Lurker Fish
“The Lurkerfish is an interesting breed of the Anglerfish that is only visible during FischFright. It is said this fish gains its visible body from the thought of FischFright, and during the rest of the year, the Lurkerfish is completely invisible to the untrained eye.”— in-game Bestiary description

Lurker Fish guide
Lurker Fish cannot be caught today. It is a Limited, Seasonal Event fish tagged Unobtainable, tied to FischFright and to Frightful Pool. The listing explains that the fish is visible only during that event and invisible the rest of the year, which sums up why you will not see one now.
What it was: an Anglerfish variety that took Squid bait, at any time of day, under Foggy weather in Winter or Autumn. It averaged 1.25 kg (0.5 to 4.2 kg), sold at an unusually high C$750 per kg and averaged C$937.5, rank 332 of the 742 documented fish. Its 800 base XP was generous for its size, while its maximum weight ranked only 552 of 663.
Candy Fish, Ghoulfish, Nessie, Skelefish and Zombiefish shared its rarity and zone, so it belonged to a crowded event pool of Limited catches.
For you, this is a reference page. If you already own one, the value per kg suggests it is worth more kept than sold at an average price. If not, there is no bait or rod to prepare, and you should not spend resources looking for it.
