A short guide for catching Listracanthus (and The Jaws of Undeath!) in Lakeland. Listracanthus is one of the 6 legendary fish added in patch 5.55. It’s pretty straight forward, but still no joke! (Apologies for some stutters in the recording, there were some errors that popped up)

Listracanthus
Folklore Book: Norvrandt
Location: Lakeland
Fishing Hole: The Isle of Ken
Bait: Baitbugs (mooch)
Conditions: 16-24, Clear OR Fair Sky to Fog
Gathering Req: 2250
Arrive before the 16:00 window and catch a fish. You can either do any fish, or go for Vicejaw, a !!! bite; any will work. Surface Slap whatever you catch, then use Chum and let your GP regen until the 16:00 window. Remember what you Surface Slapped! This will prepare you to catch The Jaws of Undeath for the Listracanthus Mooch.
The Jaws of Undeath bites NO LATER THAN 25s without Chum, 16s with Chum (using a standard macro timer, linked below).
When the window opens, cast out. If you slapped a Vicejaw, reel in any !!! bite. If you slapped something else, reel in any !!! bite BEFORE 25s if not using Chum (16s with Chum). It’s recommended to only use Chum if you’re about to cap your GP. You will need to save your GP for potentially using Mooch II, and Patience II when Mooch II is on cooldown. If you get a !!! bite within the the right time frame, reel it in. It will require Powerful Hookset if you are using Patience, and if prep was done correctly, will be The Jaws of Undeath.
Once you catch The Jaws of Undeath, immediately mooch it with whatever mooch is available. The next bite will ALWAYS be Listracanthus. If using Patience, Listracanthus requires Powerful Hookset to catch.
Listracanthus can get away fairly often, so expect to have to catch multiple Jaws of Undeath. If Listracanthus gets away and Mooch II is on cooldown, use Patience II and a hi-cordial to keep your GP high.
This is one of the more straight forward and reliable hooks of the Shadowbringer’s legendary fish, so keep at it and it’ll eventually be yours!

Ah. Good memories of my first ShB legendary
Yep slapping Vicejaws before window is always a good bet in my opinion.
Getting a !!! during window only for it to be Vicejaw when I could have prevented that is annoying.
Is there a particular minimum gathering rating needed for this guy? I just hooked them but it says that I do not meet the gathering requirement for him
