  Equip your Fishing Rod ACNH - Fishing Rod

1. Craft Fish Bait

To easily catch the fish you want, you'll need to craft fish bait! This will help attract more fish instead of just waiting for one to pop out!

2. Check Shadow Size

You'll need to check the shadow size of the fish that appeared and make sure it's similar to the Blowfish.

3. Go Fish!

Once you're sure the fish that appeared has the same shadow size as the fish you want, it's time to prepare your Fishing Rod and go fish!

Blowfish Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a blowfish! I'm blown away!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  As you may know, blowfish carry a deadly poison and are among the most toxic creatures on earth.

  What you may not have known is that poison and spines are not the limit of this animal's defenses! A predator that tried to swallow a blowfish before it inflates can find itself quickly choking.

  To be honest, if said predator can get past poison, spines, AND choking hazards, I feel they've earned a meal.
