Since the arrival of patch 5.0.4, you no longer need to equip a Fishing Pole to use Fishing skill.
Though, you'll be needing one for this quest. Once you catch the Corpse Worm Bait, that can be found right outside Undercity (coord: 65,15), you'll need to equip the worm to a pole, clicking with the right button on the worm an then left click on the pole. Lizbeth Cromwell sells one, right beside the quest giver.
The silly thing is, once you have the Corpse Worm Bait aura (lasts 10 min), it's not necessary to actually equip the fishing pole to your character. Just cast Fishing when you get to the lake (Tirisfal Glade, coord: 67,51) and you'll be fine. I caught my Corpse-Fed Pike on my 5th try.
If you made it to the lake before looking up this quest, go to [npc=2118] in the main building in nearby Brill.

Description
You've fished in Brightwater Lake, yes? The prize catch there is one of the lake's massive corpse-fed pikes. However, they only bite on a very specific type of bait... corpse worms. Search the graves in the courtyard up top and you should find some.
