In this Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Fish Locations Guide, we will guide you on the locations of all Legendary Fish that are present in Red Dead Redemption 2. As you discover more people around the map, one of the Strangers you meet in the game will give you a map of all the Legendary Fish that are found in the waters around the map.
You will then need to find and catch all these Legendary Fish found in the game. Since the map is very vague and hardly points out their location on the map, we have curated this Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Fish Locations Guide in which we have pinpointed the exact locations of all the Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Legendary Fish – Where to Find
Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Fish Locations Guide details everything that you need to know about the location of all Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2.
There are 14 Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2 out of which 3 are in New Austin and you can only catch them after completing the complete main story. Once you have caught all Legendary Fish, the final one will only be unlocked then. The quest giver will go with you himself for the final fish.
Before you start hunting these Legendary Fish, you will need to find a specific Stranger, Jeremy Gill, and start this side mission ‘A Fisher of Fish’ after interacting with him. He is found in a small fishing shack in Gill Landing. His location is marked below. Once you have started the mission, you will be in possession of the map which shows the locations of all Legendary Fish in the game.
Another thing that you will need before hunting these Legendary Fish is a special type of lure. These lures can only be bought from a special shop which is located at the Lagras in Bayou. The exact location is marked on the map below. A Legendary Fish is found right next to this shop. At the shop, you can purchase any of the following three baits.
- Special Lake Lure – $20.00
- Special River Lure – $20.00
- Special Swamp Lure – $20.00
Once you have these three lures, you can begin your Legendary Fish hunt right next to this shop. It is worth mentioning here that these Legendary Fish are not attracted to bait or normal lures. You must have these special lures to catch the Legendary Fish
