How to Fish tier list: most valuable catches

Every fish, crab and creature you can reel in, ranked by its base value, with the value range its size can give, its weight and the best chance any bait has of hooking it.

Ranked by base value from the game files at build 25604825. Counts what the catch is worth. Does not count how often it bites or how long it takes to reel in (the best bait chance is shown beside it).

How this is ranked

Metric: The catch’s value in the game files. A caught fish rolls a size, and its value scales with it inside the range shown; the base value is what an average-sized one is worth.
How tiers are cut: By percentile within this list, so a tier says where something sits among its peers, not how good it is in absolute terms. Equal values always share a tier.
S: top 10%
A: next 20%
B: next 30%
C: next 25%
D: bottom 15%

Bosses and mini-bosses are ranked by HP on their own list.

One number can't capture everything (reach, speed, effects, how a build plays). That's what the maker is for: open this list there and move things around.
