Best place to find an tame them is Valguero Abb in the shallow river
Be really care when knocking these things out from a distance! Unfortunately they don't look knocked out when they are so continuing to shoot darts at them can be an easy an unfortunate mistake to make.
- Main use for this tame is using the Angler as a "lure" for other anglers kill anglers for their gel. The gel is the longest burning fuel in the game at approx. 6 minutes per 1 gel

You donβt need a saddle to ride them.
The best place to tame them is on Eldritch Isles in crystal isles, they spawn inside those water bubbles making it easy to shoot darts or even shocking tranq darts on them from the outside of the bubbles. Watch out for the piranas there because once tamed they will just eat your newly tamed Angler.
Can be used to pick up 60ish pearls instead of 6 or so by hand. Awesome tame now since the update added this.
They have a LOT of torpor. I tamed a level 10 and it had 1500 torpor

Very long tame took forever but worth it
It's a good idea to trap them if you can then they can't swim away, making the taming process alot easier.
Since update these bad boys are amazing for pearls chomp and run. Suggest. Speed and damage
I dont have one yet, but id guess that a sarco would be helpful to tame one as they are fast and u can use weapons while mounted.
Make it stronger and more health
Use a high damage crossbow to avoid accidently killing the angler. If you dont have such a crossbow its highly advised to use tranq darts: however you need to lure the angler into a water cave and shooting it within as longneck rifles cant be use in water. Good luck
I would recommend taming a Basilosaurus first because they are not affected by shocks from eels and easy way to get bio toxin then you can scout one out. Best bet use harpoon gun with tranq spears to not kill. Spend a little time on icebergs gathering kairuku eggs and your all set.
Use a squid to knock them out for a little easy cage free tame
Bring a crossbow, so you can shoot underwater.

Use an acd crossbow as soon as you hit it, it will run follow it until attacks again that's the trick on not killing them
