To catch 30 Whoppers in Monster Hunter Wilds, catch the Great Trevally in Scarlet Forest area 10 during daylight hours in Plenty. They appear with a high probability, and there is no need for specific tactics which are typically required for Whoppers, so it is easy to catch them
Go to Scarlet Forest Area 10 at Noon in Plenty

First, head to Scarlet Forest area 10 at noon in Plenty. If the environment is not Plenty in the daytime, take a break in the tent and change the environment.
Proceed with Kanya's Side Mission

To catch Great Trevally, you need to obtain "Tuff Joint Bait". Tuff Joint Bait can be obtained in Kanya's side mission "The Catch of a Lifetime", so if you haven't gotten it yet, proceed with the side mission first.
Set Up a Nearby Pop-Up Camp

Before heading to the waterside of Area 10, we recommend setting up a Pop-Up Camp nearby. The two locations, Area 10 Southwest and Area 18 West are close together, so set up a camp in one of those locations.
