🎣Module introduction

This mod restores the **Legendary Catfish XL** variant that should have been in the game but was removed! By leveraging legacy file assets from the game, I applied the legendary catfish's albino color to the regular-sized catfish and added it to the spawn cycle of the other three catfish.

✨ Unique Features

  • 🐟 **Special Appearance**: Has a unique albino color that is clearly different from other catfish
  • 🎮 **UNIQUE ANIMATION**: Since the original animation does not exist, this legendary catfish will not have a wrapping animation when picked up, allowing you to always admire it in its full color
  • 🌍 **World Rich**: Adds diversity to the game world and unlocks unused game resources

📦 Version selection

Legendary Catfish Restoration Edition

Added an unused Legendary Catfish variant to the game as a regular-sized Catfish, spawning alongside the other three Catfish species

River Monster Edition

Changed all four catfish variants to XL size for large catfish (note: due to size, the hook will catch on the fish's body rather than its mouth)

River Monster (Legendary Edition only)

Legendary Catfish variant added in XL size only

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: The XL version is for entertainment only and may have problems such as mold wearing, abnormal weight, and incorrect hook position.

🎯 Usage suggestions

  • Use **Lenny Mod Manager** to install multiple versions at the same time and switch between them before playing the game
  • It is recommended to go to the marked fishing spots in cloudy weather (the module provides map locations)
  • All catfish variants can be generated directly after installing Rampage Trainer

🛠️ Installation instructions

  • First install Lenny's Mod Loader correctly
  • Place the 'lml' folder into your Red Dead Redemption 2 game directory

📍 Looking for Catfish

The mod provides map locations for three known spawn points. Using the Rampage Trainer can make the water clearer, making it easier to observe catfish in the water. Spawning is random, sometimes new legendary catfish are encountered and sometimes not.

Enjoy catching this special legendary catfish in the game! 🎣

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
