Sonia is craving some fresh seafood but finds it hard to catch on her own.
She hopes you can help her out by saving a few large fish from your next fishing trip.
Prerequisites
- (Recommended) Large Bait
How to Complete
You can catch some large fish with a basic fishing rod around fishing spots in the Town & Mountain areas.
Below are some large fish available early in the game:
| Large Fish | Season | Weather | Location | Fishing Rod Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basa | All Seasons | All Weather | South of Mountain | Any |
| Bighead Carp | All Seasons | All Weather | West and Center of Town, Bazaar Pond | Silver |
| Marbled Eel | Autumn | Stormy, Blizzard | Center of Town | Copper |
| Nile Perch | Summer, Autumn | All Weather | North, Center, and South of Mountain | Silver |
| Silver Carp | All Seasons | All Weather | West and Center of Town, Center of Mountain | Any |
Tip: To increase your chances of hooking a Large Fish, process some Large Fish Bait in the Blue Windmill. To use bait, place it in your bag then right-click on the bait on your item bar.
Most large fish have 12 or more prompts you need to follow to reel them in. This can be tough with early-game rods.
But you can slow down the timer by eating foods that grants Rod Durability Up Lv. 1-4 like Fish Cake or Onion Soup.

Once you’ve successfully caught 3 large fish, deliver them to Sonia to complete the request.
