One of the most infamous RDR2 Mysteries is the legendary channel catfish, This story will focus on gathering all the info about this fish.

The catfish is unlocked in your compendium after the fisher of fish missions. Right away everything suggests that you can somehow catch this fish, you have to fish for it during overcast weather.

You can also get a special spinner, which is used for catching legendary fish.

It's implied that you have to use it to catch the legendary channel catfish.

Also, an Uncaught icon of the catfish appears on the Map. Players have spent countless hours trying to catch it, unfortunately with no luck.

Thanks to the game files, it's confirmed that the fish is uncatchable. You can't kill it, but you can’t collect it, and it never appears in the game.

This is the ped model of the legendary channel catfish, The fish was originally supposed to be in the game but the idea was scrapped. Game files confirm that it was supposed to appear during this mission.

These are the exact coordinates.

And this is the place.

The players might catch it once they complete the mission.

The idea was probably scrapped because the catfish was tod glitchy.

Fun fact: Originally, you can do the second fisher of fish mission as Arthur Morgan.

It was back when Arthur was able to enter new Austin. You can trigger this mission with a Mod.
