RDR2 Legendary Fish Locations — All 13

Before you set out

• Normal bait will not work. You need Special Lake, River or Swamp Lures.
• Start the quest first. Speak with Jeremy Gill at Gill Landing after completing A Fisher of Men, then buy the three special lures in Lagras.
• Checklist scope: these 13 fish are separate from the Northern Pike mission and the later Jeremy Gill encounter. This page does not confirm weather-dependent catch rates.
• Mail them, do not carry them. Ship each catch to Jeremy Gill from any post office.

Stuck on a lure, catch or delivery?

Follow the legendary fishing help guide to check special lures, a fish that will not bite, mailing to Jeremy Gill and the invitation after all 13 fish.

Updated October 8, 2026: lure labels now explicitly say “Special”; catch and delivery help is linked separately.

Sources and correction note

September 7, 2026: the Largemouth Bass entry now recommends the Special River Lure. Both PowerPyx's location guide and RDR2.org's fishing guide recommend it for the San Luis River location. The old Lake Lure label conflicted with those sources.

This is a source-based correction, not a claim that other special lures can never work. Other locations remain a fan-reference checklist.
