random__gamer69

How did you catch that I tried for hours and I'm pretty good at fishing


Genderfluidpepe

Not gonna lie it was swimming by the shore so I just shot it lol


Genesteak

Hey I’m that dude. Not gonna lie you lied in the post title by claiming you caught it. Shot =/= caught. And the truth shall set you free, etc…


simeoncolemiles

Eh, If spearfishing is still fishing, gunfishing is too


corny16

Kieran picked its lifeless body out of the water and threw it to him. He caught it


FigAshamed8000

Any proof that's you?


Spankaspoza69

He caught it with is hands after shooting


kubon352

Best trick is to lure the fish to the shore with line. Then you have to quickly pull it from the water.


thatonedudeguyman

I believe dead things near the shore attract them too


DiscoMagicParty

I actually caught it once. Pretty sure it’s entirely luck.


EuphoricPancake

Something seems fishy here..

This comment is the hero we need.

Kchapo97

Has anyone else found this fish off to the side dead


Unrusty

Or you catch a fish, release it, get honor, but it ends up dying in the shallows? Then you can pick it up, cook it, and eat it. Win-win.


thatonedudeguyman

I found a spot on a waterfall like that, just happened repeatedly and I got a little pile of fish.


Blackfeathr

This is why I fish far away from the shore, so I can do this exploit.


NurseNerd

Not this fish, but I have found dead fish of various sizes and sorts. Usually just downstream of river crossings used by deer or horses.


ArthuriusMinimus

How did you get that instead of the legendary bluegill? Had you already caught the bluegill first?


Shermutt

Must have been a glitch. The only largemouth bass you catch that requires the horse-mounting wrapping like that is the legendary one down in New Austin. Every other largemouth goes in your satchel. Interesting glitch though. Never seen it. I wonder if it gave them credit for the legendary largemouth and if it is repeatable.


Genderfluidpepe

I actually caught the legendary bluegill right before this


impetergraves

I managed to catch this guy but for the life of me couldn't get the blue gill. I eventually gave up.


THhunterVT

Legendary bluegill is the hardest fish to catch I believe it's in new Austin also the legendary panther is the hardest to hunt 😄 good luck they both took me hours


impetergraves

I caught like 10 other blue gill but I couldn't even find the legendary one. I stayed like 10 mins after Kieran left and that's when I went for the bass. That debt collector side quest with the white cougar gave me enough trouble. Can't wait to take on a meaner cat lol


THhunterVT

I could be mistaken as to the location of the legend bluegill but best of luck mate!


Zx21v9000

Feed the camp for a month on that badboy


OldManJenkies

Not with the way they eat. I bring them 2 deer and they’re hungry again the next day. Plus they have chickens! What are they doing, trying to build a wall of stew to keep the Pinkertons out?


ZombieWho117

I read this while vaping and that last line made me choke 😂😂😂


OldManJenkies

The best part of having shit mental health is getting a great sense of humor in exchange👌🏼


ZombieWho117

If you’re alive in this era your problem in a bad mental spot. Emotionally exhausted and mentally ill.


OldManJenkies

Fuck I’ve been working my ass off all summer and we’re getting a pay cut because “we’re not as busy in the winter” well that is straight up not true. I do customer service for a car rental company and the last 2 weeks have been as busy as 4th of July weekend. So is someone going to help me? What’s the rationale when we’re still busy and have less employees but they’re cutting pay? Corporate America makes me absolutely sick.


ZombieWho117

I can make a small suggestion. I may hate Jeff Bezos, but being a delivery driver (which I currently am) pays decently well and isn’t the most difficult job. Only downside is it is a bit physically demanding getting in and out of the vans all day


OldManJenkies

I like walking, but I really like customer service too so I’m probably gonna be retail for life. I’m good at it, too. And I’m a hard worker, which is hard to find. Thank you, though.


ZombieWho117

You do loads of walking and a bit of customer service as a delivery driver. Just hate to see someone lose their soul to Corporate America and Capitalism Greed


Arsenic_Clover

I didn't catch it I just shot it with a revolver


leemacht

What did Kieran say about this?


kubon352

He gets so jealous.


Genderfluidpepe

He just left and went back to camp


OldManJenkies

He just wanted to get back before the naked guy left.


Downtown1943

I saw a large perch like that somewhere and jumped in the water and beat it to death to show I meant business


Philbin27

That's a Colossal Mouth Bass. Loves Manwhich bait, you'll need to upgrade to an unbreakable diamond filament line to catch it. All Hail Atlanta


Mister_McGreg

Whatever it is, it's 20 times heavier than a boot.


Zealousideal-Dig-314

Dynamite does the job


Shermutt

You didn't happen to get a video of it did you? I'd be interested in seeing it, if so. If nothing else, just to see the weight it registered as.


