Be careful about necroing threads. This one is (or at least used to be) two months old. If you are struggling to catch it, check your fishing level. If it is under 7, the bugshark is uncatchable. If it is over 7, it probably is just hiding. It is the most rare fish after all, (its larger than a player) and it is the best food in the game for those without soup creating tools and various good foods to put in it.

Just keep trying, (and reading post dates).
