The answer and source
GTA VI fishing is described as catch and release in GameSpot’s reporting on Rob Nelson’s answers to TGG. That means keeping or selling fish should not be promised by importing another game’s economy. This is a recreational activity reported before launch rather than an income route FansGTA has tested in the finished game.
What is documented
The September report distinguishes fishing from hunting: a possible money connection for one does not automatically make the other a business. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a comparison rather than permission to copy its bait, prices or legendary fish. The official Leonida Keys cover provides context, not a marked and verified fishing spot.
How to check and avoid confusion
Preparing to fish involves three separate questions: where equipment comes from, which controls apply and what a catch rewards. The checked sources do not provide a complete final walkthrough covering all three. We therefore publish no invented coordinates, shop prices or universal button sequence. A promotional scene with a rod cannot independently establish every detail.
FAQ and related guide
Can fish be kept? The reported system is catch and release. Are hourly earnings verified? No. Is fishing mandatory for progression? These sources establish no such requirement.