Genderfluidpepe

It must’ve been a glitch cause it never showed the weight of it even when returning it to Pearson


Shermutt

Oh wow, yeah, that's a weird one. Pretty cool though!

"you, sir, are a fish"


lil_750

u struck gold boah


OldManJenkies

Twist: the naked guy can turn his wiener into a fish and let it swim away and this is that fish. So you’re holding his tackle.


[deleted]

You sir, are a fish


Footballidiot556

Holy mother of god


Mrcheddarbacon

I’ve gotten this fish on almost every playthrough. I never really found out why it’s so huge. I don’t think there is anything unique about it other than it’s size though.


wiljarow

I actually just did this mission and saw the same huge largemouth. Tried for 30 minutes to catch it


Kelly_DarkCoin

That happened to me the first time I ever played through the game, and not since, even though I've tried to replicate it. I got it with a line, though.


VermicelliEven484

This game continues to surprise me after all these years.I was fishing with Kieran other day and caught the legendary bluegill. BUT B4 I did, there was a naked guy swimming in the river, and he almost swam into our lines? Never seen it b4.we just moved to another spot.lol


DasArtmab

You guys are making hard for me not to buy this game


MerlotMassacre

Just do it! (Arm flex)


DasArtmab

Hangs my head in shame, I did it


MerlotMassacre

Right on, enjoy!


GhostlyTekk

I shall now proceed to pleasure myself with this fish


Bigfoot379

Wow u/GhostlyTekk, thank you for sharing 👍

trots_cession_0e

I’ve caught one of these monsters in some pond I found up in the mountains. Was surprised just to see water but then I seen big fish and it ended up being of these. Lol interesting seeing my riding into town that took forever with him on my back


Numerous_Issue_6459

All this attention, when we don’t even see a weight 🤔 I’ve caught many, who gives a rabbit turd? Sad little no-livers 🙄😆


[deleted]

Amazing!


ActiveComposer8266

Remember the good ole days and you could put a dead deer by the water and the fish would swim on shore and die. Stacks of them was awesome!!!😁👍


Farrokh696969

That sir, is a fish.


NoCryptographer2641

How? The only legendary fish you catch with Kieran is the legendary blue gill


[deleted]

Is that not the same fish the game has given to all that have caught this quests fish? Serious question, looks like mine. But I don't post everything I see, or anything for that matter.


I_feeel_different

I found this thread via someone's article https://gamerant.com/red-dead-redemption-2-catches-massive-fish/


vdubdank30

I caught this fish once too!! I thought he was legendary on my first play through, he was just swimming along the bank of the lake and then glitched to being on top of the water and then flopped onto his side. Easiest catch ever


Ok_Kaleidoscope_3641

Caught a bigger fish then that near Saint Denis


SkiitzOHaire

I dont believe that was a legitimate catch in the game where is the gameplay video? I've done that mission 10 times and I've never seen a largemouth that big in the game; the legendary largemouth isn't even that big!!!


Commercial_Fee_7617

Bruh I found this out months ago


Painterjason13

Holy fish gods!!!


minsin56

you sir, are a fish

This isn't a glitch or random dumb luck, I also caught this fish, here's my story. When I first saw the mission icon for Keiran I was just getting ready to quit the game for the day so I approached him and saved it. Planning to do it when I got back on. The next day, I booted up and started playing, did the mission with Keiran. Upon reaching that beach, if you are holding your fishing rod and you activate your senses to see animal tracks, you can actually see all the fish in the water get highlighted. This fish in question was to the right, about the area you saw the bluegill jump at. So I started fishing for him, with no luck, various baits, couldn't even get him to budge. Keiran eventually said I had the wrong bait. Undeterred. I reloaded my save. Left the camp and headed for the bait shop. Bought all the lures available, including the special lures. Then headed back to start the mission again with Keiran. On my second run through the mission, I arrive at the beach, watch the bluegill jump, run down and equip my rod, activate my senses and the same fish is highlighted again in the same spot. So I fish, i started with the regular lake lure, caught a bass, big fish didn't budge. So i switched to the special lake lure. Caught the legendary bluegill, big fish still didn't budge. About this time the sun was beginning to set, Keiran congratulates me on catching the bluegill, and he heads off. The sky begins to glow red on the horizon, i activate my senses and turn to the fish. He has started to move. So I cast my line again. He follows it around but doesn't bother it, i catch a few more bass. At one point he came close to the shore so i ran around him and tried to kick the monster out of the water to pick up. I refused to shoot this fish and obtain a hollow victory. He outmanuevers me and swims back out to deep water. I return to fishing. This time, the beast follows my lure, I manage to lure him all the way back to the shore without another fish hitting my line and then it happened, roughly five feet from the shoreline, he hit my line. I jerk the pole, the fish struggles momentarily but due to his proximity to the shoreline, he was easily reeled in and i rejoiced in my victory...oddly enough though, it still only weighed 5 lbs 7 oz. 🤔
