Several ways to take it down.
In melee: Upgrade your armour as much as possible. preferably something with some good water resistance. then take either a GS or LS [GS if you're good at timing your blows and blocks, LS if you're good at timing combos and dodging]. the TDS [or whichever upgrade you have it up to at this point in time] is my suggestion if you take the LS route. as for GS, Sorry, I can't recommend a weapon. I almost never use GS.
ranged: Thunder element bow. most powerful one available to you. Ideally, one with a Piercing shot. of course, improving your armour as much as possible is a given, but if you're good, you can take him out without being hit. get him out of the water, and then shoot down his length with the piercing shot. when it starts moonwalking, be ready to roll to the side to evade it's water jet. This tactic is also good because it allows you to break it's fin, which is usually unreachable. Don't make that a priority though. Make sure you have a full stock of whatever coatings your bow can use, with emphasis on Paralysis and Power coatings. piercing shots from head to tail cause a load of damage, and with paralysis coatings you have the chance to tear him apart without ever getting in range of the hipcheck. Ideally, you should keep yourself at a distance too close to be hit by the sweeping water jet, and too far to be hit by the hipcheck. after that, all you have to worry about are the direct head on water jet [which is very easily dodged] and the forward 'slither' he does [which is the reason I said upgrade your armour as much as possible, because a large Plesioth is very difficult to dodge when it does that move, especially if you're backed into a corner].
Follow that and Plessy should be dead in about 20 minutes, likely less if you're good with your bow.
