- "I caught a giant catfish! (That's because I used a giant mousefish as bait!)" —Animal Crossing
The giant catfish is one of the few river pool fish in Animal Forest, Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+. It sells for 3,000 Bells. The fish appears between 4 PM and 9 AM, during the months of June, July, August, and September. It is the larger counterpart of the more common catfish. If it drifts too far down the river into the next acre it will eventually disappear, like other pond fish.
Donating to the museum
In Animal Crossing
When donating to the museum in Animal Crossing, Blathers will give a little speech as follows:
"Hoo my! What a large fish! If I remember correctly, these beasties can only be caught in ponds, wot wot! Catfish whiskers don't actually sting, you know. The 'sting' comes from stiff pectoral barbs located below the gills. Simply ecstatic to have this fine fellow. We'll take good care of him. Hoo! I promise you that!"
