Let’s break it all down so you can hook that fishy beast, impress Kanya, and rake in those rewards.

Get Started

Wondering where to catch a whopper Monster Hunter Wilds? You’ve got your rod, your lure, and a weird craving for fish sticks. But where’s the Whopper hiding? Head over to the Scarlet Forest, specifically the body of water to the northeast of Area 17. Now, this isn’t your average marked location. You want to fish north of the invisible barrow, directly beneath the “17” on the brown part of the map. If you're just looking at the water icon—you're in the wrong spot, friend. Pro Tip: Go at night during Seasons of Plenty for the best chance at hooking a big one. That said, large fish can still show up during the day—it just might take longer, so time-of-day swapping is optional.

Which Fish Count as a Whopper?

Here’s the fun part—MH Wilds Whopper isn’t one specific fish. It’s more of a fish category, so you’ve got a few different species to aim for. Here’s the breakdown:

• Gastronome Tuna
• Goliath Squid
• Gajau Catch any of these, and you’ll tick the box for The Catch of a Lifetime. But they all have different tastes, so you’ll need the right bait if you want to impress them.

What Bait to Use (Lure It Right or Lose the Bite)

Kanya’s got your back with a selection of special lures. Don’t even think about tossing in a plain ol’ worm—these fish are high-maintenance. Here’s what each prefers:

Tuff Joint Bait

• Best for: Gastronome Tuna & Goliath Squid
• If you’re aiming for one of the big boys, this bait is your go-to.

Duster Jig

• Best for: Gajau
• Gajau love this stuff. Just don’t ask what it’s made of. Probably lint.

Tentacle Jig

• Best for: Goliath Squid (again!)
• Goliath Squid is greedy and apparently not picky—this is another solid option if you don’t have the Tuff Joint Bait.

The Fishing Mini-Game: How to Reel Without Screaming

So, you found the right spot, tossed the right bait, and BAM—you’ve got a bite. Now what? Welcome to the fishing mini-game. It's not just a simple “press to win” situation. This fish fights back, and you’ve got to stay calm and fish on.

Here’s how to win the tug-o-war: Follow the fish. When it swims left, pull left. When it swims right, pull right. Always match the direction to reduce tension. Avoid obstacles. If that line snaps on a rock, you’re going to be screaming into the void. Fish jumping? React fast! If the fish jumps out of the water, pull the line in the direction it leaps, then quickly hit the right trigger to counter that move. Time it right and you’ll sap its energy. Wait for the fish to tire. Once the fish stops resisting and just kind of... gives up on life, that’s your moment. Pull the line toward yourself to reel it in and seal the deal.

Turn In the Catch and Collect Those Rewards

Once your fishy foe is out of the water and flopping in victory, take your prize back to Kanya at the Scarlet Forest base camp. She’ll geek out for a second, then hook you up with:

• 5x Gunpowderfish Scale
• 5x Honey
• 200 Guild Points That last one’s a biggie. It’s a fat XP boost for your Hunter Rank, so catching this Whopper Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t just for bragging rights—it actually helps you grow. Deliciously productive.
