If the player catches a fish without letting it slip out the green area once, the catch is considered "perfect", and that word is displayed above the minigame. Perfection increases the fish quality provided the fish was at least silver quality initially: silver quality fish become gold quality and gold quality fish become iridium quality. It also increases fishing experience by a multiplicative factor of 2.4.

It's only possible to know what fish is hooked after it's caught, as the minigame shows no information about the specimen. The player can, however, deduce it by observing its [[Fish#Behavior|behavior]] and knowing the circumstances under which the fish was hooked, such as [[Seasons|season]], [[Day Cycle|time]], [[weather]], and location. The only exception is with [[Fish#Legendary Fish|legendary fish]], which can be seen wearing an orange crown in the fishing minigame.

Players can also use the [[Sonar Bobber]] to see what fish will be caught.
Upon catching a fish, the name of the fish and its size are displayed. If the player got a new record length for the fish, an animation saying "New record!" is shown. Upon catching a legendary fish, a message saying "You've caught one of the legendary fish." is shown.

===Legendary Fish II===
===Legendary Fish II===
There are five legendary fish II that can be caught during [[Mr. Qi|Qi]]'s [[Quests#Extended Family|Extended Family]] quest. They are caught in the same locations and have the same difficulties as the older generation of fish. Note that the fishing bar is the standard fish bar and not distinctly marked as it is with the original legendary fish. In addition, unlike the original legendary fish, it is possible to catch these fish more than once.

In addition, unlike the original legendary fish, it is possible to catch these fish more than once, and they do not share the same experience multiplicative factor of 5.
It is impossible to catch them when the quest is not active. The percent chances of hooking these fish are the same as for the original legendaries. Catching these fish is not required to obtain the [[Achievements|Master Angler achievement]].
