Master the 'A Fisher of Fish' Stranger Mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. Learn where to find all 13 Legendary Fish, the best lures, and the rewards you'll earn.
Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'A Fisher of Fish' Stranger Mission in Red Dead Redemption 2? This one's a bit of a long haul, best saved for when you're deep into the Epilogue, but it's totally worth it for the rewards. You'll need to head up to Clemens Point, which you'll unlock at the start of Chapter 3. Just make your way northwest from the main camp along the shore, and you should spot Jeremy Gill chilling on a pier. Chat him up, and he'll get you set up with a Legendary Fish map and a promise of good money for your catches.
Just a heads-up, there are a whopping 13 Legendary Fish scattered all over the map. You won't be able to get your hands on the last couple until you hit the Epilogue. While you can technically use any lure, using the right one will make your life a whole lot easier. Also, remember these big guys are too massive to fit in your inventory, so you'll have to carry them one by one. It's probably best to focus on catching one at a time and heading straight back to Jeremy.
You can find all the Legendary Fish locations on the interactive map, but here’s a quick rundown of each one, along with the recommended lure and where to find them:
| Fish | Lure | Location |
| Bluegill | Special Lake | South of Clemens Point, between the small island and the shore |
| Bullhead Catfish | Special River | Fish off the island to the west of the Penitentiary |
| Chain Pickerel | Special River | Dakota River near Flatneck Station |
| Lake Sturgeon | Special River | Fish off the bridge southwest of Saint Denis |
| Largemouth Bass | Special River | Requires Epilogue progression, San Luis River southeast of Lake Don Julio |
| Longnose Gar | Special Swamp | Fish just off the northern part of Lakay |
| Muskie | Special River | Fish at the bottom of the Lighthouse at Van Horn Trading Post |
| Perch | Special Lake | Elysian Pool |
| Redfin Pickerel | Special Lake | Requires Epilogue progression, largest body of water at Stillwater Creek |
| Rock Bass | Special Lake | Fish off the pier at Aurora Basin |
| Smallmouth Bass | Special Lake | Owanjila Lake |
| Sockeye Salmon | Special Lake | Southern section of Lake Isabella |
| Steelhead Trout | Special River | Far northeast of the map, along the waterfall |
As you start sending these fish off to Jeremy, he'll start sending you rewards. Here’s what you can expect:
| Fish Mailed | Reward |
| 1 | Lake Lure |
| 10 | $45 and Succulent Fish Meat x5 |
| 13 | Advance the Stranger Mission |
Once you've mailed all 13 Legendary Fish, Jeremy will invite you to his cabin for a final adventure. He'll want to go catch a giant Catfish down in Rio Bravo. When you get there, Jeremy will try his luck but won't manage to catch it. After all that, you'll be able to snag his Special Spinner and his Hat. Pretty neat, right?
