Quest fishes can only be caught when the quest for the specific fish is given by the Angler. You can at times, catch a quest fish before the Angler has given you one, but it doesn't really mean much either since upon each dawn, a new quest is determined randomly.

If you've been fishing over an hour, the quest would've been reset and you probably now have a new quest. If you talk to the Angler at exactly dawn, you have about 23 minutes to catch the quest fish. Quests reset at 4:30 A.M.
