How to catch the Swordfish

The Swordfish only shows up in Windstorm, Thunderstorm or Hail. The weather changes every few minutes, so keep an eye on the sky and be ready when it turns.

It's a level 5 catch (trophy) with the Leaper fighting style: don't strike while it leaps; it tires when it lands.

Roughly 1 in 500 fish that spawn in the pond is a Swordfish. Worms make fish bite sooner, and rarer fish go for them, so bring some for the hard ones.

Every catch also rolls a random name with a prefix and a suffix, and a rarity tier from Common up to Super Duper Mega Rare, so no two catches are quite the same.
