You might want to put your pet on passive. Otherwise it can kill the fish before it dies from the spear, making it unlootable.
Dunno if this quest is working as intended since there is no use for the spear. The fish are very easy to kill since they are like lvl 4 only.

Description
Have you heard of the prickly puffer fish {name}? Of course you haven't, you're new around these parts! They can be found in the sarjun depths, due west of here. Take this fishing spear and see if you can bring me back of few of their poison tipped spines.
