Skeletal Serpent
“A monstrous, skeletal leviathan that coils through the lightless abyss, its bone-white form glowing with an unnatural, radiant sheen. Stirred from its ancient slumber by a catastrophic pulse of forbidden energy, it emerges from the deep when the seas fall silent, its haunting, resonant hum shattering sonar and reviving long-buried fears of the ocean's wrath. Sailors whisper it is a relic of a lost age, reborn in the wake of humanity's hubris.”— in-game Bestiary description

Skeletal Serpent guide
Skeletal Serpent is an Apex fish with an unusual location: you find it inside the radius of an Atomic Nuke. No bait, weather, season or time of day is listed, so the nuke is the only condition the entry gives. The wiki describes a monstrous skeletal leviathan coiling through the lightless abyss, and the numbers fit that description.
Average weight is 25,000 kg, from 10,000 kg to 84,000 kg, and the maximum ranks 53 of 663 fish. Value per kg is C$1.25, but the sheer mass pushes the average sale to C$50,000, which ranks 31 of 742 documented fish by average value. Base XP is 20,000. It is currently obtainable.
The takeaway is that the whole fish rests on being near a nuke when it happens. That is the part you cannot plan from the data: nothing here says how often the opportunity appears.
Verdict: if you ever find yourself inside that radius, cast a line, because few fish pay this well. A top-31 payout and 20,000 XP are far above everyday fishing. Otherwise, do not build a routine around it, since the one requirement is a rare moment, not a spot you can visit on demand.
