'''It was THIS Big!''' is an [[Achievements|achievement]] in ''[[The Long Dark]]''. <br />
<br />
== Guide ==<br />
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:<br />
*[[Coastal Highway]]<br />
*[[Desolation Point]]<br />
*[[Crumbling Highway]]<br />
*[[Bleak Inlet]]<br />
Burbot can rarely be caught in freshwater, which can be found in the following regions:<br />
*[[Ash Canyon]]<br />
*[[Broken Railroad]]<br />
*[[Forsaken Airfield]]<br />
*[[Hushed River Valley]]<br />
*[[Keeper's Pass South]]<br />
*[[Mountain Town]]<br />
*[[Mystery Lake (region)|Mystery Lake]]<br />
*[[Pleasant Valley]]<br />
*[[Sundered Pass]]<br />
*[[Timberwolf Mountain]]<br />
*[[Winding River]]<br />
*[[Zone of Contamination]]<br />
<br />
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). <br />
<br />
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.<br />
