Whale Shark

“Whale Sharks are large but friendly sharks, as opposed to other sharks found in the Ocean. They are most active during the day, where they swim around in search of small organisms to eat. Despite being playful and harmless, they will still put up quite a hefty fight when hooked.”— in-game Bestiary description

Whale Shark guide

At an average of 9,000 kg and a ceiling of 21,000 kg, Whale Shark is a very heavy catch. Its maximum weight ranks 76th of 663, and its average sale of C$5,850 puts it 160th of 742 documented fish by value.

The interesting part is the rate: only C$0.65 per kg. The money is entirely in the mass. It is Mythical, tagged as both a Hunt fish and a Shark, and it gives 3,000 base XP.

You fish it in The Ocean with Shrimp, in Day and Clear weather, during Summer or Autumn. The bait is simple, so the real barrier is timing: you need the right two seasons and a clear day.

Six other Mythical fish share The Ocean with it: Colossal Squid, Great Hammerhead Shark, Great White Shark, Mythic Fish, Oarfish and Sea Pickle. That is a crowded Mythical pool, so you may land one of those while waiting for this one.

Verdict: worth a dedicated Summer or Autumn day. Almost C$6,000 and 3,000 XP for a Shrimp bait is a strong trade, and the size of the payout means a single catch can change your coin total.
