Should I keep legendary fish or throw them back in RDR2?

You should keep legendary fish to mail to Jeremy Gill for rewards, but if you want more of the same legendary fish (for size or compendium), release it; releasing any legendary fish gives a significant honor boost, and you can catch the same legendary fish again if you let it go, allowing for bigger catches or more honor gains.

What happens if you throw back a legendary fish in RDR2?

If you throw back a legendary fish in RDR2, it increases your honor and allows you to catch it again, potentially getting a larger one, but it does not respawn permanently for the quest until you've caught and mailed the first one to Jeremy Gill; it's best for getting multiple smaller legendary fish or boosting honor, not re-unlocking the quest for a new specimen.

Should I keep the legendary fish?

You should ** keep legendary fish in games like Stardew Valley for displaying in aquariums, using in fish ponds for income (with the 1.6 update), or for the challenge**, but you can also sell them as they are unique catches, and the achievement is for catching, not keeping them. It's a choice between early cash/energy (eat/sell) versus long-term decoration/income (pond/aquarium).

Are you supposed to throw fish back?

Unfortunately, people who practice “catch and release” cause no less harm to fish than do other anglers. Fish who are caught and then returned to the water suffer such severe physiological stress that they often die of shock, or their injuries may make them easy targets for predators.

Can Arthur get all the legendary fish?

You can catch most legendary fish as Arthur, but the final few in New Austin and West Elizabeth are practically impossible without using glitches because of the "wanted dead or alive" status, invisible snipers, and bounty hunters; while you can glitch to catch them and mail them in, the quest only fully progresses and rewards you in the epilogue as John Marston, so the short answer is no, not legitimately.

Can I catch a legendary fish twice?

Yes, you can catch some legendary fish more than once in Stardew Valley, but it's generally limited to specific circumstances like the Legend II during Mr. Qi's quest, or the original Legend via advanced methods like Challenge Bait or panning, while most other original legendaries (Crimsonfish, Angler, etc.) are typically one per save file. The standard rule for the first five legendaries is one catch per save, but the Extended Family quest offers repeat catches for their "II" versions, and the Legend itself has unique ways to be re-caught.

Can you catch the legendary fish with Kieran?

Yes, you absolutely can catch the Legendary Bluegill with Kieran during the Chapter 3 fishing mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, and it's a special moment where Kieran gets excited, but you need the right Special Lake Lure for it to work, not regular bait.

Is Dutch a bad person in RDR2?

Dutch Van Der Linde isn't a straightforward "bad guy"; he's a complex, tragic figure who starts as a charismatic leader but descends into paranoia, ruthlessness, and psychosis due to immense pressure, losses (like Hosea), and manipulation (primarily by Micah), eventually becoming a villain who betrays his own principles and family, showing he was always deeply flawed, or at least broke under the weight of a dying era. He's a cautionary tale of idealism corrupted by trauma and circumstance, ultimately becoming the antagonist to Arthur and John.

Can you actually catch the legendary channel catfish in RDR2?

No, you cannot actually catch the Legendary Channel Catfish in Red Dead Redemption 2; it's a famous in-game mystery and a "troll" from Rockstar, part of Jeremy Gill's quest, where he gets pulled in, but the fish itself remains uncatchable by players, despite appearing in the compendium and files. You complete the mission by accompanying Gill, taking a photo of his attempt, and then find his hat, with the fish never spawning naturally, although PC mods can reveal its unused model.

What is the 80/20 rule in fishing?

The 80/20 rule in fishing (Pareto Principle) suggests that 80% of the fish are caught by 20% of the anglers, using 20% of the lures, in 20% of the water. It means focusing on the "vital few" factors: identifying productive spots (structure, currents, tides), using a few effective lures/flies (like pheasant tails or trusted bass jigs), and understanding that most catches happen in specific conditions or areas, not everywhere. Applying it means simplifying your approach by identifying and maximizing these key inputs for better results.

The 10-Minute Rule for cooking fish is a simple guideline: cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part, flipping once halfway through, for methods like baking, grilling, or pan-frying.

Can I catch legendary fish twice in RDR2?

In Red Dead Redemption 2, generally, you can only catch each legendary fish once per save file, as they disappear after being caught and mailed to Jeremy Gill, but you might be able to catch a specific one again if you lose it before mailing it or if it gets bugged out, allowing for a second attempt.
