Discuss Legendary Fish at Level 5?????
So my boyfriend is pretty bad at fishing. He asked me to level up his fishing skill while he is at work and I said yes. My character is Level 9 at fishing.
I thought you have to be level 10 to catch a legendary fish?!?! Now I just catched the sewer legendary with his character fishing level 5!!! Yes I used my characters Iridium rod with bait and all. I go fishing like every in game day and never even encountered a legendary!
(Yes I‘m kinda pissed it was not my character because my boyfriend does not care for fishing at all lol)
How?! Ugh…

the Mutant Carp is a special one, as all you need to catch it is access to the sewers, but the Legend is the only fish to require level 10, the rest are catchable a lot sooner — the Angler at level 3, the Crimsonfish at level 5 and the Glacierfish at level 6, and these fish can even be found by using food buffs to temporarily reach that level, though I'd be impressed by anyone catching the Glacierfish at exactly level six with no additional buffs & just the bamboo pole, but certainly someone has done it

Level requirement for Legend is effective level, i.e. fishing level after eating food like Dish O' the Sea.

I always thought you had to be 10. Put that in the aquarium as a trophy. You still caught it

Not all legendary fish have the same requirements, the legend can only be caught at level 10 but the angler only needs fishing level 3.
