How to Catch Big Fish in Animal Crossing
Catching big fish in Animal Crossing is all about timing and location! Firstly, make sure you're fishing in the right spots - ocean for sharks, rivers for sturgeons, etc. Big fish shadows are larger than others, so keep an eye out for those. Then, it's all about patience. Wait for the fish to bite and press 'A' as soon as it bites to reel it in. Remember, some big fish only appear during certain times or seasons, so check your game's fish encyclopedia!

Honestly, just keep trying. The big ones are rare and it's supposed to be a challenge. Plus, what's the rush? Enjoy the fishing experience!
Pro tip: Use bait! Scatter some fish bait in the water to attract fish. It increases your chances of encountering a big fish. I've caught some of my biggest fish this way. Make sure you stock up on bait by collecting manila clams on the beach and crafting them into fish bait at a DIY workbench.
Big fish? Just luck. ?♂️
