    Anyone have some tips on how to catch this damn fish?

    Its just a ridiculous quest if you ask me, i do whatever the game teached in the questline before, but after several 15-20 min fights the damn fish just breaks off each time. What did the developers think when they made such a quest part of the game

    It's a side quest, not even an important one- don't you forget about this. I managed to get the fish on my 2nd try, while wielding the 2nd fishing rod. It's all about trail and error and it's definitely an acceptable difficulty.

    Fishing requires patience, and this fish you can't rush catch.

    Patience? How much!?

    Dude I've been fighting this fish for close to an hour now and this can't be right!

    I used the perk making fish tired quicker, plus for the fishing rod I took the best one available at the moment. I wish the wonderboy was already available for getting the admiral, it's a LOT better than the first 2 rods. But it's the reward of this admiral mission

    What gets me is when I was in Vietnam,we used an M26A1 grenade to clear streams of booby traps AND do our fishing. One frag=cleared stream and It's sushi time!

    Don't even try till you get the perk to make fish tired faster and when he runs let him, don't fight it. Also reel like hell when he jumps out of the water, it's a free few seconds. It took me about 5 tries fighting him 10-20mins each time. The rod you get for it is totally worth his crap though.

    If I was really fishing, I'd enjoy working a fish for 30 minutes. But in a video game?? Boring. You have very little control, just have to wait for him to tire out.

    I spent 3 day and night cycles trying to catch this fish. I would release the tension when things got rough and that would be fine and then all of a sudden the line goeas red and the Admiral is gone again haha. Then all of a sudden i cast my line, hook the fish and reeled him straight in withing about 6 seconds and completed the catch. So weird.
