Byproduct when combining Blackwater Whiptail, fished from Blackwater Whiptail School in Talador (NOT Spires of Arak, as some quests may indicate). Quest item. Fishing page indicates these fishing pools are also in your garrison, but you will need to complete Blackwater Whiptail (Horde) or Blackwater Whiptail (Alliance) before you can do any fancy fishing at your (level 2+) hut.

Your Fishing skill determines which size fish you're more likely to get - ex.: with lower skill in Fishing, you are more likely to get Small Blackwater Whiptail from Blackwater Whiptail School.

So...
5x Small Blackwater Whiptail OR 5x Blackwater Whiptail OR 5x Enormous Blackwater Whiptail will produce varying quantities of meat (Blackwater Whiptail Flesh) and eggs. If you have more than 10 eggs when you go to turn in the quest, the questgiver will take all of the eggs in your bags. You can bypass this by putting the rest in your bank, or mailing to an alt for safe keeping or their own turn-ins. (This was later patched. Eggs now give credit without being a bag item. Any old eggs you had saved before this was patched were not removed from your bank, etc., but new eggs cannot be saved for later.)

If you have more than 10 eggs you can put the rest in the bank and they will not be used!

Fishing skill determines what size of fish you get. Skill also determines how much Blackwater Whiptail Flesh, and how many of these eggs you get when filleting. So use lures or other Fishing gear while fishing (to catch more Enormous Blackwater Whiptail (and thus reduce the number of fish you need to catch (and maybe work on Blackwater Whiptail Angler))), but also when filleting.

Bait determines what type of fish you get when fishing in open water (not pools). So use Blackwater Whiptail Bait, or keep hunting for pools, or do neither and just fish for longer (while you catch lots of Crescent Saberfish). But that would be silly because you'll catch some bait pretty quickly.

Save your extra fish eggs: before complete the daily fishing quest, you can mail the extra eggs to your alts, they can also use it for the quest, or just sell the extra eggs to the vendor, after completting the quest you can buy it back.

You can no longer sell these on the auction house as of Feb 24/15 as they are a "quest item" which can't be sold.
