thumbs up from here, but i would like to add that you need the sardine to catch the blue marlin.

it's actually possible to catch pretty much any fish with a straight up lure- it's just very uncommon for some, but you're right- sardines are the way to get marlins. I'll update it. thanks for the input.

To add to rastal's guide, each type of fish has a specific tug sequence that will help you identify what you have on the line. Use this to not waste time and bait when you're looking for a specific type of fish. I'll note them by the number and frequency of small tugs, then "Pull" for the big one where you actually have to land the fish. So 2, 1, Pull would be two quick small tugs, followed by a single small tug, followed by the fish actually taking the bait (don't use A to start the battle, just push down on the LS).
Junk (buckets, cans, and clumps in the desert) will always be 1, Pull. If you don't want to waste bait, a second or so after the big Pull you can just reel it in and get "not even a nibble". I think if you try this with any fish, though, it'll take your bait (but someone else can confirm this).
FISH:
Shaman Fish: 1, 1, Pull
Sardine: 2, Pull
Blowfish: 1, 1, Pull
Rainbow Trout: 1, 1, Pull
Bream: 2, 2, Pull
Black Bass: 1, Pull
Sandfish: Pull (it will bite as the very first action on the lure)
Royal Fish: 2, 1, Pull
Blue Marlin: Pull (same as Sandfish)
Hyneria: 1, 1, Pull
Rhizodont: 2, 2, Pull
Giant Catfish: Pull (same as Sandfish)
Shark: 1, Pull
Carp: 2, Pull
Dunkleosteus: 1, 2, Pull

Before even attempting this trophy, make sure to complete all the Fisherman's Gambit side-quests, or else some fish will be impossible to catch. The bait required for fishing can be brought at Seafront.
Fishing in NIER can be very confusing at first. Before even attempting to catch any fish, you will need to acquire a fishing rod from the Fisherman in Seafront, however this cannot be done until a certain part of the story.
After you have obtained the fishing rod, go to certain lakes, ponds or sea and press
to fling your rod. Your rod will dip slightly, usually only a couple of times before a final big dip, this is the time to reel it in by pressing 
. The health of the fish will appear as a bar near the bottom of the screen, the fish cannot be caught until the bar has been completely depleted. To decrease its health move 
in the opposite direction that the fish is swimming. If it's too hard to tell, move in the same direction that your character is facing. If the Healthbar is yellow and not decreasing, adjust the positioning slightly.
Note: There are two beach-like areas in Seafront, Small Beach refers to the one near the Fisherman, whereas Large Beach refers to the one near the Lighthouse.
Note 2: Catching a Shaman Fish is part of a story mission. If when attempting to catch the fish the two days later screen appears, you will have to catch it again.
