Hail! I caught not one by TWO Brownell's Blue Striped Racers in today's STV contest...my second and third pairs of Boots (and no Line yet, sigh). Anyway, the "Looting will Bind" dialog box didn't show for either of the Racers, the fish just went right into inventory via Auto-Loot without a fuss. It looks like they decided to get rid of that in the patch.
