• All fishing rods and hard fishing spots

There are four fishing rods in the game. You can view all of them and their requirements at every shop in the game. The rods are listed under "Weapons", "Fishing Rods". Before you begin, it is highly recommended to first unlock the "Fisher King" perk for four perk points. You need it for rod 3 and 4. With this perk, you scroll over the rod in the utility wheel and press Triangle to change the flies (lure). You must select the correct flies for each fish (Salmon, Bass, Trout, Sturgeon). Successfully complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding fishing rod:

1. Basic Fishing Rod: Buy it at any shop for $300 (also found at every fishing spot for free).

2. Natural Fishing Rod: Buy it at any shop for $800.

3. Wonderboy Fishing Rod: Successfully complete Skylar's questline. She is found at "Dylan's Master Bait Shop" fast travel point in Jacob's region. You must complete the following three quests for her: "Tools Of The Trade", "Gone Fishin'", and "The Admiral".

4. Old Betsy Fishing Rod: Beat each region's records at the hard fishing spots. Equip the Wonderboy fishing rod to increase the odds of catching bigger fish. There is a fishing board in every region's headquarters (Fall's End, Hope County Jail, and Wolf's Den). It shows the weight of the fish you need to catch on the board. This can only be done at fishing spots that say "Hard" on the map. The weight of the fish you catch is random, but you will probably beat most of them on your first try when using the Wonderboy fishing rod (you almost never break the records with the first two fishing rods). The most it will usually take to beat a record is five tries.

You can see blue ribbons on the fish records you have broken on the fish record boards. That is the only way to keep track of it. So you actually need to go inside the headquarters of each region, look at the board, and check for a blue ribbon on the fish. When you catch a fish, it also shows its size. Additionally, the four fishes on the left side of the board only need to be caught once and will count for all three regions. You do not need to catch them three times. Only the 2-3 fishes on the right side of the board are required specifically for a region. You will have to catch every single fish in the game at a hard spot. This also completes half of the "Been There, Done That" trophy. The following is a list of the required sizes of fish to catch to beat the records:
