Fish are the primary fauna in Cat Goes Fishing, recorded in the Catalog. Fish can be found in all regions of the world map, such as the Bay, Coral Reef, Caverns, and Silo. They can be caught and sold, or turned into bait for larger fish.

When you are reeling in Small or Medium fish, pieces of your catch can be stripped off and eaten by larger fish, leaving bare bones after three bites. Normally, bones are worthless, but if you are wearing the Bones hat, they are worth twice as much as an intact fish.

Small Fish

The smallest size category of fish is Small. Small fish can be hooked by any size of bait, and as such are the only fish that will not steal small bait off the hook. They can be blocked from eating Large bait using the Bait Guard rod upgrade. When thrown back in the water, they create medium bait.

Most Small fish will leave when night comes, and return the next morning.

Large Fish

The second-biggest size of fish, Large fish will eat both Small and Medium fish that are dragged past them on a hook. They must be hooked using large bait. Large fish cannot be turned into bait, and if they are thrown back in the water they will simply swim away. Because of this, and because they are usually worth a lot of money, it is usually in a player's best interest to sell Large fish. There are two exceptions to this rule, however: the Chompy and the Josie.

Huge Fish

Huge fish are the ultimate prize of any discerning fishercat - the largest, rarest and most powerful creatures in the sea. They will only take large bait, and in addition require special hook lures to catch successfully (with the exception of the Cave Shark, Swordfish, Dragon and Problematicus). Most Huge fish also have special catching requirements, such as requiring a specific fish be used as bait to catch them. All of them are Exotic, meaning that you will get a bonus if you sell them.
