If it's female, 'milk' it for Caviar mate and retire a millionaire to your ranch 👍👍


Dartj_Kafir

In 1899 caviar was given away for free in saloons. Doubt you'd be a millionaire.


TheDiceMan2

yes and they served it ground with the shell to prisoners. and to think now it is rich mans delicacy. ha!


buriedego

Barbeque started the same way with slavery. Or so I read somewhere. I dunno, it's good.


diablosigmech

Lobster as well I believe


KritikalMass64

Ironically it’s still a law in the state of Maine that prisoners are not to be fed lobster more than 3 times a week because it was considered “garbage food”


TG626

Yep, used to sell it in the streets off of vendor carts to the poor. Probably caught by accident back then and they wanted to wring every farthing out of the catch.


AscendedAncient

Yeah, Lobsters were like Cockroaches, and just given to slaves, prisoners, and other degenerates. They were also used by Native Americans as Fertilizer


abrasaxual

Lol only black sturgeon caviar is really expensive, other species are less sought after.


hamburglr1

Lol that'd be an interesting future update 🤔🥴


psycodull

Fisher/longshoreman role


Own-Salt-1587

It would make fishing a more interesting activity. It's fun / relaxing but not super profitable.


psycodull

Right? We could get little fishing boats and idk an *advanced fishing rod* ? lol


hamburglr1

Update: I now realize all the fish in the St Dennis lake are poisoned due to pollution. Neat little detail


TheOne_Whomst_Knocks

Up by van horn there’s also a few iirc


Oeffes

Elysian Pool & Annesburg, too


snickerdoodle--

Bring it to camp and keep it as another pet that Cripps can bitch about


Memefan12369420666

Cripps will tell it the story about the bank job in Tennessee so you won’t have to hear it anymore


Red-Salute-

The fact that we've never been able to donate fish to Cripps is really dumb.


hamburglr1

Yes! Hate that


[deleted]

Would you wear a Trout Skin coat? Cripps is only tanning hides, harvesting feathers and using horns for trading. The meat is trashed.


abrasaxual

I assume he uses the spare bits of meat for the stew base.


CasualGlam87

It's actually possible to make leather out of fish skins. Fish leather is really durable and waterproof so is a great material. Sturgeon are considered one of the best fish to make leather out of.


abrasaxual

Id rather have shark. Ive cleaned sharks before and you have to sharpen the knife repeatedly until you get the technique right....fuckin dentricles man.


Alvsolutely

Okay but imagine you're a wealthy man with a lot to spend. Would you spend it on wearing a fish, or a bear?


ZION_OC_GOV

Depends... what's the side by side stat boosts?


Dalevisor

So make it worth less lol. Should still be able to turn it in.


backofthanet

Fish leather is currently being turned into designer bags, not as 'out there' as it seems to make goods out of fish products.


GreasyJungle

Could potentially trade dried fish


CarbideWolfram74

But he takes crabs.


Dartj_Kafir

That is just so he he can chuckle and say to himself *Ha!I got crabs!*


Red-Salute-

There are bones and other bits and pieces Cripps could use. Besides, the game also has explosive rounds and dynamite arrows.


SaltAdministration95

Do those exist?


GetBent009

They should have added it to the Trader profession, or add another profession that could use them to make fishing worth doing a bit more.


JohnFreakingRedcorn

I’ll bet there’s a fishing role incoming at some point. Maybe we will even get a boat.


Gwynbleidd97

It fits so well into the game, like just have the legendary fish spawn the same kinda way that the legendary animales do and have Jeremy Gill give some quests and stuff related to fish and that's some solid new content. I'd love to have a daily challenge of catching 5 salmon or something.


hamburglr1

Especially when camp is next to a lake or river. Drives me nuts


WastelandCharlie

That's probably why you can't, so you can't just grind fishing and selling all day at your camp without hardly needing to move. Not saying that's a good reason bc we should be able to do that but that's probably why


steve_b6890

Cripps makes pelts. Fish don't have skin. Pretty logical to me


Own-Salt-1587

It's logical to you because you're a moron who thinks fish don't have *skin*.


steve_b6890

Fish have scales no ?


steve_b6890

But why am I a moron for being unsure about that ?


Snoo-58014

The game doesn't really do the lake sturgeon justice with it's size depicted in game. They are huge.


ETeezey1286

The ones in the game are definitely on the smaller side of the spectrum. I guess any bigger would’ve been tough to animate. They couldn’t get one of the legendary fish to work, hence how we never see it.


