One of each, in one place on the map, and they do not come back. The pelt goes to the trapper and the part goes to a fence โ skinning it yourself wastes both.

Player notes
The Legendary Redfin Pickerel is a Legendary Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2, identified as Esox americanus americanus. It is a rare pickerel distinguished from ordinary fish by its Legendary status. Local fishermen report sightings in Stillwater Creek, and its estimated size is around nineteen inches with a weight of more than ten pounds.
It lives in Stillwater Creek in Hennigan's Stead, New Austin. The fishing spot is the creek's largest pool, situated between Thieve's Landing and MacFarlane's Ranch. Like other pickerel, it favors warm, sunny conditions and responds to Special Lake or River Lures. A Special Lake Lure is used to catch it in the Stillwater Creek pool.
The fish is one of the thirteen Legendary Fish available in the game. It can be caught on its own or during the Stranger mission "A Fisher of Fish".
