◇ Hoga at a glance

Hoga (Texcocichthys hoga) is the legendary fish of Huatulco, Stage 2 of Scale the Depths — a boss catch that sits well above the normal catch pool. At 850 feeding value it is the single most valuable thing you can pull out of Huatulco, worth far more than any regular species there.

Exactly one customer treats Hoga as a favorite: Quetzalcōātl in Huatulco, who pays up to 1125 coins when you serve it cleanly. Because it has a single ideal buyer, any Hoga you land has an obvious home — hold it for Quetzalcōātl rather than spending it on a smaller order.

In the Huatulco value ladder, just below it sits Roosterfish (425). If you are deciding which to bank when your bag is tight, feeding value is the tiebreaker — the higher number is always worth more to a hungry customer.

◇ Where it hides

Huatulco's final deep route, after the puzzle chain and late collection path.

✦ How to catch it

  • Reach Hoga only after Pouch, the boat decal and the cloth chest are done — make it a clean, dedicated run.
  • Hoga moves in wider arcs than normal fish and commits to its path. Keep your hook ahead of where it's moving, not where it just was.
  • The fight punishes weak hook damage — if it drags on, upgrade hook or line before retrying.
  • Don't start with a nearly full bag; go in light so you have time and line to keep pressure.

◆ Prepping it cleanly

  • Pan the camera to see the full long body before you start.
  • Work across the body in controlled passes, not fast swipes.
  • Slow down around fins, head edges and tight highlighted sections.
  • Don't rush the final cuts just because most of the bar is full — Hoga's size makes sloppy knife work costly.
