Gear stats: Gathering 505/ Perception 373
Bait: Versatile Lure
Rotation: Snagging ON, Patience II, Precision hookset
Bite: Weak (!)

Happy Fishing!

Comment about removing gear worked. Had full Landsaint gear and wasn't getting anything. Removed right side, caught 3 in about 10 tries with versatile lure right near the NPC. Fair skies, 9am Eorzean time

Zuzumuno Susumuno Behemoth [Primal]

Caught next to the NPC, salmon roe bait, removed all accessories, used snagging and patience. Took about 20 casts to get all three! Good luck ♥

Louna Chouna Balmung [Crystal]

Just caught all 3 to the right of the NPC. I am lvl 71 with full landking gear, I used a Versatile Lure and normal cast with snagging active.

Aciel Adolwolf Zalera [Crystal]

just caught all 3 right next to the quest npc.
Full tacklekeep's gear and landmaster's accessories (gathering 712, perception 575), snagging on, patience 1 and precision hookset for 2 of them, last one was caught on a normal cast at 12 am eorzea time, clouds.

A'miru Fhey Coeurl [Crystal]

Switching to salmon roe as bait and using chum worked. Caught during the day. I had no luck trying any other strategy.

Bjel Roda Famfrit [Primal]

vers bait, took off all accessories with full pactmaker and got straight away

Dru'l Une Shiva [Light]

wtf the comment about taking off ur gear worked. am lvl 90, geared w/ ilvl 560 pactmaker and was fishing for like 15 min w/ versatile lure and only got 1 deep velodyna carp, and when i took my left side off i got the rest of my fish in 2 min

Iris Sternkeep Lamia [Primal]

Was having a bad time to the right of the npc. Took a lot of my gear off (774 gathering and 577 perception), moved to the left of the npc, and caught all 3 back to back. Around 1:30am ET. Fair skys using a versatile lure.

May be easier to catch in the morning. Using salmon roe/patience/snagging with Gathering at 450 and Perception at 380, went through almost 50 bait and got nothing. Then around 7:00 ET I caught all 3 in a row.

Ysibil Kori Excalibur [Primal]

Less than 5 mins

Salmon Roe (the merchant & mender in Castrum Oriens) as bait. Go next to the quest NPC and try to cast there. Quit if the alert that suggest you that the wanted fish is close doesn't appear. Not 100% that the fish is the one you are looking for but it takes 6/7 baits and 5 mins to me

Hopefully this saves others from the headache I went through for this dang feesh. This is as of 6.1, using a versatile lure.
I did this at level 69 (nice) FSH, Gathering 378, Perception 312. Fished right next to the quest NPC. As others have said, you'll get the text prompt that the target fish is near when you cast. I had Snagging active, used Patience, Chum, and PRECISION HOOKSET to get it. If you get double exclamation marks (!!), sorry, that's not the target fish. A single exclamation mark (!) is what you want, but sometimes you'll get the stupid lobster. Anyway I hope that helps someone in the future.

Grimolf Tyrfing Brynhildr [Crystal]

Used a versatile lure right next to the npc with chum. Once you cast you'll get a pop up that the quest is detected, caught all 3 right away!

Gwen Little Sargatanas [Aether]

Boba Fat's comment did the trick for me real quick

Captain Kingfisher Sargatanas [Aether]

Caught three in a row with a versatile lure. Turned on snagging, used Chum each time. Stood next to quest giver (Reyna) and caught them all. The first cast out I got this message: Mark for the quest “A Rousing Reunion” detected.

Sage Potato Faerie [Aether]

Did this at level 72. Had to remove most of my gear. Kept getting large fish instead of the quest fish.

Deusmortis Dominus Maduin [Dynamis]

I used versatile lure right next to Reyna (quest giver), but didn't get anything until I turned on Snagging. Once I did, I got three in a row.

Cat Rose Adamantoise [Aether]

Look at Bobba Fat's comment and follow his steps.
If you get a Bloodsipper, use Surface Slap and cast again to increase your chances.
I got all three of mine in under five minutes from doing this.

Gwyn Bran Zodiark [Light]

Followed everyone's advice in turn, but what worked for me was spending the gil to gear myself to the nines, Salmon Roe right next to the NPC, only used chum, and got all 3 in 5 casts.

Level 63, Gathering 544, Perception 448, foggy weather after 12pm.

Shaziel Scarlett Malboro [Crystal]

Bobba Fat's comment saved me a ton of time. Wasn't getting anything till I noticed that when I moved to a new spot, it would again say "mark for the quest A Rousing Reunion detected." So, that's basically telling you it's physically possible to catch the feesh. Used Salmon Roe and the only ability I used was Chum.

BUGGED QUEST?

No, it's not actually bugged but I thought it was. Initially I caught an HQ carp and it counted towards the quest. I then caught NQ and it didn't count towards the quest. I thought maybe the quest was written incorrectly and that HQ was required. However it happens that the game only counts the version that you caught first. You still have to turn in NQ fish. I saw on another website that you either have all NQ or all HQ for it to count towards the quest.

With all of that being said, I caught 2 HQ and 1 NQ. It only counted the 2 HQ until I lowered the quality and suddenly the quest was marked as complete.

Maui Laui Cactuar [Aether]

Some of these comments made me worry this was going to be difficult in some way.

I used a versatile lure and cast exactly next to Reyna (the quest giver) and got all 3 in 4 casts. It was around 9 pm in Eorzea time so idk if that makes a difference at all.

Atkiray Kha Mateus [Crystal]

Okay so this took me over 20+ casts of which each took about a minute of waiting, Chum reduced waiting to 40 seconds. At the beginning I used Versatile lure at the middle of the river, Got nothing so I moved next to the NPC and tried with Patience. Didn't work. Tried Snagging didn't work.

What I ended up doing was casting a plain Versatile lure next to the NPC one time and then resetting by moving around in my place and then starting again. It says "Mark for the Quest "A Rousing Reunion" Detected" and that's when i got my last 2 in a row. Not sure If this is the correct way but my mission might have been bugged and that seemed to fix it.

Bobba Fat Twintania [Light]

If you get a HQ carp, you can Lower Quality with right click and it counts towards quest! Make sure to stack them up in a stack of 3 before you turn in!

Iona Lassa Siren [Aether]

I do not know why, but I kept losing this fish on the line. I ended up increasing my gear just to keep losing it again. Then I put on SNAGGING and I caught all three in a row. Put on SNAGGING see if this helps. I assume from my experience it is need.
