Angling for a Bite

How to unlock: You have to catch your first fish.
Commentary: Fishing is one of the additional activities available in Monster Hunter World. Equip yourself with a fishing rod (your character always carries one) and go to a river. Choose where you want to cast your bait - you can do that only near rivers with fish. Wait for a fish to get closer to your bait and catch it. You can attract its attention by moving the left analog stick. Wait for your controller to vibrate and press the button displayed on the screen. Keep pushing the buttons displayed on the screen to catch a fish. You can also catch them by casting a net.
Bosom Buddies

Remember about these activities right from the beginning of the game - thanks to them you can get 100,000 points and unlock this trophy.
Note - You can spend your acquired points whenever you want to. You don't need to have 100,000 points at a given moment. The game adds these points to the counter for the trophy right after acquiring them.
