Where can I find all the legendary fish for the "Fisher of Fish" achievement?

To unlock the ''Fisher of Fish'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must catch all 13 legendary fish scattered across the game world. These fish are unique and require specific strategies to catch. The achievement is tied to the Stranger mission ''A Fisher of Fish,'' which becomes available in Chapter 2 after meeting Jeremy Gill at his cabin near Flat Iron Lake. This mission will guide you through the process of catching legendary fish, but you’ll need to explore the map thoroughly to find them all.\n\nFirst, you’ll need the Special Lake Lure, Special River Lure, and Special Swamp Lure to catch legendary fish. These lures can be purchased from the bait shop in Lagras, located in the Bayou Nwa region. Each lure costs $20, and they are essential because legendary fish will not bite regular bait. Once you have the lures, you can begin your hunt for the legendary fish. Each fish is located in a specific body of water, and their locations are marked on your map after you start the mission.\n\nThe legendary fish are spread across five states: New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, Ambarino, and New Austin. Some of the most notable locations include the Dakota River for the Legendary Smallmouth Bass, Owanjila Lake for the Legendary Muskie, and the Kamassa River for the Legendary Longnose Gar. Each fish has unique behavior and requires different techniques to catch. For example, the Legendary Steelhead Trout in the Upper Montana River is known for its aggressive bites, so you’ll need to reel it in quickly to avoid losing it.\n\nOne common challenge players face is locating the exact spots where the legendary fish spawn. To make this easier, use the in-game map markers provided by Jeremy Gill. These markers will guide you to the general area, but you’ll need to explore the water to find the exact fishing spot. Look for ripples or splashes in the water, as these indicate where the fish are active. Additionally, legendary fish are more likely to bite during specific weather conditions or times of day, so be patient and try fishing at different times if you’re having trouble.\n\nAnother challenge is managing your stamina while reeling in larger fish. Legendary fish are much stronger than regular fish, and they can deplete your stamina bar quickly. To avoid losing the fish, hold down the reel button and use short, controlled movements to tire the fish out. Avoid reeling too quickly, as this can cause the line to snap. If the fish starts to struggle, release the reel button momentarily to let the line slack, then resume reeling once the fish calms down.\n\nOnce you’ve caught all 13 legendary fish, you’ll need to mail them to Jeremy Gill using the post office. Each fish must be mailed individually, and you’ll receive a reward for each one. After mailing all the fish, return to Jeremy’s cabin to complete the mission and unlock the ''Fisher of Fish'' achievement. Keep in mind that some legendary fish, such as the Legendary Channel Catfish in New Austin, are only accessible after completing the main story, so plan your fishing trips accordingly.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before attempting to catch a legendary fish. This allows you to reload if something goes wrong, such as losing the fish or running out of bait. Additionally, make sure your fishing rod is fully upgraded and that you have plenty of stamina tonics on hand. Finally, be patient and persistent, as some legendary fish may take multiple attempts to catch. With the right preparation and strategy, you’ll soon have the ''Fisher of Fish'' achievement in your collection.
