Exact catch conditions for every legendary fish: location, season, weather, time window, fishing level, difficulty, and base sell price. Use this as the decision page before you attempt Legend, Crimsonfish, Angler, Glacierfish, Mutant Carp, or Qi's Extended Family fish.
Best prep
Use Iridium Rod, Cork Bobber or Trap Bobber, and fishing buff food for hard catches.
Season matters
Legend, Crimsonfish, Angler, and Glacierfish each have strict seasonal windows.
Location matters
Several legendary fish require a precise map spot, not just a general region.
Data checked

Quick answer
The hardest legendary fish are Legend and Legend II at difficulty 110. The original five legendary fish are one-time catches per save file, while the Extended Family fish are tied to Qi's Extended Family quest. For the safest attempt, reach the listed fishing level, use a larger fishing bar, and bring fishing buff food.
