How do I quickly get the fishbone hook in Akhtuba River?

[RhizodontFisher377]

I know FP is gonna remove the Akhtuba River map in 3 weeks, so I'm speedrunning Akhtuba missions as fast as I can. I've been fishing in the known pike spots with a barbless 6/0# hook and large minnows, but I've been getting nothing but wels catfish and pike that are way too small. How do I catch 5 northern pike that are over 20 pounds so I can complete the Akhtuba fishbone hook mission?

Achievements in progress at the Akhtuba River location will be marked as completed.
Players in the middle of completing the exploration mission for this location will also have the mission marked as completed.

Took me about 2 hrs complete in-between other missions - coordinates -699.74 , 35.88. You have the right size hooks and bait. Jump between day time peaks, early morning worked best for me. Caught the uni every day and a trophy on the 5th day that was over 20 pounds. Hope it helps.

My thinking on this is yes, if he started this mission and doesn't finish it in time then they will marked as complete and he will get the fishbone hooks. Since the Monster fish mission is a separate mission I don't think that will clear. That's just my thought process since this is something that hasn't happened before. I'm also trying to complete the challenges/missions for Akhtuba since I never really spent much time there.
