Grats! I have a question I very much need answered and hoping you can help. I'm trying to catch every fish in the game, but NEED info about the kingfish. I know you have to catch all regular fish in that area before you can catch the kingfish, but do I have to catch fish I already caught in other areas? Like catch every available thing in that area before it unlocks, even branches and stuff? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

do you still need the answer? unfortunately, the way king fish work in this game is very cumbersome. in order to catch the specific king fish that belong to an area, you have to catch every fish available there, in that area. that means if you are trying to catch a king fish in Piedmont, but you have only caught the willowfish (for example) at sunnyside farm, then it wont appear. you need to spend time in each and every area in each season to catch all the fish available there. only then will the kingfish start appearing! this means you can have the full list of fish (apart from kings), and the king fish might still not appear in some area, until you catch every fish there too. annoying!
