It's unfortunate that Blizzard made it so easy to catch this pet. So many botters just sitting on the docks for 4-6 hours. Really pisses me off to see them hit the achievement then mindlessly continue to fish until the players decides to return.
Also at about 1200 casts with no rat yet :(
I'm at 2,600 casts, no rat. Two of my guildies got it in under 30 casts and I've seen four other players getting it. So frustrating. I do however have a few hundred magic eaters...
I finally got my rat today here are my stats:
Sewer carp: 1262 (56.2%)
Magic eater: 589 (26.2%)
Drowned rat: 112 (5.0%)
Empty vial: 111 (4,9%)
Leaded vial: 40 (1.8%)
Crystal vial: 11 (0.5%)
Imbued vial: 10 (0.4%)
Enchanted vial: 1 (0.0%)
Giant Sewer Rat: 1 (0.0%)
Many, many bobbers...
446 fishes for me on Arbre, my druid
I will update on my warlock once I get the chance to fish with her
Got him on the 11th cast. :) He's actually alot cuter than I imagined a giant sewer rat being. Pets <3
Well over 2,000 casts, and I still don't have my Giant Sewer Rat. On the beta, I got it in under 100 casts :(. I think above the fact that I've spent so much time fishing in the sewers of Dalaran, the fact that I just got 2 Imbued Vials in row at a 0.2% chance to drop upsets me the most. My luck is pretty much horrible - not sure how I'm going to get the one that didn't get away.
to point my part of stats^^
i was at first at the Black Market, and got 67 fishes and then moved to cantrips and crow:
Sewer Carp 1351 55%
Magic Eater 609 25%
Empty Vial 154 6%
Drowned Rat 130 5%
Partially Eaten Fish 116 4%
Leaded Vial 40 1%
Crystal Vial 15
Enchanted Vial 5
Imbued Vial 3
and got it finally after 2491 the smallish rat^^
hi, dont have stats but do have the rat. really happy with him, because i (still) have a pet rat IRL. :)
think i fished for him for 4-5 hours in total, also got my fishing skill up to 450.
I got my rat on my 4th cast, yet the one that didnt get away took like 4000 casts... I love rng
Finally caught it early this morning.

This is not counting the first day I fished in the shallow water in the middle ... that was about 400 catches, but I sold the stuff not thinking I would have to count them later. I thought it would be a 1 time affair to get this reluctant sob.
I was fishing right next to Mr. Pescatore
P.s.: The best site for all there is to know about fishing! Thank You El!
I'm now up to 6,667 casts... still no rat. :(
I just got exalted with the Kalu'ak, so I will now take my new fishing pole and pet Pengu, and try my luck some more.
7154 casts, and he's FINALLY mine!!!! :)
Grats Pwnica!
I think so far U have worked hardest for him.
I didn't count, but I know I haven't spent much time in the sewers so I'd estimate that I caught the sewer rat in under 100 casts.
I'm really happy to have caught him as I have two pet rats in real life and now I have two in game as well (the other being whiskers from children's week :D)
Well, I got this cute little creature today.

After more hours than I dare admit, having been named the insane fishing lady of my guild, approximitely 2800 casts (my fishing buddy somehow reset in the middle, so no exact number), I finally got my sewer rat. I even opened a ticket and talked to a GM, asking for any potential bugs with this catch - the GM was very nice and told me there were no problems, and wished me good luck without mentioning what a sorry person I am for having fished for, I think it was 6 or so hours at that time, and that was way before I actually got it.
Random really is random. Mr Pinchy I got quite quickly - twice - and the pet on the first try, but this just seemed hopeless. But the beauty of fishing - while my guild officially thinks I'm insane with all of the fishing, I have gotten lots of time to talk to everyone :)
Most of the time was spent fishing at Cantrips and Crows.
Kiena, I think it might be something to do with the area your fishing in...
I tried in the northern part of the Under belly & got it within 5 casts.
In The southern part, it took me over 5 hours.
I was wearing all the fishing gear with +stats on,
including my Darkwood Fishing Pole.
I don´t have fish buddy, but i have around 400 Magic eater... so i guess i broke the 2000 fishes :(
450 fishing +2enchant +20 pole +100 lure = 572 and no fishing going away
Hoping now i will get it...
Almost with salty title. :D
