My main spent weeks off and on for the rat. Others I know got it on first cast. My alt did the rat in less than 5 mins. I know because I had 2 mins left on bait after finishing up the coins. (she had way less trouble than my main on that too only 22 baits used [3.6 hours] and my main did 3 hours just on the last gold coin- Chromies. My alt got 3 of those) and I did a 2nd bait and had 8 mins left when I got the rat. I did the fishing daily every day in BC and most days in Wotlk and my main has never gotten a pet bucket. The random number generator is EVIL! 6-carp 2-diff vials 7-Magic eater 1-Rat Salty Gladlyn (alt also got 2 mr Pinchy's in a row once and got 3 total in BC, I fish way less with her than the main) Noodleguitar on "I Smell a Giant Rat - Stats only" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-smell-a-giant-rat-stats-only#post-4813 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:52:15 +0000 Noodleguitar 4813@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Location: Cantrips and Crows When: Insignificant i.m.o.

I only ask that everyone PLEASE, please try to keep this thread for showing the stats pertaining to your success of this achievement only. Try to include as much info as possible (eg, what, where, how long it took you and when the final catch happened.) so that it might potentially be useful to anyone trying to get it done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location = Cantrips and Crows When = Various Times over 4 days.
