Head through the Insignia Gate at the Lakeside Settlement to find this quest.

In the area, you’ll find an Insignia Gate. If you use the key and head on through, you’ll find a blue note asking that you catch a Lunker Bass, based off of the photo provided.

The photo is a little tricky to make out, but it’s actually showing the fish just in front of the Boat House. Ride on over to the other side of the lake until you’re just outside the Boat House. Here, you’ll find a large green fish swimming around the water, minding his own business.

Fire one of your harpoons at it to kill it, and then drive the boat a little closer to pick him up. Now, all you need to do is hope you’ve enough inventory space for this big fish.

With the bass collected, head back to the Merchant and sell it to him. Once that’s done, you’ll be awarded four Spinel for your valiant efforts against the Lunker Bass. Well done!

Kelsey's passion for gaming began with Resident Evil, and it's been rather difficult to get them to shut up about horror games since. When they're not scoping out new scares or commiserating the cancellation of Silent Hills, they can often be found fawning over cute Pokémon and Kirby, or being very average at FPS games.
