Make sure to make a save right before catching the antenna grouper, as if this is your last side quest 'The Burden' may not unlock.

This is a side quest that you do for Ethan in Chapter 5. You must catch an antennea grouper that is located in Ivory Dawn. I used Strong Rod, multi lure, and high quality bait.

I caught the antenna grouper and cleared the side quest from the notebook and the achievement didn't pop. Might be wise to make a save before completing this quest in case the achievement doesn't unlock for you.

Are you sure it is in ivory dawn ? Because in my game it send me to the shallow steam. Once there it plays a cinematic telling me I found a school of disguising bass. I searched the 2 spots and did not found it.

You find the disguising bass in Shallow Stream, but once you catch one, you have to go to Ivory Dawn to get the antenea grouper and complete the quest.

Yeah, this one's buggy. I've caught several of them with no achievement.

I think you mean the Strong Rod - no such upgrade as the Super in the game. Plug Lure in deep water with high grade bait works too but I caught several just line fishing.

Anyone know of workarounds to get this to unlock? I finally got Town Roustabout to unlock (which you need to complete this), but this one is still locked.

I did not find the antenea grouper until it prompted me to catch it for this mission. I don't remember off hand the researched name of the disguising bass, but it is red and has an antenea that holds a hat if I am correct. It is found in the Shallow Stream.

Only fish that matches that description I think is the lilitrap angler (not even a bass) and it wouldn’t progress this quest for me when I caught it (multiple of them), it’s supposed to progress the quest right? Really trying to be careful with this one after song of the sea issue haha.

@time 2 die I can’t verify this but I believe I had issues with the same one; I was catching the bass with the line. I think it needs to be done on an individual cast

Finished the quest; no achievement.

Caught the antenna grouper before the disguising bass quest; not sure if that’s relevant or not

I don't think this achievement will pop if it is your last side quest.

Can anyone with this confirm if they'd caught the antenna grouper before getting this? Wondering if that is having a knock on effect to the achievement unlocking.

Maybe a silly question but what’s the disguising bass’ like researched name? And do you just need to find the antenna grouper in ivory dawn for this to work, just trying to figure out which part of this makes it buggy.

You'll receive the side quest from Ethan in Chapter 5 to catch a Disguising Bass - note that this quest will ONLY spawn once you have submitted 90 species to the aquarium.

The Disguising Bass is actually a Lilytrap Angler, which can be caught in the Shallow Stream with the poise rid and the jig lure. It's a medium-sized fish, so low or high grade bait should work.

Once handed in, you'll be sent to catch an Antenna Grouper in the Ivory Dawn. You'll need the strong rod, plug lure and high grade bait as it's a large fish.

In both cases, you'll need to go to the actual locations marked on the map - even if you know the fish can be caught in other nearby areas (for the first fish, you'll get a cut scene so you'll know you're in the right place). Also make sure you fish normally - using nets, line fishing, or the multi-lure won't work.
