What's the hardest fish to catch in Red Dead Redemption 2?

The hardest "fish" to catch in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the Legendary Channel Catfish, also known as "General Sherman," because it's actually an uncatchable Easter egg designed as a troll by Rockstar Games, despite appearing on the map and in the compendium. For catchable legendary fish, players often struggle with the Legendary Muskie due to its awkward location near the Van Horn lighthouse and the tough fight, or the Legendary Lake Sturgeon because of its difficult-to-reach spot on the railroad bridge.

Can you catch the 200 pound catfish in RDR2?

No, you cannot naturally catch the rumored 200 lb Legendary Channel Catfish in Red Dead Redemption 2; it's an infamous piece of cut content, a "fish tale" meant to be uncatchable, even though it appears in the Compendium and has game files, with its quest ending in the mysterious disappearance of fisherman Jeremy Gill. While some players have used PC mods to spawn its model (which glitches and is massive), it's not a legitimate part of the game's intended experience, leaving it as a legendary mystery.

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.

Can hippo skin stop a bullet?

No, hippo skin isn't truly bulletproof, but it's incredibly thick (up to 2.4 inches/6cm) and tough, with dense muscle and fat, making it highly resistant, especially to smaller bullets, requiring large-caliber rifles and precise shots for hunting, not just "explosives". While not stopping everything, it's far tougher than human skin, absorbing significant momentum, which is why it feels nearly impervious to small arms fire, notes an engineering perspective on Quora.
