Iron Chunk guide
Iron Chunk is not a fish at all: it is a lump of raw iron ore you can pull up in The Mineshaft, and it is the Common entry of that zone. The game describes it as a heavy chunk of ore ready to be smelted into something useful. No bait, weather, hour or season is listed, so it comes up whenever you fish there.
A chunk weighs 2.5 kg on average and 8.4 kg at most, 479th of 663 by weight, and sells for C$281.90, which is 456th of the 742 documented fish by average value. The price per kg is a generous C$112.45 for a Common item, but the XP is only 30.
That combination decides the verdict: Iron Chunk pays about the same as a fish of Unusual rarity while giving almost nothing in XP, so it is useful for coins, not for leveling. If your aim is levels, throw it back into your mental pile of fillers and look for fish that give more XP. If you need quick cash and are already in The Mineshaft, sell every chunk you pull. There is no reason to hoard them.
