Where can I find the Legendary Longnose Gar in Red Dead Redemption 2?

The Legendary Longnose Gar is one of the most challenging fish to catch in Red Dead Redemption 2, but with the right preparation and strategy, you can successfully reel it in. This legendary fish is found in the southern region of the map, specifically in the waters of the Lannahechee River near the border of Lemoyne and New Hanover. To begin your quest, you must first unlock the Legendary Fish Map by completing the mission ''A Fisher of Fish'' given by Jeremy Gill, a fisherman you can meet at his cabin in the northeast part of Flat Iron Lake.\n\nBefore heading to the fishing spot, ensure you have the Special River Lure, which is essential for catching legendary fish. You can purchase this lure from the bait shop in Lagras, located in the Bayou Nwa region. Without this lure, you won''t be able to hook the Legendary Longnose Gar. Additionally, bring plenty of health tonics and stamina tonics, as catching this fish can be a lengthy and physically demanding process.\n\nOnce you arrive at the Lannahechee River, look for a small island near the southernmost part of the river, close to the border of Lemoyne. This is the prime location for the Legendary Longnose Gar. Equip your Special River Lure and cast your line into the deeper parts of the river. The fish is most active during sunny weather, so aim to fish during the day for the best results. Be patient, as it may take several attempts to hook the fish.\n\nWhen you finally hook the Legendary Longnose Gar, the real challenge begins. This fish is incredibly strong and will put up a fierce fight. Use the reeling mechanics carefully: hold the right stick down to keep tension on the line, and when the fish tires, quickly reel in by rotating the left stick. Avoid reeling when the fish is struggling, as this can cause the line to break. If the fish starts pulling away, release the right stick momentarily to reduce tension.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the fish escaping or the line breaking. To avoid this, always keep an eye on the line tension indicator. If it turns red, stop reeling and let the fish tire itself out. Additionally, make sure your stamina is high by using tonics if necessary, as reeling in the Legendary Longnose Gar can drain your stamina quickly.\n\nOnce you successfully catch the fish, you can either keep it as a trophy or mail it to Jeremy Gill as part of the ''A Fisher of Fish'' questline. If you choose to mail it, you''ll receive a reward and progress toward completing the legendary fish collection. Remember, legendary fish cannot be sold, so their primary value lies in completing the quest and earning bragging rights.\n\nFor players struggling with the location or mechanics, consider saving your game before attempting to catch the fish. This allows you to reload if something goes wrong. Also, practice your fishing skills on smaller fish in the area to get a feel for the mechanics before tackling the Legendary Longnose Gar. With patience and persistence, you''ll eventually land this elusive catch and add it to your collection.
