With most fish, once they bite you just hold down a button and they’re automatically reeled in.
Not so with Whoppers.
This is when you’ll see the largest numbers of Whopper fish such as Gajau and Gastronome Tuna.
These feeding frenzies tend to happen during the morning or evening.
Fish as normal until you get a bite from a Whopper.
It may take time; the Gajau in particular are quite timid.
Keep trying and you’ll eventually get their attention.
Keep doing this, and the fish will stop moving after a few back-and-forths.
Repeat the process, and you’ll eventually reel it in far enough to actually catch the fish.
At times, the Whopper fish may leap into the air to try and disentangle itself from your line.
When this happens, move the thumbstick upwards with the fish and tapRT.
Or, on keyboard, holdWand then tap the middle-mouse button.
Doing this will greatly tire out the fish, making it easier to catch.
If the tension on the line increases enough, then the fish will escape.
If you do it right, there should be little to no vibration from your controller.
That wraps up this guide on the tricky task of catching yourself a Whopper fish in Monster Hunter Wilds.
