jack Marston.\n\nTo begin, ensure you have the necessary equipment: a fishing rod, special lures, and bait. Jeremy will provide you with a special lake lure, but you will need to purchase river and swamp lures from bait shops or the Lagras bait shop in the Bayou. Each legendary fish requires a specific lure type: lake lures for lakes, river lures for rivers, and swamp lures for swampy areas. Without the correct lure, you cannot catch the legendary fish.\n\nThe first step is to locate the legendary fish. Each fish has a specific spawn point, marked on your map with a fish icon after you receive the quest. For example, the Legendary Bluegill can be found in Lake Owanjila, west of Strawberry, while the Legendary Smallmouth Bass is located in O''Creagh''s Run, northeast of Annesburg. Use your map to plan your route and visit each location systematically.\n\nWhen you arrive at a fishing spot, equip the appropriate lure and cast your line into the water. Legendary fish are larger and more aggressive than regular fish, so be prepared for a challenging fight. Use the reeling mechanic by holding the right trigger to reel in the fish while simultaneously moving the left stick downward to keep tension on the line. Avoid reeling too quickly, as this can cause the line to snap. Patience and timing are key to successfully catching these fish.\n\nOne common challenge is dealing with the fish''s erratic movements. If the fish starts thrashing, stop reeling and let it tire itself out. Once it calms down, resume reeling. Additionally, pay attention to your surroundings. Some fishing spots are near predators or hostile NPCs, so keep your weapons ready to defend yourself if necessary. For example, the Legendary Muskie in Lake Isabella is near a grizzly bear, so approach cautiously.\n\nAfter catching a legendary fish, you can either store it on your horse or send it directly to Jeremy via the post office. Sending the fish is the safer option, as losing it due to death or other mishaps will require you to catch it again. Once you''ve caught all 13 legendary fish, return to Jeremy''s cabin to complete the quest and receive your reward: a unique fishing hat and a special lure.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before attempting to catch each fish, as this allows you to retry if something goes wrong. Also, consider upgrading your fishing rod and lures to improve your chances. Finally, explore the game world thoroughly, as some legendary fish are located in remote or hard-to-reach areas. With patience and persistence, you''ll complete the ''Fisher of Fish'' quest and become a master angler in Red Dead Redemption 2.
