For this achievement, you need to catch three different fish and then release them. The three fish you need to find are:

Name fish: Location - Lure | Type - Size - Depth - Weather
Atlantic Halibut: Open Chill - Plug | Strong - Large - Deep - All
Bluefin Tuna: Open Chill - Spinner | Poise - Medium - Deep - All
Atlantic Cod: Bay Waters - Jig | Strong - Small - Medium - All (terrett101: between 0-5am)

Once you have caught one, you have the choice to keep (

) or release (

) the fish. Release one of each fish listed above to unlock the achievement.

MattyMoore08 notes in the comments that this needs to be done with a rod specifically. I can't confirm this, but use the rod if the achievement doesn't unlock with other means of fishing (fishing line or net).

Additional confirmation requested for this solution (if you or anyone else knows it): It seems you need to research the fish before it counts, but do they also all have to be released in one session? (Either one time of playing or one time on the boat?)

Might be worth noting that the Atlantic Halibut can only be caught between midnight and 5am.

I tried many times in Moonglow Bay to catch an Atlantic Cod, but was unable. I finally tried in Azure Crossing and got one on my second cast.

I think it’s the Atlantic Halibut that needs to be caught between midnight and 5 am, not the cod.

@Sabot Fox I did research the fish before attempting this achievement but I am not sure if this is necessary to unlock the achievement. Additionally, I don't think you have to release them in one session. I am fairly certain I have unlocked the achievement by releasing the fish in multiple 'expeditions'. However, because I am using the Quick Resume feature, technically you can still see this as a single play session.

It's also possible that the achievement is just buggy, as many in this game are. If someone has more information, please share it in the comments and I will add it to the guide.

Think this needs to be done with the rod specifically. Didn't pop for me when using line fishing as was doing this one as part of cleanup

@terrett101 @MattyMoore08 Thanks for the comments, I have added those in the solution.
