As an observation, knucklehead trout must grow rather large and heavy in order for their ivory to be useful.

Hi, I'm a Mindflayer, but don't let that worry you
It's actually The Crystal Shard, and part of it is quoted directly in the PHB on p. 26 (the section on Halflings): "Regis [...] locked his fingers behind his head and leaned back against the mossy blanket of the tree trunk. [...] The crooked stick that served as his fishing pole rose up above him, clenched between two of his furry toes, and hung out over the quiet lake, mirrored perfectly in the glassy surface of Maer Dualdon."

Possibly a Idiot.
I would imagine that one entrepreneurial soul would have tried to fish using smokepowder.

Have now looked it up. The LotCS Campaign Guide has a section entitled “Fishing the Lake” on page 11. It states that knucklehead trout can reach up to five feet long.
It implies that the larger fish are caught by line (e.g. “... it can be difficult to land a large trout on a small craft.”)
The section finishes with the following sentence: “Most small boats stay close to shore, using lines and nets to catch smaller fish.”

So...what you’re saying is...nobody is going to be noodling for knuckleheads.

As giant shark, with the following alterations: Increase AC to 18, remove Blood Frenzy ability, change damage to 3d8+6 bludgeoning. At challenge level 5 it would suit a level 1-3 party.
You’re going to need a bigger skiff!
If you do, though, there’s lots of RW inspiration to be had by watching episodes of River Monsters, especially those featuring some of our planet’s giant catfish species. As I recall, there’s catfish 7-10’ in length and several hundred pounds to be found in the Amazon, the Mekong, the larger lakes of eastern Europe, and the Indian subcontinent- especially the Kali River. Records of fatal predatory attacks on humans and other large mammals- or at least, scavenged large body parts- have been verified in a few species, and suspected in the cases of people who dissapeared on those waters.
