Legendary fish are even larger than Trophy fish in Cast n Chill. They are massive catches that often weigh 20lbs or more. To catch a legendary fish, you must first be in the right fishing spot, as well as fish during the right time of day. Use the “snooze” button (the sun/moon icon in the bottom right) to fast-forward time and meet their schedule.
You’ll uncover clues about these elusive giants by contributing a coin to the Tackle Shop’s tip jar. When you finally land a legendary, it’ll be marked with a special trophy icon and labelled as a Legendary catch. Expect to earn a nice bit of change because legendary fish sell for top dollar at the Tackle Shop.
We’ll break down each Legendary Fish by location in this guide. To unlock every location in Cast n Chill, be sure to check out our other guide here.
