'''It was THIS Big!''' is an [[Achievements|achievement]] in ''[[The Long Dark]]''. 

== Guide ==
This achievement is obtained after catching a fish weighing greater than five kilograms. Typically, the only fish that can weigh greater than five kilograms is the [[Coho Salmon (Raw)|Coho Salmon]] and the [[Burbot (Raw)|Burbot]]. Coho Salmon can only be caught at [[Fishing Hut|Fishing Huts]] (or Free Form Fishing) in saltwater, namely in:
*[[Coastal Highway]]
*[[Desolation Point]]
*[[Crumbling Highway]]
*[[Bleak Inlet]]
Burbot can rarely be caught in freshwater, which can be found in the following regions:
*[[Ash Canyon]]
*[[Broken Railroad]]
*[[Forsaken Airfield]]
*[[Hushed River Valley]]
*[[Keeper's Pass South]]
*[[Mountain Town]]
*[[Mystery Lake (region)|Mystery Lake]]
*[[Pleasant Valley]]
*[[Sundered Pass]]
*[[Timberwolf Mountain]]
*[[Winding River]]
*[[Zone of Contamination]]

As Burbot is a rare fish, using a [[Fishing Lure (disambiguation)|Fishing Lure]] improves the chances of catching it. Using [[Fishing Bait]] can help increase the chances of getting a sufficiently large fish. However, at skill levels 4 and above, it is possible to catch a [[Smallmouth Bass (Raw)]] or [[Rockfish (Raw)|Rockfish]] weighing over 5kg and get the achievement this way (due to the increased average fish weight effect from level 4 or 5 ice fishing). 

The achievement can also be unlocked by quite easily by catching the [[Big Bass (Raw)|Big Bass]] (15.00kg] for the [[Tall Tales]] side mission in [[Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy]], by following the [[Joplin's Bunker Raid]] side mission.