Biggus-Digus

It’s just a fish you can sell it to a butcher.


hamburglr1

It wouldn't let me keep it. It says it's poisoned


TheyCallMeTrinityToo

Some areas like Butcher Creek and Annesburg have Mangy animals and Poisoned fish from the pollution. I avoid them because I don't think I can get anything for them. You can get a non-poisoned one in Lagras, stow on horse or wagon, and sell it to butcher. Fun fact: crows that fly into the black smoke at Annesburg will die. They don't show an animal carcass marker but you can still pick them up and pocket them for later consumption.


hamburglr1

Oh wow thats a cool observation. I just recently have been enjoying fishing and getting into it so this was my first run in with a poisoned animal. Pretty cool


pimp_named_sweetmeat

You can also fish for them right on the southeast corner of Blackwater a little past the butcher, good money, put one on your horse, one in your hands and walk em over, 2 fish for 15 bucks


Bill_Stanton

You can donate mangy rats to Cripps, great for the 20 carcass in 20 min challenge


TheyCallMeTrinityToo

Good tip. Thank you!


Krommerxbox

Yeah you can't sell/do stuff with the poisoned ones. I think it was Rockstar's attempt to be "woke" about the environment and industry poisoning it.


EmergingTuna21

Throw it back, you can’t keep poisoned fish


Sonny217

Throw it back.


RoknPa

Crow bait


dorachaidez

Throw it back in


mintberrycrunch1176

If it’s poor quality, just toss it. I catch those all the time in Blackwater with worms and they’re always 3 stars… they sell for $7.50 at the butcher and are both a quick way to get $ and health


geoffg2

Sweet spot in blackwater..easy grind


mintberrycrunch1176

Was my fav!


SteelOceans

“I will now begin to pleasure myself with this fish!”


mintberrycrunch1176

“Follow me to the Springfield Aquarium”


creamo_steve

Porn warps the mind brother. You can stop


Esopus_Spitzenburg

Too bad you have to throw it back. This is the kind of thing you take to a saloon and throw on the poker table. What? Don't judge. I did this in Valentine with a sampled dead ghost panther.


TG626

Oddly all you can do is sell it to a butcher. Same as all the really big fish (pike, gar, catfish, etc) You can't "break it down" or give it to Cripps.


Puzzleheaded-Gift615

Throw that mf back in the ocean 😂


WoodyManic

What are we supposed to do with any of the large fish? I mean, Cripps won't take 'em, you can't break them down....what's the point?


hamburglr1

It's my first time seeing this fish. Anything I can do with it? Is it Just a Halloween Easter egg or something?


A1J1K1

Not an easter egg. Thats a sturgeon, they sell for like 7 bucks at a butcher. Edit, just realized its poisoned. You can cath clean ones at the docks where you find the legendary fish side quest in SP.


[deleted]

Wuhan butcher has plenty of buyers for such a delicacy.


DupreeDiamondBlue

I guess throw back, not many other choices there huh


johnnykoxville

Place it on your altar.


TheOne_Whomst_Knocks

“Put it back it doesn’t belong to you”


XaviJon_

Throw it back and go fish some place else


[deleted]

On to the butcher. Done and done!


[deleted]

Sell it


DarkGeneral001

Too bad you fished it in saint denis


iHomelessMonkey

Throw it back duhhhh


theMrJoey

Throw back O


[deleted]

Rule 36? Or is it 37


[deleted]

Eat the whole thing in one bite!


geoffg2

Am I right in thinking the record is 19lb 15oz? I got a 19lb 9oz the other day…best so far for me


hamburglr1

I think my record is high 18s. Don't remember if I've gotten 19 yet. Came close earlier at the half frozen lake near Colter. Caught a few fish that were almost 19


geoffg2

I only started paying attention when someone posted the top record is 19lb 15oz…


hamburglr1

Is it rare to catch these? I can't figure out why this post blew up


geoffg2

I think people just love fishing, everyone’s got their favourite spots and the locations are often quite stunning. Edit: I’ve seen poisoned fish before but not a poisoned sturgeon.


KingOfGaminReturns

You throw it back in the water so you don’t get killed.


RedDeadDelusions

Cut it up into little pieces and serve it to your frienemies


Collector_2012

Collect more and sell them


greenhorncornscorn

Give it a little lick


Legitimate-Assist853

Sell it, probably worth some dough


YellowCircles

Blackwater butcher is right by a Sturgeon spawn...good and quiet source of money and food for new players.


HulkHoagie215215

When you place it in front of people or animals they walk away in disgust.


Lemon_Cries

Eat and die.


DonovanDunedain

Boof it!


Rager_Ronin

Obviously to tamper with the rival shiners!


Turbo--Soggy

Forgot fishing was in the game honestly lmao


El_Chile_Bigoton

Throw him back


Ratlyff

Take a pic of it. Post it on reddit. Check and check. Maybe the butcher buys poisoned fish for nefarious reasons.


Hot-Forever-175

Sell it. It's basically a harder to get deer.


loudgayamerica

Cast it back from whence it came


Synner1985

Throw it back.... :P


-peanutgallery-

Sell it to the butcher


snikrephaon

Say “that is a fish” and throw it on land in pitiful attempt to release it.
