Just place 1 Abberation fish. You don't have to fill all the slots.

This Rock Slab can be found on an island east of the main islands of the Stellar Basin region.
- Required fish: 1x Ghost Shark, 1x Hammerhead Shark, 1x Blacktip Reef Shark, 1x Bronze Whealer.
- Reward: Viscera Crane (allows you to catch Hadal and Abyssal fish, 55% fishing speed bonus).

In Dredge, there are 3 more Rock Slabs in the Devil's Spine area. You have to complete them to finish one of the main quests. The walkthrough for both the quest and the Rock Slabs mentioned above can be found on the Flames in the Deep page.
