[spoilers] What's the rarest fish you've caught this month? [north hemisphere]

[Loubelle]

I also have caught all the fish available for march, I believe. The hardest ones for me were the golden trout and sturgeon :v

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

A Coelacanth!

 

[deerprongs]

Currently my rarest fish has been several sturgeon and marlin! I'm working toward the coelacanth though!

 

[Mint]

I've caught all of the fish available this month. The Barreleye and Golden Trout took me the longest to find.

stringfish, oarfish, coelacanth, barreleye

i'm still looking for a golden trout!

 

[blinkcrossing]

The stringfish for sure! It took me around 150 bait! I caught the golden trout, and char before i got the stringfish.

 

[Minto]

I've caught one sturgeon so far and 3 oarfish. Really been trying to get that coelacanth the past few days.

 

[Xara]

i’ve caught the majority of the rare fish available this month - barreleye, stringfish, coelacanth, etc. the only one i’m missing is the golden trout lol

 

[CamelotHannah]

oarfish and coelacanth. still searching for the stringfish. really hope i can find it soon

 

[Cosmic_Insanity]

I caught a coelacanth this morning, but I've caught quite a few oarfish, knifejaws and snappers too. I saw a method on YT for finding sturngeons whereby you visit a Nook Miles island with an outlet into the sea and, similarly to tarantula hunting, you clear every fish except the river mouth spawns. That way, when it's a large shadow, it's almost guaranteed to be a sturngeon. I'm yet to try this though.

I've caught all the fish for March. I think the rarest (or hardest to catch) had to be the Stringfish due to the amount of bait I had to use (close to 100, although I've heard stories of people using upwards of 300).

I got a little lucky with barreleye I think. I ran up and down the beach for about an hour or two and one spawned.

 

[skogkyst]

I must be lucky because I got the Stringfish on my second bait and the Coalacanth without any bait. I also got the Oarfish, Sturgeonfish, and the Barreleye multiple times

 

[sunchild]

i've gotten all the fist set to go away at the end of this month so i would say the hardest for me to find and catch was the stringfish. the other "march" fish were pretty easy for me to find naturally, but i had to really work to find the stringfish. also it has barely rained on my island so no coelacanth yet ):

 

[heavencaller]

I never caught a barreleye on my island I caught it on my northern hemisphere friend's island. Most annoying fish for me was definitely the giant trevally. I've had a lot of luck with both the golden trout and the dorado appearing in my town as far as high value fish go.

 

[DinoTown]

Oarfish and sturgeon. I haven't had the chance to catch any others because my fish luck SUCKS

 

[meo]

Coelacanth. stringfish, golden trout..probably.

 

[Jhin]

I got a coelacanth on my second day... took me years to get one in NL :^ )

 

[ayeeprill]

Yesterday I made 60 bait to try for the Stringfish and I got it on bait number 59! Also got a golden trout while I was looking for it.

 

[mocha.]

Stringfish/oar fish/tuna/sturgeon. Still can’t get a golden trout for some reason lol, and I’m on the hunt for the elusive Coelacanth but just need the right weather.

 

[Goop]

Stringfish, Oarfish, and Football fish.
I still need the coelacanth but it literally hasn't rained on my island since getting the game. ;w;​
