How to Catch a Tuna in Animal Crossing
Catching a tuna in Animal Crossing isn't too hard once you get the hang of it! First things first, make sure it's between November and April (if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, or May to October in the Southern Hemisphere) because that's when these big fishies are around. Head over to the pier - that's the long wooden dock on your island. Whip out your fishing rod and look for a huge shadow in the water. Those tuna shadows are massive! Be patient, it might take a few tries since the pier also attracts other large fish. When your lure drops, wait for a firm bite - the fish will tug hard. Press 'A' quickly to reel it in. Voila, you've got yourself a tuna!

Don't waste your time looking for tuna in rivers or ponds, they ONLY appear at the pier. Big shadow, pier, got it?
Honestly, I spent days trying to catch one of these. It鈥檚 all about luck and patience. Keep at it, and make sure your fishing rod is always ready when you stroll by the pier. You never know when that tuna shadow will show up.
