Are you missing this achievement? You are too lazy to fish for hours?
Fear not! For there is an easy solution.
Fish in Andorhal inside the Deaths of Chromie scenario. For some reason the chance to fish a rare catfish is extremely high.
I used my artifact rod (it completely maxes out during the scenario).Proof: http://i.imgur.com/nvDDCow.png ("X-pfündiger Wels" is german for X pound catfish)
Enjoy.

Commentary: Ultra-rare catch from Schools of Tastyfish during the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. Unlike the other rare fish, there is no quest involved - just equip the fish as a weapon. The Rockhide Strongfish is the rarest of all contest fish - estimated at less than 1 in 1000 catches. Most anglers will never catch it.
