Checked on 21 October 2026 against GONE Fishing 1.0 (20 October 2026, with the 20 October hotfix). Steam app 3645890 by GONE Studios. Forum dates are UTC.

Short answer. The Steam achievement data for GONE Fishing, read on 21 October 2026, gives each achievement a name, a description, a hidden flag and a global unlock rate [S1]. The tables below list each entry. Many descriptions state the condition: reach a day from 7 to 60, or catch a fish of a set weight [S1]. Joke descriptions cover the rest, and official posts add detail where they exist [S1]. For legendary and mythical catches, the hotfix of 20 October 2026 says "all players in the lobby will earn the achievement" [S3].

What changed for rare-fish achievements

GONE Fishing left Early Access with its full release on 20 October 2026 [S2]. Its release notes say that on catching a legendary or mythic fish, "you will unlock an achievement and a hat to prove your feat" [S2]. They add that "catching Nessie unlocks the Nessie hat" and that the same now applies to each legendary and mythical fish [S2]. For the rest of the release, see what the full release changed.

The hotfix of the same day fixed a bug where clients did not unlock those achievements, then changed the rule: "Now when someone catches a legendary/mythical fish, all players in the lobby will earn the achievement." [S3] The post gives its reason as "I felt like it was to grindy so this change should help fix that" [S3].

The earlier behaviour is described in a forum thread. Matte3rd wrote on 19 October 2026 at 22:38 UTC that when a non-host catches a rare fish the achievement pops up only for that player, but when the host catches one, everyone gets it [S4]. Bigsexy replied on 20 October 2026 at 01:38 UTC: "yeah this has been a very weird bug, ill look into this tomorrow" [S4]. The report predates the hotfix, so it describes the behaviour before the change.

The release notes also describe a new mythical fish, Rhizo, found "in deep waters on the Lake map" [S2]. They state that "Defeating the boss and acquiring the MOBY rod is going to be required for this fish" [S2]. The list has a row with the ID ACH_RHIZO, shown in the species table below [S1].

Global rates are live figures. The full release was one day old when the list was read, so treat the rates here as a snapshot of 21 October 2026 [S1].

A post of 2 December 2025 (Early Access) says "Added a new achievement for surviving 35 days on Jeremy Wade difficulty" [S7]. The last row above, whose description reads Survived until day 35 on Jeremey Wade difficulty with that spelling, fits that post [S1]. The day 60 row has no matching post in the sources read [S1].

The 100lb row is named what the fish and the 10000lb row WHAT THE FISH, which differ only in capitals [S1]. The 10000lb row was added in Early Access; a post of 12 September 2025 lists it among six new achievements [S5]. Later fixes to those unlocks are covered under version history.

The same 12 September 2025 post lists six new Steam achievements: catching a 10000lb fish, catching a puffer fish, catching a walking goblin shark, gambling a fish, catching Nessie, and getting a max win [S5]. It adds that a max win "can either be you or someone in your group" [S5]. The puffer, goblin, Nessie and max win rows above are the ones with matching descriptions [S1].

The Keep the pointy end away row has the ID ACH_STINGRAY [S1]. A post of 9 September 2026 added "a 5% chance to get a string ray from tnt fishing" and says the fish "can be used for gliding when equipped" [S13].

In Early Access, GONE Studios wrote on 28 June 2025 that "if you survive until at least day 7, you will be granted a perk" [S10]. On 10 July 2025 it changed this so that perks "are unlocked on every 7th day" [S12]. The perk post of 28 June 2025 names a sticky hook perk, and a Midas Touch perk that "will passively grant you one gold every 5 minutes" [S11]. Those two perks share names with the ACH_MET_STICKYHOOK and ACH_MET_MIDASTOUCH rows [S1].

Some of these rows had unlock bugs. A post of 9 July 2026 fixed "the achievements for killing a player with tnt and for pushing a player for atleast 10 seconds" [S8]. A post of 29 September 2026 fixed "the achievements for killing your friend and killing a troll would not unlock" [S9]. The release notes also fixed the Killed Friend and Killed Troll achievements [S2]. The list's rows with the IDs ACH_KILLED_FRIEND and ACH_KILLED_TROLL carry rates of 7.1% and 1.2% [S1].

The release notes say that once you defeat the boss, you unlock the MOBY [S2]. The list has rows for defeating the Lake Entity, the MOBY and the MOBY rod [S1].
