Where To Find Big Fish In Monster Hunter Wilds

by

Fishing is a popular leisure activity that many people enjoy, which makes sense since it’s also quite prevalent in video games. In fact, you could say it’s one of the most frequently included mini-games out there. Monster Hunter, including its version Wilds, doesn’t shy away from this feature either. However, the process of finding fish in Monster Hunter Wilds is not just a simple matter; the real challenge lies in discovering these elusive creatures first.

You can always rely on Kanya for all your fishing requirements, as she has an extraordinary passion for fish that borders on obsession. Despite this, she is a wealth of knowledge, so it might be worth catching a large fish to impress her. Plus, you’ll also get some top-notch bait and have the opportunity to prepare some delicious cooked fish afterwards!

How To Start The Catch Of A Lifetime Quest

As a dedicated angler in Kanya’s world, I find myself embarking on my fourth angling adventure. Once again, I’m stationed by the tranquil pond within the Scarlet Forest Base Camp, but remember, you must have completed all her preceding quests – like ‘Seeking The Goldenfish’ and ‘Fishing For Flavor’ – before this one becomes available to you.

To unlock this quest, you’ll have to advance quite a bit into the story first. So, keep on playing until it becomes accessible. Once you take up the quest, Kanya will provide you with two fresh types of bait: the Tuff Joint Bait and the Duster Rig for your assistance.

Best Areas To Find A Whopper

As a fish enthusiast, I’ve noticed that while common fish can be found across different regions and environments, Giant Fish species are unique in their distribution. Instead of populating waters indiscriminately, some Big Fish call only select streams and lakes their home. Unlike their widespread counterparts, these giants don’t appear everywhere. Additionally, I’ve found that weather plays a significant role in their existence, with the Plenty season being the best time to spot them due to favorable conditions.

In abundance, The Crimson Woods boasts an impressive array of various fish species, particularly the larger ones, making it our top pick for your fishing destination. Among the frequently spotted species are these three:

1. The Red Fin
2. The Silver Scales
3. The Spotted Swimmers

  • Gastronome Tuna – These are most easily found during the Plenty in the large lake in Area 12 underneath the Wudwud Hideout.
  • Great Trevally – These are usually found in streams, such as those by the corner in Area 13.
  • Speartuna – These are the hardest fish of all to catch, though come with unique crafting materials.

Among the various types of tuna, The Gastronome Tuna is quite common and an excellent choice for beginners since it’s relatively easy to catch. If you’re up for a greater challenge, you might consider targeting the rarer Speartuna instead.

A productive spot to find a multitude of fish is Area 17, known as the location for the climactic battle with Uth Duna. It’s particularly rich in Speartuna, and due to its expansive nature, there are always plenty of fish swimming around.

When battling a large fish, make sure they don’t collide with any obstacles. This will significantly amplify the tension on the line, and there’s a higher chance of the fish slipping away.

In the Scarlet Forest, an interesting phenomenon takes place, which we call “Gathering Feasts“. These are unexpected gatherings of various aquatic and aerial creatures at specific spots in the water, attracted by food sources, with plenty of large fish residing here. To catch these active feeders, simply cast your fishing line into the center and pull it out slowly from time to time, and you’ll find yourself reeling in fish non-stop.

Best Bait To Use For Big Fish

Big Fish, often playfully referred to as Whoppers, operate distinctly from ordinary fish. Once you’ve hooked them, instead of just pulling them up, you need to engage in a struggle by following their movements until they exhaust themselves. After they’ve become tired, you can gradually reel them in, but they might start fighting back again. This process is repeated until they are finally brought ashore.

Absolutely, drawing them in initially can indeed be a tough task, but that’s exactly where our innovative bait, the Tuff Joint Bait, shines. We’ve found the biggest catches in the Scarlet Forest, and this bait works exceptionally well there. Employing this bait reduces the likelihood (though not eliminates it) of other fish being attracted.

Should you find yourself exploring the vibrant Scarlet Forest for a fishing excursion, consider doing so during its bountiful period. You’ll have a higher chance of encountering large fish at such times, and the transparency of the water will greatly enhance your ability to spot them easily.

Larger fish are less likely to take your bait overall, requiring more perseverance from you. It’s better to gently pull in the fishing line instead of quickly jerking it. If the fish you want is moving further away, just throw the line again closer to where they are. Remember, larger fish are not as common, so be prepared to wait a while before they come around.

Catching a fish for Kanya will please her, provided that the struggle to catch it was worthwhile.
