Fish It added two new Secret-rarity fish with its first Christmas-themed patch, the Christmas Island update. One of these is the Grinch Whale, a whale-type fish that can only be caught during the Christmas season. Available in the waters surrounding the new Christmas Island, the Grinch Whale can be one of the most elusive fish species in the game.
Naturally, catching it requires you to get the best gear and manage your Luck stat effectively. This guide gives you the details of its location and the recommended gear to catch it within a reasonable time frame.
Breaking down the Grinch Whale in Fish It
How to find
Use the portal to reach Christmas Island (Image via Roblox)The Grinch Whale is not restricted to a random event or an Admin event, despite being a Secret-rarity species. This makes it available to fish from the waters near Christmas Island at all times. So, you can grab your best fishing rod and start casting your line to try to catch it immediately.
To get to Christmas Island, you may take two distinct approaches: by boat or by portal. Reaching the Island through the portal is simple: from your spawn location on Fisherman Island, follow the coastline until you spot the teleporter. It is located in the exact opposite direction from the Traveling Merchant. Step into the portal to reach the new area.
Alternatively, you may hop on a boat and head in the direction of the area labeled “Christmas Island.” This is the slower method of the two, but it makes the location accessible from any point on the map.
If you’re looking for more high-rarity species to catch, the Fish It Worm Fish guide can help you secure the Worm Fish from the Ocean at any time.
How to catch
Fish in the waters near Christmas Island for a chance to catch the Grinch Whale (Image via Roblox)The Grinch Whale has a catch rate of one in 1,500,000, placing it in the highest tier of fish rarity in the game. Catching it will have you gather some of the best gear in the game with the objective of maxing out your Luck stat. Naturally, this entails completing a few challenging quests to get these items.
First, you will need the Element Rod, a rod obtained by completing the associated quest. It has a Luck rating of 1,111%, a Lure Speed of 130%, and a weight capacity of 900,000 kgs. While other fishing rods like the Ghostfinn and Bamboo Rods can potentially get the job done, their stats are notably lower than the Element Rod.
Next, the best Bobber to pair with this fishing rod is the Singularity Bait, which can be bought from the Traveling Merchant. It has a Luck boost of 380%, shooting your Luck up even further.
You can also optionally use elements like Lucky Potions and Server Luck boosts to amplify your stats. With these active, you should be able to catch the Grinch Whale relatively quickly.
