Just FYI, this is completable in MoP Remix. I got just bronze for the first couple casts but eventually the Golden Cap started showing up.

Note the quest giver Ben is a Fishing Trainer!
I was on a fresh toon @ level 86, that never learnt fishing before, got quest and realised that I needed fishing skill. fly to Jade Forest portal learnt in Org hearthed back to Lazy Turnip, fish, hand in & find he is a trainer! OMG! I can miss the simplest things sometimes:-(
Anyone else find it odd that this is the only quest in the game (by my knowledge) that is not uppercased in every first letter?
EDIT: It appears they have fixed the error as of August 3rd 2013 as far as my knowledge goes

Description
You don't even need to equip a fishing pole in Pandaria! The waters are TEEMING with fish. You'll catch one pretty much every time, as long as you are paying attention. Give it a go!
