GONE Fishing Fish List — All 110 Species

Q: How many fish are in GONE Fishing?

How many fish are in GONE Fishing?

The community species encyclopedia tracks 110 species, and the number that matters for you is not the total — it is which tier your bait score can reach. Under 60 you are farming Perch, Blue Gill and Redfin Pickeral. Around 175 you start opening Legendary bites, and each map hides one Mythic fish behind the boss.

Roughly two thirds of the list is common water: 71 species with a best recorded value under 500 points. Another 28 sit in the middle, and 11 are the fish people actually plan a session around.

Common fish (best value under 500)

These are the fish you will catch for the first ten days. They are small, they are everywhere, and they are how you fund the rod upgrade that lets you reach the rest. The three most-caught species in the game — Perch, Blue Gill and Redfin Pickeral — each account for more than 26,000 recorded catches.

Mid-tier catches (best value 500-999)

Around the 60-70 bait score mark the list opens up: Sturgeon, Bull Shark, Goblin Shark, Shortfin Mako and the two oddities — Mermaid and Gold Fish — which are worth catching purely for their value-per-pound. A Gold Fish tops out near 15 lb but has been recorded at 807 points.

Legendary and Mythic tier (best value 1,000+)

This is where the game turns into a hunt. Each of these has a huge weight ceiling, a tiny catch count, and a specific map. The rarest are not the heaviest: the Colossal Squid has 8 recorded catches, the Megalodon 15, and a single Megalodon has been logged at 302,070 lb.

Which fish should you actually target?

Target by what you can land, not by what looks best on the table. A Sturgeon averages 865 lb and has been recorded at 7,423 lb, but one snap of an under-levelled line loses the bait and the fish. The practical order is:

Days 1-5: Perch to fund a rod, then Blue Gill and Redfin Pickeral to fund a line.
Days 5-15: Sturgeon, Wels Catfish and Bull Shark once your line survives 2,000 depth.
Day 15+: the map’s Legendary. Bait score 175 is the published floor for Legendary bites as of 1.0.

How this table was built

Every number here comes from the community catch API behind gonefishing.gg, captured on 21 October 2026 with 410,550 recorded catches from 8,375 anglers. Catch counts are all-time; averages and maxima are per species. Values fluctuate with patches — treat them as a comparison, not a price list, and check the bait guide before you commit a session to one species.
