    Just caught mine in the Tainted Forest.

    525 Fishing + Arcanite Fishing Pole + Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat = 645 Fishing Skill

    Here is the breakdown:
    Raw Whitescale Salmon 667
    Raw Sunscale Salmon 295
    Plated Armorfish 202
    Raw Nightfin Snapper 200
    Lightning Eel 130
    Raw Redgill 95
    Superior Mana Potion 7
    Major Healing Potion 6
    15 Pound Salmon 2
    22 Pound Salmon 1
    Bloated Salmon 1
    Total 1606

    Like always it was one of those "Holy $#&* did I just catch that?" moments.

    Hope this helps everyone else trying out there.

    I only need Bloated Salmon for Oceanographer.... so I've only been fishing on the coast at Silithus... for ages and ages and nothings come up... and we're talking a good 3500 casts here. If I catch it at one of the other locations will it still count towards oceanographer?

    Flycatcher - Yes. The achievement only records a successful looting of the fish.

    Azeroth Salmon are not saltwater fish, so it was always part of the wrong achievement. Catching inland fish from the coast of Silithus is a longstanding (for about 5 years) bug.

    Stats from Un'Goro Crater (Marshlands) while going for the Bloated Salmon.....why the 32 Pound Salmon is the only biggest "Pound" fish that not an achivement I'll never know (frankly all these bloated fish should be on the One That Didn't Get Away Achievement if you ask me).....luckily I already have the 29 pounder ;-)
